The Vixen Porta II is a high-quality azimuthal mount from the award-winning manufacturer Vixen. Featuring an intuitive, versatile and reliable design, the Porta II was specially developed to enable quick and precise telescopic observations along the vertical and horizontal axes without the need for a complex setup. It comes with fine adjustment wheels for fine tuning the position of the telescope to track astronomical objects. It also has a highly portable design thanks to the detachable mount head, which can be quickly detached from the tripod via an M10 screw. In addition, the dovetail mounting system (Vixen standard) ensures maximum compatibility with a wide range of telescopes.
