Practical tool tray with magnetic holder.

The resistance of the slip clutch is adjustable and so can be adapted to optics of different weights.

Customer reviews

Good yet expensive mount for grab-and-go

( 4 / 5 )

The main advantages of this mount are ease of use, portability and light weight. Perfect for grab-and-go observing with small, light telescopes.

Stability is roughly the same as the Porta mount with aluminium tripod, but the APP-TL130 tripod is easier to move around despite being slightly heavier.

Stability is acceptable with a small refractor like the A80mf (f/11.3) or typical 80 mm ED (f/7.5-ish) scopes. Stability is however completely unacceptable with ED100 f/9 scopes despite being within rated weight limits.
