Tripod Star

Instrument Safety on Hard Surfaces – Why Use a Tripod Star?

Setting up a heavy tripod on smooth concrete, marble, or asphalt carries significant risk. Even minor vibrations caused by nearby movement can lead to a micro-slip of the tripod legs. At best, this ruins your measurement; at worst, it leads to a costly equipment failure.

Key Features of Our Tripod Star:

• Universal Recesses: Each arm of the star features a specialized recess or hole designed to securely seat the tripod tips. This ensures the legs are held at a constant distance from each other.

• Anti-Slip Finish: The bases of our tripod stars are equipped with high-friction rubber pads. They guarantee grip even on polished floors while protecting the surface from being scratched by the sharp steel points.

• Robust Construction: We offer models made of durable aluminum profiles or heavy-duty steel. Most stars feature a central hinge, allowing them to be folded instantly for easy transport.

• Adjustment and Stability: Advanced models include rubber tensioners or chains that further brace the tripod feet, creating an exceptionally rigid structure resistant to vibrations from machinery operating within industrial halls.

Whether you are performing indoor architectural as-builts or setting out machinery in a factory, a tripod star is the most affordable and effective insurance policy for your instrument.
