The new "Helium" tripod from SoftwareBisque was not named so without reason: despite its load capacity and extremely robust, stable design, it is very light - the complete tripod weighs only 6.5 kilograms. In the field of heavyweight, large and extremely resilient SoftwareBisque tripods & mounts, it is therefore a lightweight - as light as the gas helium.
The "Helium" tripod can do even more: it can carry up to 90 kg of payload – a value that will probably never be reached by the optics of most amateur astronomers. Unbeatable load capacity!
Furthermore, like all SoftwareBisque products, it is designed for extreme loads and robust use. Nothing wobbles, everything fits together perfectly, is easy to operate and ready for use in the toughest conditions. The tripod can be extended to a comfortable height of 102 cm. The legs are also ideally designed for sloping terrain thanks to their additional angled support points. The tripod can therefore be set up anywhere in a matter of minutes and does not lose its rigidity or load capacity even on uneven ground.
All advantages at a glance:
- Load capacity up to 90 kg
- Adjustable range between 60 and 102 cm
- Ultra-lightweight and mobile with a total weight of only 6.5 kg
- Simple and well thought-out design allows assembly in just a few minutes
- Extreme stability and rigidity
- Also ideal for uneven terrain
- Built-in spirit levels
- 360° adjustment range in azimuth
Our expert comment:
The "Helium" tripod is suitable for the SoftwareBisque mounts "MyT" and "MX". Therefore, there are two different adapter plates for mounting the mount on the tripod head. Please be sure to specify when ordering whether you want to use a SoftwareBisque "MyT" or "MX" mount. This is the only way to ensure that the correct adapter plate from SoftwareBisque is manufactured and supplied.
