About Celestron CGX Equatorial Mount with Tripod
FEATURED REVIEWS
It works
Solid construction. Very smooth. A bit heavy, but three big bolts attach it to the tripod, so I move the scope in 3 pieces: OTA, mount, tripod. Pretty easy and fast setup.
I would strongly recommend this product. (and Adorama)
