 What I needed December 2, 2007
It worked out very well for me to have this in order to mount my telescope on something on which I could rely. I will be using this for many years to come.
good basic tripod for good basic scope December 30, 2002

I have had this tripod for a year and have been very pleased with it. I have used it in my back yard, in a field, and at the beach, and I have found it to be sturdy enough for my AT60 telescope. I thought at first it felt too light to be sturdy, but that has not been a problem. The snap-on shelf for eyepieces and such made me nervous, too, that it would break in the process, but again, after a year's use it is just fine. The holes for the bolts to attach the scope are a little hard to get to at first, but once found the bolts go in without difficulty. More advanced observers may have reason to complain that I don't know yet, but this tripod meets my needs just fine.
Above Average Telescope, [bad] Tripod December 17, 2002

I have to agree with other users of the Meade standard field tripod #882 I didn't have mine two weeks before it went in the closet because of broken adjusters. I have looked/called for nearly a year for replacements/repairs. NADA. Meade won't touch it because of " misuse". The AT70 I purchased with the tripod is a great beginners scope and nice features, but the tripod was a total disappointment. I think I'll try another brand when I get apetrure fever, or at least find a decent tripod before I purchase the telescope.

I have had the #882 little more than a year and 1 leg adjusting tab has broken off and 1 of the other 2 is cracked.

I have had this tripod for three years, bought it as a present for my husband. We have never had any of the troubles noted in other reviews. Nothing breaks and it is easy to adjust the legs and move it around. It is a good tripod for beginners and adults to use with a Polaris telescope.
