Recently I've read a few negative comments about iOptron's new red-legged tripod (I agree it looks a bit tacky). It's made me think about ostentatious mounts & accessories in general - a high proportion of which seem to come from our Italian astro friends.
Personally I like Avalon's red mounts and Primaluce Lab's red accessories, but here's a couple of Italian examples that are bound to raise eyebrows:
Avalon's limited edition blue mount & T-pod:

LB Astro's 'Team USA' scope rings:

And who doesn't want one of these Agnetti knobs on their counter weight?
