If you're looking for a simple yet capable, sturdy, and portable manual mount, the Explore Scientific Twilight I Mount & Tripod delivers! Using powder coated aluminum for the mount head and tripod and layering in stainless steel for the adjustable leg segments, this kit gives you a platform that is robust while only weighing in at around 18 lb. fully assembled; which can easily be disassembled into just the mount head and tripod for enhanced transportability. This design isn't just portable—it's also efficient, supporting up to 18 lb. of equipment for a 1:1 payload to weight ratio! This is perfect for a variety of excellent refractors, and even some more compact reflector systems. To support longer optical systems, the Twilight I can be used with the arm at the standard 90° or a 45° that provides additional clearance for long tubes and steep viewing angles. Walking your optics across the night sky is a smooth and controlled experience thanks to the slow motion control knobs! With these flexible adjustments connected you can follow along with the incredible wonders of our night sky, keeping your celestial target in view without needing to take your eye away from your celestial object of choice.
