Tele Vue Tele-Pod Mount and SKY Tour Kit

The Tele-Pod Mount is a complete 7 lb., Alt-Az, mounting system, great for traveling with the 70-85mm scopes. Telescope height ranges from 28" to 62". The 2-section, black anodized, aluminum tripod legs are foam covered. Each leg has a retractable rubber-tipped foot which reveals a metal ground spike.

The center column has a 1/4-20 stud on one end and a removable 3/8-16 stud base on the other end. The Yoke & Cradle type mount head balances your scope at its center of gravity. Because the Tele-Pod head has a built-in azimuth bearing, it can be removed and used on any camera tripod having 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 screws.

The Sky Tour object locator with its exclusive Lorenzin 2000+ database and refinements such as backlit button names, 10 character smooth scrolling display and advanced "identify" capability, brings the hand-held computer to a high feature/ performance level - a Tele Vue level of convenience and ease of use.

When Sky Tour is added to Tele Vue mounts, the total system is simple enough to encourage beginners, yet deep enough for experts to maintain a lifetime of observing enthusiasm.
