Azimuthal mechanics, such as the new AZ Pronto from SkyWatcher are the first choice of amateur astronomers when maximum portability is the goal. It is also recommended for those looking for a stable and smoothly moving mount for nature observation. The mechanics have a load capacity of about 3 kg
The mechanics head allows for flexible manual fine movement on both axes using finomechanical levers. The head has a Vixen-compatible prismatic rail mount, with a standard 3/8" thread on the bottom for mounting on top of more serious photo tripods.
The tripod is lightweight, yet stable enough to adjust to your height. It has a maximum height of 150 cm, which can be increased by a further 21.5 cm with the help of an additional column extension, and several column extensions can be attached to each other!
