Great product! Easily fits my Quikset Samson tripod. Firmly carries my Celestron 6-inch CR 150 HD refractor. Once balanced, easily moves without the need for all-no controls. May install a DSC & encoders.

Sturdy Mount
Really well built and solid mount. I bought this for a 102mm f/7 refractor and the M2C barely notices it’s there.FWIW, the recommended encoders from Astro Devices was an easy 10 minute installation.
Thank you Doug and thanks for the endorsement of the encoders! Enjoy the views!

M2C - Fantastic mount!
This is amazing and fantastic mount for a telescope! It's super solid and built like a tank. The motions of the altitude and azimuth bearings are incredibly smooth and the tension is very easily adjusted. It's a weird feeling not having to counter balance with weights like a traditional mount. I am very, very happy with this product!

Excellent mount! Nicely machined, smooth as silk in both axes, and feels very solid. This will be the perfect travel mount on my Berlebach Report 312 tripod. The recommended encoders from Astro Devices was a 10 minute installation.
Well done, StellarVue!

Incredible mount
I needed an Alt Az mount for my 100mm refractor and my 6" f/5 reflector. This mount far exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly solid and well build. Another great product by Stellarvue!

Solid Mount
I am running a 140 mm Apo Refractor on this with a weight of 21lbs and it glides like butter.The load limit of this mount is 25 lbs, so don't worry about failure if you get close to that weight. It is made for it.

Exceeded my high expectations
I have the M150 and a nova mini-hitch, but needed something in between. This is perfect. Holds my 80mm and 104mm f/11 perfectly. I haven't tried my c8 yet, but I imagine that would be no problem either. With the extention it makes for a very portable setup that can handle several of my scopes easily. I've always struggled with the "grab and go" stuff (that I put together) because it was either too heavy or too flimsy. This is just right. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great Mount!
This is a sturdy, very well made alt-az mount. I’ve attached it to my cgem tripod with the extension column and it is rock solid. The gears are incredibly smooth, making this mount a pleasure to use!

M2C Mount Exceeds Expectations
A well made, solid unit. Bigger and heavier than I expected, but rugged and built to last. It glides effortlessly with no spring back when you guide to a new location. I have another manual alt-az mount from a different manufacturer that is smaller, but I like this one better.

Solid mount
Just got my Stellarvue M2 mount and first off, it's a lot bigger and beefier than I expected. It's quite solid and has some weight to it. I put it on my photo tripod along with my Stellarvue Access 80 refractor. Once the scope is balanced, the motions are very smooth and the large tension knobs work great. While I won't ever tax this mount to its limit of around 20lbs, it's a great way to set up a grab-n-go scope without all the complication of an EQ or GoTo mount.
