Great Mount for Telescope Photography

After searching for a mount for my telescope that also works as a camera accessory, i stumbled upon this gem .It took me no time to set up and it works flawlessly. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I was able to align my camera to the mount with ease. The mount provides a stable foundation for astrophotography making it perfect for long-exposure shots. The only con is that the mount can be a bit bulky when transporting it. Overall, I highly recommend this mount to any astrophotographer

Pros
  • Easy to set up, stable foundation for astrophotography.
Cons
  • Bulky for transportation.

Unreliable adapter for Astrophotography

This adapter is not worth buying .It's frustrating to set it up and does not function properly. The pros of the product include its price, but the cons outweigh the advantages. It doesnt work consistently and it takes a lot of time and effort to get the perfect shot. The product is a letdown and isn't a good investment for anyone interested in electronics or astrophotography..

Pros
  • Easy to use and install.
Cons
  • May require additional adapters for certain telescope models.

Works great with photo adapters

I built a small rig for my granddaughter using an old EQ2 mount and a Celestron refractor. The scope only had a 1/4 camera mount and the rings are expensive. This adapter is perfect for the EQ2 and allows me to attach a scope or camera and is rock solid. I'm sure she will love it and if she continues to be interested in astronomy we will raise her. She's only seven now, so that should fit. Bye. Thanks to Astromania for a wonderful adapter.

Pros
  • Attaches securely to the head of the Orion EQ-2 equatorial mount.
Cons
  • Upgradeable
