We bought a Telepod when we got our Televue 85 and it is a good mount but we have just bought a Vixen Portamount because it has slow motion controls (the Telepod doesn't) and locks better (it doesn't move when changing heavy 2 inch eyepieces). The Portamount (or the GS clone) is also cheaper so I'd get that in preference to the Telepod if I were you. We will keep the Telepod however because it is more portable than the Portamount - we can stick it in a backpack and go bird or whale watching. The Televue refractor attaches to the Telepod with a clamshell rather than rings so if your refractor is not a Televue I'm not sure how you'd attach it to a Telepod.
