A superb portable heavy duty alt az mount head for serious field use

Wood has a number of properties that make it the ideal material for supporting astronomy mounts. Not only does it look fantastic and is warm to the touch (great for cold winter nights under the stars) but Ash wood in particular has excellent vibration damping characteristics.

The Canadian Telescopes Wooden Tripod  features high load capacity for excellent stability with minimum vibration.

The ultra-flat design of the new tripod head with 105 mm leg joints guarantees maximum torsional stiffness. 

Please note: The counter weight is optional
