AZ-4 single arm alt-azimuth mount on aluminium tripod

The AZ4 provides the flexibility that can be expected from an azimuthal mount, ideal for both astronomical and daytime use.

Easy to carry, no counterweights are needed and is very robust.

The telescope mounted can be balanced easily. The flexible handles can removed and reattached on the other side, meaning that the mount can be used easily for both refracting and reflecting telescopes. The arm is tilted in 45 degrees, which makes it possible to observe objects around zenith even with instruments up to 180mm in diameter.

The tripod under the mount head can be a 65mm aluminium or the heavier but more robust 45mm steel tripod (the latter one is the same sold with HEQ5 mounts).
