NEW AND IMPROVED MODEL FOR 2009/2010!
This new improved mount is made by William Optics. It is entirely aluminum made, with a new stylish matte black finish and laser engraving. The knobs are black too. The tripod is a heavy-duty wooden tripod.
We call it EAZY-Touch because it's easy to set-up, and it is easy to use. Tracking stars even at high-power has never been easier. The extremely high quality allows for smooth movements without the need for any slow-motion controls. This very solid Alt-Az Mount is fitted with a Vixen-type dovetail bar clamp on one side and can mount to the optional Losmandy-style plates on the other, allowing you to mount to TWO telescopes at any one time. Mounting two telescopes should allow you to balance each other more easily too. Two scopes, twice the fun: invite your family to observe with you, or use a larger and a smaller scopes at the same time parallel-mounted.
The head weighs 3 kg and is mounted on a quality wooden tripod offering all the stability you need without compromising its portability and ease of use. The "Teflon inside" guarantees that there is no backlash and that your mount will perform outstandingly.
How much can I mount on it, how big a telescope?
Provided that you are using a GOOD quality tripod, you can mount up to 10 kg total on both side without any need for a counterweight. That means that a 4"-5" refractor for example, is easily handled. For larger or heavier scopes, we recommend the installation of counterweights with a counterweight bar and standard counterweights.
If you unscrew the bottom pillar from the black ring connection, you will find it has a 3/8 for usage on stable photographic tripods. The pillar base is threaded M10; this will work with most camera-tripods (metric threaded) and for Vixen GP (SuperPolaris and vixen type clones, Meade LXD75 etc.) compatible tripods; however this mount works best with the supplied wooden tripod.
This package includes:
1 Set - Eazy Touch Mount (Black) and wooden tripod with tray (worth US$600 - Maximum Capacity Load up to 20~25 Lbs or 9~12 Kg)
1 Piece - WO Vixen-Style 11" Long Adapter Plate (worth US$110!) - Helps in proper balancing of your telescope on the EAZY-Touch, especially when heavy eyepieces or related accessories are attached to the telescope
PLUS 1 Piece Add-On Vixen style adapter for EZ TOUCH MOUNT (worth US$65) to convert the Losmandy-style connection to a Vixen-style connection, so you can use 2 telecopes with Vixen-style adapters at the same time!
Price shown is inclusive of 7% Singapore GST charge.

Praises for the Eazy Touch Mount:
"The head is very fluid and tracking is a breeze.... ... This mount/ tripod combination performed flawlessly... ...The EZ Touch easily supported my 80 refractor and will easily support my new FSQ-106ED when it arrives. I have no longer any need for the otherwise fine Gibralter mount...as the weight factor became a pain for me when lugging it around to star parties. Again, the mount itself is ultra-smooth and tracking is no problem at any reasonable power."
"I perused magazines and the internet for multitudes of alt/az mounts available out there. There are some really nice ones but none could match my criterea except the EZTouch... ... I noticed that the mount head is one solid, well built, precision crafted instrument... ... This is definitely a BMW-Mercedes-Audi breed of a mount. After following the short instruction sheets that explain how to put the mount together, and attach it to the equally solid wooden tripod, I then clamped my telescope to the built-in dovetail. The movements in RA and Altitude are smooth as butter. And, after viewing the stars it becomes quite easy to figure out how much tension to add to either movement of it's axes. Definitely a well made mount/tripod combination that will have a permanent place in my astro gear collection. I can easily give this mount system a solid 10!!"
