The separate friction clutches on altitude and azimuth give complete control: you push the tube to the target and it stays exactly where you release it. With an 8 kg payload capacity, it can clearly carry more than the average entry-level mount.<\/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-AZ-4-Montering-statief-uit-staal-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ-4 + Mount alt-azimutal head with telescope on stainless steel tripod in side view\" 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-AZ-4-Montering-statief-uit-staal-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ-4 + Mount close-up of alt-azimutal head with panorama lever mounted on tripod\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mount comes with a standard Sky-Watcher dovetail clamp and an L-bracket, allowing you to mount a spotting scope or camera as well.
