Glossary | Telescope accessories | Capacity | Type | Vibration damper
Stable support pads for the tripod. Ideal for vibrating surfaces such as a patio with a timber floor.
These pads suppress vibrations transmitted to the telescope through the tripod legs; for example by people moving around close to your telescope. But also vibrations arising from the telescope tube itself are quickly absorbed. These include, for example, resonance generated by wind or just focusing.
The effect of the vibration dampers: your telescope is much more steady and more stable!
