The saxon AZ5 mount with Steel Tripod is a light but heavy duty alt-azimuth mount. It is designed to carry small and medium sized telescopes and spotting scopes up to 8kgs. This portable mount is made of powder-coated aluminium and with smooth worm gears on both altitude and azimuth axes.

The adjustable arm can be tilted to multiple angles (45°, 90° & 135°), allowing you to use your telescope in different ways (e.g. observing at the zenith). Slow-motion controls come in both axes, which assist in fine tuning and keeping track of targeted objects.

An allen key is provided and stored behind the fork arm with a magnet. Adjustments to the mount are easy and hassle-free as the allen key is easily accessible and safely stored with the mount.

The adjustable steel tripod legs can be adjusted from 70cm to 130cm (excluding the height of the mount). The provided accessory tray not only keeps your eyepiece(s) in place but also secures the tripod legs to enhance the stability of the mount and minimise the impact of surrounding vibrations.

The hollow section of the arm allows for easy carrying and, weighing just 7kgs, makes for an incredibly portable mount.

The Helium ME400 Red Tripod is ideal for portable Paramount use and is available for the Paramount MEII and ME6 models:

• Provides a stable platform for all your equipment
  • Helium ME400 has a maximum payload capacity of 180 kg when the legs are fully extended, or up to 227 kg capacity when the legs are fully retracted
  • Allows eyepiece placement at a convenient height with an adjustable height range Helium ME400 from 61cm to 100 cm.
• The ultra-portable and lightweight design weighs in at 14kg

Helium MX400 Features

• Simple and intelligent mechanics permit the legs to be expanded or collapsed in seconds and produce exceptional stability at all heights
• The top plate rotates 360 degrees for hassle-free polar alignment in azimuth.
• A wide range of coarse leveling adjustments can accommodate gently sloping surfaces.
• Fine-level adjustments help achieve the optimal level
• Swiveling feet can be fit with spikes or other third-party commercial tripod feet based on your observing site (grass, wood, concrete, gravel, etc.)
• Built-in bubble level helps quickly get the top plate horizontal.
• The 6061 aluminum tripod legs are red anodized with black anodized aluminum structural components (top plate, feet, etc.)
• Large tray between the legs conveniently stows your eyepieces and other equipment
• Legs accept many off-the-shelf tripod feet (including spikes, and wide rubber pads) to optimize coupling to the observing surface

The result of these innovative features is an exceptionally stable and readily portable imaging platform that can be quickly set up on any surface, leveled and aligned with the celestial pole, and easily taken down each night.
