EOI: AOK Traveler mount

Thinking of selling this great and rather unique little mount as it's not being used much.

It's an alt-az that, as the name suggests, would be great for travelling due to its compact size.

The photos show the mount with my little SV66ED. The mount is actually overkill for such a small scope. It worked even better with my SV80ED (now sold) and would also work with larger scopes.

I reckon it would hold a 4" f/7 refractor. I tried it with my C6 SCT and it was fine although the camera tripod wasn't strong enough.

The attachment underneath is standard 3/8"-16 photo tripod. I was using it on a Manfrotto 055 and it was stable with the 66ED and the 80ED.

It accepts a standard Vixen/Synta style dovetail. The altitude can be rotated 360° so you can mount the scope on the left or right hand side.

Asking $380 including postage.

Will trade for a 14mm Delos.

Enquiries by PM please.
