[. . . ] Orion RockStableTM Anti-Vibration Pads Reflective decals Visco-elastic material "Feet" Center of tripod Figure 2a. Place the pad under the tripod leg with one "foot" facing the center of the tripod. Figure 2b. [. . . ] RockStable anti-vibration pads (Figure 1) can be used with any telescope tripod or camera tripod, large or small. They will work on any flat surface: gravel, grass, dirt, asphalt, wood, and concrete. RockStable anti-vibration pads will not reduce vibrations caused by poorly engineered mounts or tripod heads. If other significant vibrations persist when using these pads, there may be other mechanical problems with your mount. If your tripod has rubber ends on the bottom of its legs, remove them. Lift one tripod leg about 3" off the ground and place an antivibration pad under the leg. Make certain that one "foot" of the anti-vibration pad faces the center of the tripod. Using the Round Reflective Decals Your RockStable anti-vibration pads come with a sheet of small, round reflective decals. These decals should be applied to the pads before the pads are used for observing. These reflective decals will increase the visibility of the tripod legs under dark skies, making it easier to avoid inadvertently bumping into them. The decals will also help you easily locate and retrieve the pads when your observing session is finished. Cleaning the RockStable Anti-Vibration Pads You can clean all parts of the RockStable anti-vibration pads with a mild dish detergent.
