Omegon Twinmaster AZ Mount with Stainless Steel Tripod

Omegon Twinmaster AZ Mount with Stainless Steel Tripod: the Twinmaster complete with tripod

This version of the Twinmaster comes with a sturdy stainless steel tripod. The mount carries two instruments simultaneously, each up to 13 kg, which allows space for larger telescopes such as a 10-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain.

Why the tripod matters

With two heavy instruments, the tripod determines stability. Stainless steel is heavier than aluminum, and that is an advantage here: mass dampens vibrations. A lighter tripod would not be able to utilize the payload capacity of the mount.

Detail and overview

Mount a telescope and binoculars, or two telescopes. This way you can see an object from two sides: the wide star field and the details within it, without switching instruments.

Setup and clamping

The GP rails accommodate any instrument with a standard dovetail. Fine adjustment per axis and manual clamps ensure you center accurately and the setup stays in place afterward.

Included

• Altazimuth mount with dual Vixen GP dovetail clamps
• Stainless steel tripod
• Fine adjustment per axis

Featured accessories

The 20 mm counterweight bar is not included and is required to balance two instruments of different weights.

• ✓ If you want to use two heavy instruments
• ✓ Owners of a 10-inch SC or similar
• ✓ Those looking for a complete setup
• ✗ Those who already have a suitable tripod: the separate mount is more affordable
