10 MICRON ARIES TRIPOD

Testar Australia is a technical assistant dealer for 10 Micron. Our staff has been trained at the 10 Micron factory to provide assistance, repairs and maintenance on their products.

Designed for the GM1000 HPS mount and the Leonardo Bino mount, the Aries tripod is the world's most rigid and most lightweight collapsible tripod.
HPS-tested* with folding dual tube upper leg design to provide maximum rigidity, it is the state of the art tripod and the best solution for your GM1000 HPS mount. Also suitable for BM1000 Leonardo binocular mounts.
Today’s electronic performance (such as very low CCD resolutions and increasing optics performance) force instrument manufacturers to improve every detail of every mechanical part: the tripod is the base of the setup and it needs to be perfect with torsions, vibration absorption, stability and so on.
These are the reasons why 10 Micron developed its own tripods: only with a tripod like Aries or Centaurus II we can assure that all the accuracy given from our seclusive systems will be maintained.

* tested to sustain the HPS-encoder accuracy
