- Coarse motion (friction bearing) and 360-deg slow motion controls (worm gears) on both axes.
- Quick-release standard Vixen/Synta-style dovetail head allows attachment of a wide variety of telescopes (binoculars and spotting scopes will requires the use of a suitable L-bracket (not included).
- Adjustable height aluminium field tripod allows total mount height to be adjusted from 35" / 90cm to 51" / 130cm.

- Mount arm (shown vertical in photo above) can be oriented at a 45-deg angle on either side as well. The vertical postion works well for short telescopes, spotting scopes, and cameras. The inclined position is perfect for longer tubes that need additional clearance to clear the mount base when pointed at or close to the zenith.
