Does Anyone Tried To Use The Seastar With This Tripod? And How To Use With It?

Bill Meador:
Most likely the base of the Seestar is dragging/jammed against the top ring of the tripod.  I use the same tripod, but only with a leveler between the units and have never encountered an issue.  If you look closely at the tripod that came with the Seestar, it has a small rubberized washer that fits between the top of the tripod and the base of the unit preventing it from snugging up against the metal platform of the tripod...........the star adventure has no such shim.  If you so no have or want to use a leveler, you might try using a 1-2" felt washer so that when you tighten the unit to the tripod there is a small gap between the tripod base ring and the Seestar.

So it doesn't need to be too fixed on the tripod too much?
Do you need to only fix the telescope enough to give some space for it to move around?

It needs to be tight (but yes not too tight such as to cause binding), the idea is to not allow wobble as it swivels around or make it subject to unnecessary vibrations.  If you look at the bottom of the telescope you'll see that there is a circular area around the mounting hole that matches the rubber grommet on the tripod that came with it.  This is the pivot ring for the scope to spin on for horizontal movement………..the rubber grommet on the tripod gives the rest of the housing clearance to rotate, that is what you can achieve with a thin rubber or felt grommet (rubber or even plastic preferred as it won't compress as much as felt) on the Star Adventurer tripod if you do not have a leveling base (which by the way also has a rubber grommet around the mounting screw).
