For maximum rigidity, the TH3010 is quickly
mounted to the TT320X with three supplied 4 mm stainless steel screws.
Alternatively, if you want to do a bit of visual observing, you can
simply mount the TH3010 straight onto your camera tripod using the 3/8
inch camera threaded hole in the base.
Easy Framing
Tight machining tolerances ensure you'll enjoy silky smooth motion
in both axes as you frame your target for the perfect shot. Specially
made stainless steel and aluminium locking knobs with fine pitch
aerospace threads provide secure locking when carrying large loads.
Telescope Connection
A wide variety of telescope mounting plates can be attached to the
TH3010 including the popular Vixen and Losmandy quick release dovetail
systems. Let us help you select the right dovetail bar and clamp for your telescope.
Tripod and Pier Compatible
The TH3010 is perfectly matched to the AstroTrac Travel System and can also be used with any photo tripod equipped with a standard 3/8" photo thread. Contact us to check compatibility with your equipment.
Ultra compact and lightweight
Thanks to its compact size, the TH3010 can be easily carried in your airline luggage. Get your holiday or vacation off to a great start by avoiding costly excess baggage charges. Weighing just 4 kg (8.8 lb),
of which 2 kg (4.4 lb) is the counterweights, you'll be pleasantly
suprised by how little space and baggage allowance your TH3010 takes up.
Beautifully Engineered
The silky smooth anodised aerospace alloy is perfectly complimented
by the unique polished AstroTrac stainless steel knobs. You can be
confident that the all stainless steel counterweight bar and counterweights will give you many years of corrosion free reliability and handling pleasure.
The TH3010 is manufactured with loving care by highly skilled
engineers at AstroTrac's factory in the UK using state-of-the-art CNC
machinery.
