Since 1981, Scott Losmandy has produced high-quality American-made equatorial mounts. The GM811G is our recommendation for customers who want to image with a portable, lightweight mount for Stellarvue telescopes 130 mm and smaller. This mount comes with a lightweight tripod which allows you to easily transport your mount and tripod in manageable pieces. If you plan to upgrade to a 130 mm in the future, we recommend the optional heavy duty folding tripod upgrade for maximum stability. These mounts come with the latest Series 6 upgrades.
