The AZTech heavy duty anti-vibration wooden tripod with slow-motion altazimuth head.

The AZTech is an ideal mount for the sophisticated spotting scope user and perfect for grab-&-go astronomy with smaller telescopes (ideal for use with Coronardo PST and other solar scopes).

Dual axis worm & gear slow motions

The AZTech is a universal altazimuth mounting system with worm and gear hand-operated slow motions on both the azimuth and altitude axis. The mounting is fitted to a variable-height black hardwood tripod (fully adjustable from a minimum height of 91cm [36"] to a maximum height of 140cm [55"]).

A metal combined leg stabiliser and eyepiece tray ensures the rigidity of the tripod. The leg stabiliser simply clips into position - no nuts and bolts to fiddle with and risk losing!

Extended flexible control handles

The precision worm and gear sets offer smooth tracking on both axis even at high magnifications, and are supplied with extended flexible control handles.

Mini-dovetail instrument connection

The CNC manufactured mini-dovetail telescope mounting plate has been specifically designed to fit the base of the Coronado Personal Solar Telescope, but can be used with a wide variety of small telescopes provided that they have a 1/4" Whitworth tripod fitting.

Supplied complete with mini-dovetail plate for PST and other scopes, wooden tripod, eyepiece tray and extended flexible drive handles.
