6. Figure 2-6 shows one tripod leg hinge ready to attach to the accessory tray. You can hand tighten the
screw with washer initially but once all three leg hinges are attached to the tray, then tighten with a
Phillips head screwdriver for the screw while holding the wing nuts with your other hand.
7. Once all the hinges are attached and tightened to the accessory tray, it will look like Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-5 Figure 2-6 Figure 2-7
8. You can extend the tripod legs to the height you desire. At the lowest level the height of the 50mm
model is about 35” (89cm) and extends to about 60” (152cm). For the 80mm model, the lowest level
height is about 43” (109cm) and extends to about 72” (183cm). You unlock the tripod leg lock knobs at
the bottom of each leg (Figure 2-2) by turning them counterclockwise and pull the legs out to the
height you want and then lock the knobs securely.
9. The tripod will be the most rigid and stable at lower heights but you should adjust the height for
comfortable usage.
10. On the 80mm model you can use the holes in the accessory tray for placing additional (optional) 1.25”
eyepieces.

The telescope optical tube comes attached to the altazimuth mount. This assembly will now be attached to
the tripod which was just assembled. This is where two people come in real handy as the tripod legs are agile
and can move about easily when lining up the bolts that fit between the top of the tripod legs and through the
lower part of the mount. Images are shown using the 80mm model but the 50mm is similar unless noted.

1. Lay the tripod legs on the floor.
2. Lay the optical tube and mount between two of the tripod legs as shown in Figure 2-8.
3. The holes of the mount (near the bottom –Figure 2-9) will fit between the legs of the tripod and
attached with the bolt assembly of the tripod legs – see Figure 2-10.
4. Remove the bolt and washers from each leg assembly. Note that the 50mm does not have washers
on the inside of the tripod legs.
5. Put one ear of the mount between a tripod leg. Now, insert one of the bolts with washer through
one side of the leg and through the ear of the mount and out the other side of the leg. Make sure
all the washers are placed as they were originally on the tripod legs. Now tighten the bolts with
wrenches.
6. When all tripod leg bolt assemblies are attached to the mount, it will appear as in Figure 2-11.
