The Vixen Mini-Porta comes equipped with two fine
adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both directions,
very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects. In addition,
these are great mounts for terrestrial viewing. Our gear drives make it
a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by
simply turning the elevation and or azimuth control handles. This
sturdy obseving base weighs just 6 lbs but will hold scopes up to 8
lbs. The “World-Standard” dovetail attachment system on PORTA was
developed by Vixen. This allows the PORTA to accept various dovetail
mounted optical tubes and binoculars. Specifications:
