No polar alignment, no power, no menus. You push the telescope to your target, and friction holds it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The friction of the bearings is adjustable per axis, so tracking at high magnification is done with a fingertip. For visual observation with a refractor, this is the fastest route from the front door to the first object.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TeleVue-Montering-Montagekop.jpg\" alt=\"TeleVue Mount Head: Altazimuth Mount\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On your own tripod<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head is mounted to a sturdy photo tripod or column via the tripod mount in the base. The quality of that tripod then determines the result: the head itself adds no vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cradle accommodates the TeleVue tubes; you adjust the friction per axis by feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Telehandle with adjustable friction<\/li><li>Joystick<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combine the head with a tripod that can easily handle the weight of both the head and the tube; a lightweight travel tripod does not do the head justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes and for whom no<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul
