Sky-Watcher AZ Pronto Alt-Azimutal Mount (Head only)

Sky-Watcher AZ Pronto: The lightest solid mount for your small telescope

The AZ Pronto is a hand-operated, cast-aluminum alt-azimuth mount that is simplicity itself: telescope in the Vixen saddle, point, look. No power, no alignment, no startup time. With a mere 1 kg of its own weight and a 3 kg payload capacity, it's made for small refractors and Maksutovs.

The adjustable alt-azimuth mount allows you to point the telescope directly at your target, and then the slow-motion cables handle the fine adjustments: smooth tracking and centering, even at higher magnifications. This version is the head without a tripod, for those who already have a suitable tripod or want to use the Pronto as a backup or travel head.

Included

• AZ Quick Mount Socket
• Slow-motion cables

For whom yes, for whom no

Ideal as a grab-and-go base for small telescopes up to 3 kg and as a more stable replacement for a wobbly entry-level tripod. Those who want automatic tracking or GoTo functionality should look at the AZ-GTi family.
