Well designed and built. For casual observing and ease of set-up, this mount is ideal. Fixed onto a Manfrotto tripod stability is fine with a small refractor telescope. Perfect for nights when you don't have much time for set-up. (06/03/2023) Neil Clarke -

The AZ5 head arrived very quickly, well packed, very reasonable postal charges. The Head was fixed onto a Skywatcher pillar and Celestron metal legs.Both scopes easily moved slow motion works well (08/12/2017) Mark Chamberlain - Hereford
