TS-Optics AZ5 Alt-azimuthal Mount with tripod and fine adjustment

The AZ5 offers features not available with other alt-azimuthal mounts. Attach heavy telescopes to the mount and enjoy the precise fine adjustment in both axes. The mount is also sold as SKYTEE, among other names.

The TSAZ5 can accommodate two different instruments in parallel. Of course, both ones will take part in all turns. Thus you can attach the main instrument to the main axis and binoculars or a finder to the 90° offset side axis. If the second instrument is a bit heavier, change the position of the counterweight shaft and gain perfect balance. All counterweights with 20 mm bores (Vixen, Meade, Skywatcher ...) fit, but they should not have a diameter which is to big.
