The simplest type of mount is the altazimuth version. It has two perpendicular axes of motion, vertical (altitude) and horizontal (azimuth), because they are easy to use and cost less than equatorial mounts. Altazimuth mounts are ideal for smaller telescopes. This mount is also an ideal choice for terrestrial observing with refractor scopes.

These dual axis motor drives, designed for EQ3-2 and EQ5 mounts, are essential in long-exposure astrophotography. They precisely control the telescope's tracking speed to compensate for the earth's rotation during long exposure of celestial objects. Available in 2x, 4x, and 8x speeds through the Hand Controller. These DC motor drives run on 4 "D" cell batteries (not included). Motors for both axes, clutches, cables, hand controller, and battery case are included.

Variable Height 32 inches to 52 inches. Weight 6kg approx.

This Field tripod now comes with all Skyview 80 and larger size Refractor telescopes. It is excellent for Reflector from 100 mm to 200 mm telescopes.

Professional-Quality. This tripod is built to meet the demanding durability required for professional viewing and photography. Whether your interest is photography, nature observation with a spotting scope or celestial seeing, you will get a solid support with this newly designed field tripod.

An ideal platform for heavier instruments or when adjustable height is not needed. The extra stability it provides makes it especially useful for astrophotography and scopes used for public use. The heavy-duty metal column is anchored with three wide spread leg struts. Leg struts can be removed quickly with a twist of bolts. Pier comes in two-size 4-ft height (in two parts) for Refractors and 2.5 ft height (in one part) for reflectors.

Indulge your interest in daytime observing or nighttime stargazing without setting circles, latitude scales, or polar alignment. The MT32 metal tripod makes observing easy and natural. Any of the Heavy duty Altazimuth mount (our product) can be attached along with your spotting scope or telescope. Sturdy metal tripod adjusts the height upto 3-ft.

We have been wanting ( and may be you have, too) a lightweight tripod hat folds up really small, but that isn't flimsy as a wet noodle when set up. And now we have got it. Offering surprising rigidity, our PMS16 provides ample support for 50mm Binoculars, small spotting scopes, and Cameras. Its unique design mono-pod with tringular base, will stand on any uneven surface. Comes very handy when you are looking for a camera support while taking those self timer snaps. Best of all, it has height adjustments upto 20".Fully metal construction, with universal pan and tilt head, fits in your bag without taking much space.

Not all tripods are created equal. Some can be bulky and heavy, others spindly and unstable. PMMT36 is neither. It is just right, fills the need for portability without sacrificing the strength. From its metal closed legs, to its adjustable height rods, PMMT36 is well suited for almost any viewing or photographic situation. Mount your field glass, spotting scope, or camera, it locks in tight with no play. The elevator rod adjust the head up or down to desired height. Fine finish and with universal pan and title head. Adjustable height upto 40 inch and collapse to less than 20 inch. A good choice when portability is critical.

For anything more than casual use, you need a tripod that's very stable, strong enough to withstand some serious abuse and yet moves with fluid smoothness. Our PMT60 professional tripod fill the bill, providing heavy duty support for giant binoculars, cameras, spotting scopes and telescopes. The PMT60 is constructed exclusively of metal, making it stronger at key stress points where other tripods fail. The large adjustable tube legs with rubber padding allows firm grip on any surface. The height adjusts upto 60inches, putting binoculars and telescopes at eye level for most people.

The heavy-duty EQ3 mount features 360 degree worm-gear tracking controls on both axes, large knob-style R.A. and Dec. lock bolts, dual metal setting circle dials, a latitude adjustment screw, and a built-in polar scope holder. It can be fitted with both single and double axis motor drive for auto-tracking.

These single axis (R.A.) DC motor drives are powered by 4 "D" cell batteries (not included). A set of batteries with allow several nights of observing. 2x and 8x tracking speeds are available through the hand controller. Motor, hand controller, and battery case are included.

This quality equatorial mount is built with larger mount head for greater stability and tracking precision. The convenient dual setting circles allow observers to locate the objects by setting the R.A. and Dec. coordinates. The heavier EQ2 mount rests firmly on an adjustable-height aluminum tripod with large wall-to-wall accessory tray and central stabilizer. The EQ2 can be fitted with single axis motor drive (Optional) for hand-free tracking.
