Just an update on a product I have used for years. I have mounted my BT telescope on a Tele Vue Tele Pod!
Before the BT telescope sat higher in the saddle and was not great but usable. Now a BT100 balances nicely and even can balance unlocked in a slight raised position.
An added 22 lb. weight added for non travel use/outreach. Mount will work well without weight when used as personal use.
See here with optional Bino-Handle BinoBox Baader solar filter!
Perhaps the best part is a TV85 telescope can finally be raised up to view well past its pervious limit to Zenith!
