The supporting arm of the head has an adjustable mechanism which can be adjusted 45° backwards or forwards to facilitate clearance for longer bodied telescopes, which can be especially useful when attempting observations toward the zenith. The head can also be rotated to make it easier to use for those who are left or right handed.
The Twilight I's field tripod is a foldable design with extending legs and comes with a tripod leg brace which doubles as an accessory tray. The total maximum height of the Twlight is 1.4m, when the tripod is fully extended, with the side support arm in its vertical configuration.
