It carries telescopes up to 5 kg and points from near the horizon to the zenith. The slip clutch allows you to quickly rough-aim the tube; then you can make precise adjustments on both axes using the worm gear fine adjustment via the slow-motion cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ5-Montering-Deluxe-met-statief-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ5 mount head close-up with flexible fine adjustment knobs and Vixen saddle on half column\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ5-Montering-Deluxe-met-statief-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ5 on aluminum tripod with extension column and extended slow motion cables in side view\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Vixen-style saddle accepts virtually any lightweight refractor, Maksutov, or spotting scope with a dovetail. The aluminum tripod is adjustable from 86.5 to 158 cm, allowing you to observe comfortably while standing or sitting. With no motors or electronics, there is nothing that can run out of power or break: set it down and start viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>AZ5 Deluxe mount (2.3 kg) with Vixen-style saddle<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Slow-motion cables for both axes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Aluminum tripod (86.5 to 158 cm)<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want maximum rigidity, replace the aluminum tripod with the Sky-Watcher AZ5 1.75-inch stainless steel tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good for: visual observers with a lightweight refractor or Maksutov who want a simple, quiet mount without power.
