Dimnensions of Stellarvue M2C?

One of the vendor sites lists the dimensions of the M2C as 10 inches X 10 inches X 10 inches. I assume that's a typo and it's actually a 10-cm cube?

A 10-in cube seems ridiculously large for that class of mount.

Thanks.

The body of the mount is a rectangular prism 10 cm x 8.5 cm x 8.5 cm. The widest dimensions when including the alt-az knobs and dovetail bracket are around 18 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm.

It's a beautiful little mount.

Thanks! I've been eyeing them for awhile. Too many lovely astro toys to buy and not enough hobby cash. LOL.

I like mine so much it determines what scopes I buy.
Get the column too.

I have a Manfrotto 475B with a geared elevator column. Hopefully that would give enough clearance.

But I just bought an M1V to test drive. I'll try it on my Benro pod that also has an elevator column, although it's not geared and not as stable.
