Title: Great telescope( ( ETX-60AT ), absolutely lousy tripod.
Product review: I purchased an ATX-60At telescope for my wife about 1 year ago. I purchased a tripod 3 months later.The tabs securing the height of the legs broke that evening. I took it back to the Meade dealer for a replacement.Before taking this second tripod home I asked the dealer to try the securing tabs to make sure they are O.K. All 3 tabs broke as the dealer tested it in the store in front of me and other customers.My wife's telescope has had little use since. What a sad story. Meade should be ashamed of how they foist a telescope ( Albeit a good one) on people and then it becomes a dust gatherer because the tripods are useless!Hopefully Meade is working on a replacement solution so buyers can feel good about the telescope they purchase.Ted Pokorski,Kalamazoo, MI
