For anything more than casual use you need a tripod that's very stable, strong enough to
withstand some serious abuse, and yet moves with fluid smoothness. Our Paragon
professional tripods fill the bill, providing heavy-duty support for giant binoculars, cameras,
spotting scopes, and scopes such as the Orion ShortTube 80, Apex 90, 102 and 127,
GrandView, Arcadia, and Resolux and GiantView binoculars.

The Paragon-Plus XHD tripod is constructed almost exclusively of aluminum, making it
stronger at key stress points where other tripods fail. It features large, adjustable aluminum-
tube legs with ridged helical locks. The legs are tri-braced to the center elevator housing for
extra stability. The tripod is tall when fully extended, putting binoculars easily at eye level for
most people.

This extra heavy-duty tripod holds heavier loads. Tube legs 1-1/4" max. dia.; each leg laterally
braced with dual 3/4" aluminum tubes. Elevator shaft 1-1/8" dia., 11-3/4" travel. Height fully
extended 67"; folds to 34". Weighs 9 lbs.

The Paragon-Plus XHD tripod comes with a two-way fluid-type pan head. It features tension
adjustment knobs on both axes for wonderfully smooth, controlled motion. The pan head can
be raised or lowered on its aluminum rack-and-pinion elevator post with a hinged hand crank.
Panning is easy with the 11"-long adjustable handle. The quick-release 1/4"-20 dovetail shoe
makes attaching and detaching your instrument from the pan head a snap. Other nice
features include convertible cushion/spike feet and built-in bubble level.
