Tele Vue Tele-Pod

Description A complete, lightweight telescope mount featuring smooth alt-azimuth motions and optional encoders to add object locating capability. Perfect for our smaller, travel-easy refractors. Telescope height ranges from 29" to 60+". Aluminum tripod legs are 3-section, black anodized, rubber-tipped feet and spiked feet included. Features include bubble-level, glove-friendly locking clamps, and included carry bag. The self contained head comes with a handle, accepts optional encoders, and can be used on any camera tripod with either a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 stud. It is the most portable Digital Setting Circle-ready mount head available. We highly recommend the Eyepiece Caddy Set accessory since the Tele-Pod Mount and standard camera tripods do not have accessory trays.
