Omegon Pro Kolossus Mount: parallelogram mount for weightless viewing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Colossus is the mount for anyone who wants to observe for a long time and in a relaxed manner with large binoculars. Instead of a fork, it uses a balanced swing arm: the binoculars float before your eyes and follow every movement of your head. Perfect for hour-long Milky Way tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This version is the mount without tripod. It has a 3\/8-inch connection and requires a sturdy, preferably stainless steel tripod; the bundle with half-column and tripod delivers precisely that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A three-part parallelogram arm that rotates 360 degrees and is balanced by two 3.7 kg counterweights. As a result, the viewer moves almost weightlessly: you grab the handles, bring it to your eyes, and let go. It stays in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big advantage over a fork mount: the viewer also moves up and down without changing direction. Watching while sitting, standing, or lying in a garden chair with the same adjustment. Load capacity 5 kg, so up to and including a 20\u00d780 or an Argus 25\u00d7100.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Construction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Steel counterweight bar of 86 cm and 20 mm diameter, L-profile with 1\/4 inch screw for the telescope, dual handles. Total weight 17.5 kg including weights, so this is a mount for a permanent location in the garden or a short car trip. A transport bag is included.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Which tripod<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The center of gravity of a parallelogram lies far outside the tripod's base. A lightweight tripod will tip over. Use the Omegon stainless steel tripod or the Pro Column, or choose the bundle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
