Anyone know where I can find a tripod that will accept this mount? I had to take the mount off of the tripod I had for a move, and they got separated somehow. I haven't been able to find the tripod...

Just from what I know, I may be wrong, but the tracker is made to specifically fit the tripod that comes with it. I think the best option would be to get the same tripod you got that came with the tracker. But of course once you do that you will immediately find your lost tripod.

Thanks @gaunt hearth, but I haven't been able to find just the tripod on the market. It came as part of a package with a 6" scope about 20-years ago.

I'm thinking that if I can't find something on the market, I'm going to use the base from an alt-azimuth mount to make a mold, and then try sand casting one in aluminum, then modify the hole in the bottom to accept this mount.

If it works, I'm in business, if not, I'll have learned something from the effort.
