Very nice Mount Setup I purchased a couple of days ago....

Half Hitch ( FTX ) Mount on Berlebach ' Planet ' ( German ) Tripod.

I thought I had used ' smooth ' Mounts in my time ( and they have been )... but this Mount goes way beyond that... this has extremely ' silky smooth ' movement in both Alt/Az direction.

The Mount itself is an Engineering Marvel..... beautifully machined from Alloy.... superbly construsted and put together with absolute quality in mind.

These Mounts are known to support larger Refractors than mine.... right up to a TEC160.

Where the Mount connects to the Tripod, it may look like a ' weak ' point... but I can assure you it is very ' solid ' and no flexing.

A quick release adapter can be purchased from the USA ~$500.00AU.

.....I definitely don't need to look any further for another Mount.
