Get our best new M002C mount head with heavy duty column and a heavy-duty, stainless-steel tripod. This is the newest, ultra-smooth grab-and-go set-up for our 80 mm - 130 mm refractors.

The heavy-duty stainless-steel tripod has an underside brace that holds eyepieces. The tripod by itself weighs 16 pounds but has a large capacity. The attachment bolt is M12 x 1.75. Both the column and the mount head are precision-made in the USA. The head now includes precision-ground stainless shafts, stainless steel roller bearings, and a big 3" Teflon bearing on each axis.

With the M002C mount head (with dual Vixen and Losmandy style shoe) and the MEC012 column attached, the telescope will sit 42" - 64" high when positioned horizontally, depending on how far the tripods legs are extended. The complete mounting set-up will hold a 25-pound telescope.

The total weight for the tripod, column, and mount head together is 24.4 pounds.

(Mount: 4 lbs, Column/Base Adapter: 2.4 lbs, Tripod: 16 lbs)
