AZ3 Mount & Tripod Description
The Sky-Watcher AZ3 Mount is the perfect companion to smaller telescopes, large spotting scopes, binoculars and cameras. It’s an excellent platform for mounting observing devices.
Durability and Reliability
Sky-Watcher uses only high quality components and materials in their mounts. This ensures that you get the most stable viewing platform within the prescribed payload. This is important for an Alt-Azimuth mount since it can be moved in all axes.
Smooth and Precise Slewing
The mount is engineered to strict parameters to produce very precise and smooth movements. This significantly reduces the vibrations caused by manually adjusting the position of the tube making the entire viewing experience much more pleasant.
Fine Adjustment Knobs
The altitude and azimuth adjustment knobs are a great advantage for moving your optics at high magnifications. While standard photographic tripods allow rough movements that make framing particularly difficult, these two flexible knobs allow fine regulation.
