AZ PRONTO (AZ3-R) stable alt-azimuth mount and tripod

The SkyWatcher AZ Pronto altazimuth mount is incredibly simple and comfortable to use. It is quick to set up, highly portable, lightweight, and compact. It provides adequately stable support and precise movement for smaller telescopes. Telescopes can be attached via a standard dovetail bar (with a single motion), and optional photo adapter plates (e.g., EQ3fft or EQshortFFT) allow you to mount cameras, spotting scopes. The key advantage is the tool-free, quick-release system for fast and hassle-free attachments. The flexible slow-motion controls enable precise adjustments, allowing smooth tracking of your target, whether near horizontal or vertical positions.

The ultra-lightweight and highly portable StarAdventurer tripod is practical, sufficiently stable, and extendable (height adjustable from 71 cm to 121 cm). With the included extension column, telescopes can be pointed to zenith (overhead position) without the tripod legs interfering. The mount head and extension column feature standard 3/8" photo threads, making them compatible with other photo tripods.

The biggest advantage of the new SkyWatcher AZ Pront mount is it's very easy handling. It is easy to set up, easy to carry, lightweight and compact mount. It gives enough stability for smaller telescopes. The tubes can be installed without tools since the mount comes with standard dovetail. With optional photo mounts (like EQ3fft or EQsortFFT) a camera or spotting scope is also mountable. With the included flexible arms the mount can be moved preisely.   The tripod is very lightweight besides that it's also stable. With the included extension tube the head can be raised to avoid a collision of the tube and the tripod. The head mounts on the tripod with regular 3/8" photo thread os it can be used with other tripods also.
