The Helium 200 provides a stable platform for your equipment, with a maximum payload capacity of 90 kg (200 lb.)when the legs are fully extended, or up to 113 kg (250 lb.) when the legs are fully retracted.

It allows comfortable eyepiece placement with an adjustable height range from 61 cm (24 in.) to 102 cm (40 in.).Weighing only 6.4 kg (14 lb.), the Helium 200 is ultra-portable and lightweight, making it easy to transport and set up in the field.

Simple and intelligent mechanics allow the legs to be expanded or collapsed in seconds, while still delivering excellent stability at all heights.

The top plate rotates 360 degrees, making polar alignment in azimuth quick and hassle free.

A wide range of coarse levelling adjustments helps accommodate gently sloping surfaces, while fine level adjustments make it easy to achieve accurate levelling.

Swivelling feet can be fitted with spikes or other third-party tripod feet, depending on your observing surface, such as grass, timber decking, concrete or gravel.

A built-in bubble level helps you quickly get the top plate horizontal.

The tripod features 6061 aluminium legs with a red anodised finish, along with black anodised aluminium structural components, including the top plate and feet.

A large tray between the legs provides a convenient place to store eyepieces and other accessories during an observing or imaging session.

The Helium 200 also accepts many off-the-shelf tripod feet, including spikes and wide rubber pads, helping optimise stability on different surfaces.

The result is an exceptionally stable and portable imaging platform that can be quickly set up, levelled, polar aligned and packed down at the end of the night.
