New AZ Pronto Mount & Tripod.
The Sky-Watcher AZ PRONTO is a new lightweight, highly portable Alt-Azimuth mount for easy no fuss, grab-and-go astronomy.
Constructed from cast aluminium, designed to attach small telescopes up to 3kg in weight fitted with a regular 45mm dovetail bar.
The aluminium tripod legs can be extended and clamped in any position via integral leg locks.
Supplied with two flexible slow-motion cables, one for vertical and one for horizontal smooth fine motion control. The cables can be positioned in two different positions on each axis, making it convenient to control both refractor and reflector telescopes.
The mount can also be moved around each axis manually, for rapid panning and elevation adjustments, so tracking moving targets manually is easy.
Suitable for both terrestrial observations and stargazing.
