Suppress unwanted vibrations that can plague a telescope-tripod assembly, such as ground-based vibrations or accidental contact by an observer, with a set of Vibration Isolation Pads. After placing one tripod leg in the center of each pad, vibrations lasting as long as seven or eight seconds down to less than one second are reduced or completely eliminated. The Vibration Isolation Pads work effectively on any type of stable surface, such as concrete, soil, tile or grass. Each set includes three pads.
