Does the Skywatcher star adventure 2I come with a tripod or do you have to buy it separately?

I would've said you have to buy a separate tripod if it doesn't show it on amazon

oh ok

#

could you suggest a tripod for it?

dapper sun
#

I'm not a pro with tripods, there are other people who would be better with answering that

#

It also depends on your budget

I just got a "Innorel" Carbon fiber tripod off Amazon for $150, it's AMAZING and fits in a carry-on. Highly recommend if you ever plan on hiking or flying with your mount. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09BCT83BK/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

#

It can also work on something much cheaper, as long as the head is removable. Just beware of the shakiness in wind

#

Innorel also has a range of better tripods if you want something that could accommodate a future upgrade (such as the tripod I linked). They also have cheaper CF Tripods for like $100, but I didn't feel they were quite strong enough for swinging around a counterweight in moderate winds.

#

If you want something cheaper, aluminum is your best bet. This $45 tripod is mostlikly fine, as the head comes off. https://neewer.com/products/tripods-66600041

The quick-release mounting plate helps ensure fast transitions between shots. The legs are a 4-segment interlocking crutch-type design. The center column design with a hook can be attached to the sandbag to increase stability. The carrying bag is large enough for convenience.

Once again there is the 3 options, pick 2 game. Cheap, Stable, Portable.

Cheap + Portable, Neewer linked above
relatively Cheap + Stable, SW tripod
Stable + Portable, CF tripod
