The separate clutches on elevation and azimuth axes give you complete control. You can move your telescope smoothly and aim precisely, without hiccups or jerks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"90535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ-4-Montering-aluminium-statief-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ-4 + Mount with telescope on light aluminum tripod in alt-azimutal setup\" class=\"wp-image-90535\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Versatile mounting options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mount comes with a standard Sky-Watcher swallowtail and an L-holder.
