Omegon Pro Column Tripod for (H)EQ5 and most mounts
Portable Column for On the Go
A look at your astrophotography: And yet again, you're not entirely satisfied with it? Often, it's due to a tripod that isn't stable enough. With the Omegon Pro Column, you can mount your telescope much more securely. A rigid center column and wide column legs ensure the necessary and firm support for your equipment. Nevertheless, it's ultra-portable and suitable for any observation location.
The advantages at a glance:
Up to 87 kg load capacity: Sturdy CNC column tripod for vibration-free observations
Easy to disassemble: Perfect for astrophotographers on the move
Made of anodized premium aluminum and stainless steel with a weight of just 9 kg
For stunning astrophotographs, because wind or vibrations are no longer a concern
Leveling screws for uneven surfaces
You know the drill: You never find a perfectly flat surface in the field. What's easy with a tripod can become a challenge with a mobile column. But with the Omegon Pro pillar, you can set up the entire telescope precisely and level. This is ensured by a leveling system for all pillar legs: movable plates and height-adjustable, lockable screws. All components are naturally rustproof and can withstand any dew in the grass.
A pillar for any location you want
A tripod is flexible, but a pillar is heavy and durable? That statement belongs to the past. You no longer have to use your telescope on a fixed pillar in the garden. Even if you live in a city apartment and don't have the benefit of a fixed telescope in your garden: Now everyone can use a stable pillar. Simply drive to your observing location. This easily foldable pillar will always be in your luggage with your telescope.
Suitable for these mounts: NEQ-3, NEQ-5, HEQ-5, AZ/EQ5 PRO, Meade LX85 and similar
Mount adapters for many common mounts
EQ-3, EQ-5, or a completely different mount? The adapter, with a recess for the mount's spigot, fits many commercially available models. Once screwed in, you can attach your mount to the column in seconds, as three anodized aluminum screws secure the flange in a snap.
