• Tough, but light metal frame, with a tray that holds your eyepieces and adds further stability to the tripod for steady viewing
• Extendable tripod so you can adjust it to your preferred height as required
• Suitable for light telescopes

How does it work?  

• The KSON improved Alt-Azimuth TRACKER mount – has a modern, clever design and operates intuitively.
• The Tracker mount features simultaneous slow motion altitude and azimuth adjustments enabling precision micro vertical and horizontal manual tracking and rests on top of KSON sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod.
• The mount is equipped with a built-in level bubble.
• Flexible handle micromovements allow you to move the tube evenly and smoothly as possible (it is valuable not only in search of objects, but also for tracking celestial bodies).
• Reinforced metal tripod ensures a stable position of the telescope and confident damping vibrations, so that when you move the optical tube assembly, any movement is minimised.
• The tripod also features an accessory tray with slots to place 4 1.25″eyepieces or lenses and retractable rubber feet.  The track is easy to ‘drop in’ and is tightened with thumb screws.  Very easy to do.

Recent Customer Review:

“The tripod is very stable when the spreader tray is fitted. The mount was a little stiff but some judicious lubrication with a silicone grease has freed it up well and both Alt and Az fine adjustments are now quite smooth.  I mainly use the mount for a 70/420 refractor… it is now a joy to use. I purchased a dovetail with the mount so this little telescope fits.  The AZ2 mount is only intended for lighter weight OTAs but with some trepidation I mounted my S-W 127Mak on to it. The pay load would have been in the order of 4.3kg. The mount and tripod remained stable and the fine adjustments still gave a smooth performance. The damping time was longer than preferable but viewing was still acceptable. I was able to use magnifications exceeding 150x. I have noted that one of the limits on magnification is not the optics but the stability of the mount. Whilst I would not suggest loading this AZ2 mount to the extent I have, it does speak volumes for the tripod and mount that it handles it”. – Ian
