So you know which telescope you are taking on holiday...and you were going to take a camera tripod anyway as, well, you need one on holiday don't you? But it is unsatisfactory mounting your favourite OTA in this way. The Porta mount from Vixen has always been a superb choice, but the tripod has prevented it from literally fitting in your suitcase.
We are pleased to offer a solution. We now offer this excellent mount with a tripod adapter plate and a universal mounting L-plate giving you ultimate flexibility and portability for your summer vacation.
This combination package accepts standard Vixen-style dovetails or scopes, binoculars & accessories with a standard tripod socket on the base. In practice the Porta can carry Newtonians up to ~6", refractors up to ~4.5", and Maksutovs up to 5-6". Picture shows Skymax 102 4" Mak.
