[Driftwood (Owen Rennie)]

Hi guys, my name is Owen Rennie. I'm new to the forum and have some questions

I'm a cinematographer and I'm planning on shooting the moon and sun. I'm looking to mount my Red Dragon and Canon 800mm (approx 12-15kg) and track these.

I'm after a high quality mount that can handle the weight and have very smooth motors/ tracking. Price under $5kAUD if possible. I have my own heavy duty tripods but I'm not sure if these mounts can attach to 100mm video tripods?

I live in Sydney and was going to visit a few Astronomy shops this week but would love to get some feedback/advice.

What type of mount? What brand? I'll also need to fix a solar filter to the lens for sun and also a dew filter in some cases. Any other tips?

I don't plan on shooting any other objects in the sky (yet) but would be good to have a mount with the option too

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you guys
