The CM106 is an adjustable tripod made of galvanized steel tubing. It is adjustable from 7 to 10 ft, so it replaces the 6 ft CM6 and the 10 ft CM10. It is also lighter than those tripods because it is made with tubing and they are made with pipe. The CM106 is a general purpose tripod that can be used for mounting sensors, solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures.
