Vixen Telescope ASG-CB90 Carbon Tripod Description

A lightweight carbon tripod with high durability.
The ASG-CB90 is a compact and lightweight tripod designed primarily for using with an AXJ mount. Both high degree of durability and lightweightness were required for the ASG-CB90 tripod in order to make the most use of portability of the AXJ mount. Based on experience at developping our lightweight APP-TL130 tripod, strong and lightweight pipe legs made of carbon fiber have been adopted. Also, every movable part on the legs and the tripod head have been reviewed throughoutly for achieving a highly stable tripod for serious celestial observer with the AXJ mount.
