M7 Mount

Stellarvue M7 Mount Alt Azimuth Dual Mount Head

The M7 is a solid and smooth Isostatic mount providing a substantial  improvement over the smaller, lighter dual mount units on the market. The ergonomics, bearings, load capacity and smoothness of the M7 is  unsurpassed. The new M7 now has a 35 pound capacity with  adjustment and locking ability in both azimuth and altitude. This will make it easy when you have changing loads and you want to observe with different sized telescopes simultaneously. Do not compare this mount with smaller, lighter units. This massive alt azimuth mount has a 6" azimuth bearing surface, oversized Teflon and stainless roller  bearings on each axis. Adjust tension on both axis and you simply  glide through the sky smoothly and stop completely when you arrive at the object. This mount must be experienced to be appreciated. No more pushing a mount that sticks or shoots past the object. Glide effortlessly  from one object to the next. This latest version has independent adjustment locks allowing you to vary the degree of tension even better. This mount is so smooth that slow motion controls are redundant. The Stableglide "disappears" when you use it. Counterweights and precise balancing  is not necessary unless you are using a single, heavy telescope.  They are available separately.

TSL6 Pier Tripod

Mount the M7 with the Stellarvue TSL6 Pier Tripod and experience the pinnacle of stability.
This is the most beautiful and stable tripod we have ever made. The legs are solid walnut with a beautiful spar finish. Two aluminum adjustment knobs are used with each leg to increase rigidity. Legs are attached to a 4" diameter aluminum column with heavy duty cnc attachments. The column adds 10" of height allowing the use of longer telescopes. This mount is made specifically for the M7 but it also works great with other mounts like the venerable Discmounts. It may be modified for use with other mounts. This latest version features three aluminum plates that have holes for eyepieces and fold up when the mount is stored. To ready the tripod, pull out the legs and attach the base with a single  3/8-16 attachment bolt. The tripod is now ready to use!
Tripod weight 27 pounds. Height to top of base 38 1/2" - 50".
