The 10Micron HERCULES tripod is designed for the GM1000 / AZ1000 mount family. Its manufacturer table specifies 12 kg tripod weight, an operating height range of 950–1100 mm, and a 80 kg tripod support rating.
The construction uses protectively treated beech wood; anodised aluminium extensions. The adjustment arrangement is extendible legs; reversible rubber/aluminium tips, providing levelling and height adjustment at the observing site.
The support rating applies to the tripod’s complete supported load, including the mount head and counterweights as well as instrumentation. It is separate from the mount’s own telescope capacity. Use the native interface or a manufacturer-approved adapter for a different mount.
A 10Micron padded transport bag and accessory tray are included. Mount, counterweights and telescope are separate equipment.
