The Ideal No Fuss, Grab-and-Go Telescope Mount for easy visual astronomy as well as daytime terrestrial observations!! The elegant and well engineered Sky-Watcher AZ5 is a lightweight, highly portable Alt-Azimuth mount constructed from cast aluminium, designed to attach telescopes up to 5kg in weight, fitted with a 45mm standard dovetail bar. The aluminium telescopic tripod legs can be extended and clamped in any position using the integral leg locks. Supplied with two flexible slow-motion cables for both axes and extends to 158cm tall.
The mount can also be moved manually around each axis, for rapid panning and elevation adjustments. Accurately tracks distant moving objects with ease. A superb grab-and-go mounting suitable for both terrestrial observations and astronomical viewing.
Please note - these mounts use the 3/8" thread to attach to tripods so are not compatible with standard telescope tripods.

Customer Reviews 
AZ5 Deluxe Mount I am very happy with the great mount it is so light to move about a very good grab and go (24/08/2018) David Edwards - Shropshire
A great grab and go mount and tripod for observing Bought this as a grab and go mount for my ED80 and also to use the tripod for my star adventurer. It fits the bill perfectly but as I expected the tripod needs a bit of extra help with a central weight under the tray. This isn't a big deal and really only needed with the legs extended. Great value! (04/08/2017) Andy T - Worcestershire
