A steady, adjustable stand for the Galileoscope
The Explore Scientific Galileoscope Tripod is a lightweight tripod made for the Galileoscope 50mm telescope kit. Its legs convert from a tabletop stand to full height, so it works on a picnic table, a classroom desk or standing in the backyard. The telescope attaches with one large knob, and a pan handle lets you move it smoothly to find and follow the Moon, planets and star clusters. It weighs about 0.6kg (1.3lb) with packaging.

Why it helps
- Steady views: at 25x and 50x even small hand movements make the image shake. A tripod holds the telescope still so students can actually see detail.
- Tabletop or standing: short legs suit kids at a table; extended legs suit standing adults.
- Easy aiming: the pan handle gives smooth, controlled movement for following objects as the sky turns.
What to add
- The telescope (required): the Galileoscope 50mm Refractor Telescope STEM Kit.
What's in the box
- Galileoscope tripod with mount head and pan handle
The Galileoscope telescope is sold separately.
Galileoscope Tripod FAQ
Does it come with the telescope?
No. The tripod is sold separately from the Galileoscope kit.
Can a child use it?
Yes. In tabletop mode it puts the eyepiece at a comfortable height for kids sitting at a table.
Will it hold other telescopes?
It's designed and sized for the Galileoscope. For heavier telescopes, ask us about a sturdier mount.
