The perfect tripod for travelling
The DWARFLAB mini tripod is the ideal partner for small smart telescopes up to approx. 3 kg, such as the DWARF mini or DWARF 3. At only approx. 775 g and approx. 25 cm when folded (with head attached), it fits into any rucksack and sets up in moments. The five-section aluminium legs extend smoothly to a height of 53 cm.
Hydraulic head for precise positioning
The hydraulically damped head moves smoothly and without jerking, and holds the telescope securely in any position. It pans through 360° and tilts from +90° to -75°. Thanks to the quick-release plate with 1/4" screw, the telescope can be mounted and removed in seconds.
Alt-azimuth or equatorial (EQ mode)
In normal use the smart telescope stands level on the tripod. For longer exposures, the head can be tilted to align the telescope equatorially with the celestial pole (EQ mode). The DWARFLAB app guides you through the alignment step by step. On the DWARF mini in particular, long exposures of up to 90 seconds are only possible in EQ mode – which requires a tilting tripod like this one.
!!! SAFETY WARNING: When the smart telescope is tilted (e.g. in EQ mode), one tripod leg must be directly beneath the tilted telescope. If the tilt points into the gap between two legs, the centre of gravity shifts outwards and the tripod can tip over together with the telescope!
Good to know
- With a maximum height of 53 cm, the mini tripod is a table-top tripod. It is rather low for setting up directly on the ground – on a table, wall or garden chair it is ideal.
- The 3 kg load capacity is sufficient for small smart telescopes such as the DWARF mini (840 g) or DWARF 3 (1.3 kg). It is not suitable for heavier devices such as the DWARFLAB Draco (5.5 kg).
- If you want more stability – for example in wind or for very long imaging sessions – choose a slightly larger tripod. We are happy to advise you.
- For a stable setup, extend the legs as little as possible and use firm ground – otherwise wind and vibration will show in long exposures.
- Tip: the mini tripod can be attached underneath the DWARF mini bag using its two loops.
