Celestron Heavy-Duty Altazimuth Tripod

Q: Can I mount the Celestron C6-A-XLT ?

If the scope dovetail is drilled and tapped for a 1/4"-20 screw, then it is possible. However, the scope weight is probably at the maximum limit of what the mount will handle. The assembly will likely be a little wobbly.

Q: Is this a solid (no vibrations) tripod for a Celestron Mak C90 mainlid used as a spotting scope?

I use it for my celestron tripod for an astronomy 25-125 zoom binoculars. The tripod is solid with fine micro adjustments and smooth movement. Only down side was no instructions on how to use the tripod, had to figure it out on my own, but it wasn't hard. Hope this helps!

Q: I want to buy it for my celestron 71020 skymaster 25-125x80 will it work fine? what is the preferable tripod for these binoculars anyway?

It depends on what you're looking at. If astronomy, then no. I tried this tripod with my Celestron 20x80 Skymasters. It sits too low and the alt/az knobs get in the way. Anything above 30 degrees is uncomfortable. Even if on the horizon, the adjustment knobs get in the way but it is more usable. If you want to look at the stars, get the Orion Paragon Plus. This mount is probably better suited for a small telescope.

Q: Does this tripod come with rubber pads at the bottom of legs for setting it up on hardwood floor?

Saw the pegs off, I did. Mine was on a wooden floor and it's wobbly and slides all over the place because of the pegs on the bottom of the legs. I got a hacksaw and carefully sawed each one off flush with the bottom and then put non-skid pads on the bottom. The tripod is about 10 times more stable now on the wood floor and I highly recommend you do the same. I am surprised the MFG does not make suggestion of this.
