TeleVue Advanced Tele-Pod Mount with Aluminum Tripod

Tele Vue's Tele-Pod Mount is a handy, user-friendly travel mount for Tele Vue telescopes. It blends the compact size, lightweight, and adaptability of a photo-tripod, with the Tele Vue yoke and cradle mount head's smooth, balanced alt-az motions. Optimally suited for lighter instruments such as the TV-60, TV-76, or even the TV-85 when used for terrestrial purposes.

The Tele-Pod is made up of the mount head which provides support for the telescope and enables vertical and horizontal motion, and the aluminum tripod with rubber feet which provides support for the head and allows the scope height to be adjusted. The mount head sports smooth performing altitude and azimuth bearings with tension adjustments, Delrin scope stop in the event of an unintended objective "nosedive," and 3/8-16 as well as 1/4-20 attachment holes on the underside of the azimuth bearing plate.

Adam R. ★★★★★

Set-up took maybe five minutes even in the dark, and the aluminum legs feel rock-solid once you lock them. For a tripod this light, it holds my scope steady with zero wobble when I'm reaching for the eyepiece.

Kevin I. ★★★★★

The whole thing folds down small enough to toss in a carry-on, yet it holds my scope steady even when I bump the eyepiece mid-observation. Setup takes under a minute, and the aluminum legs feel solid without being a burden to haul up a hill.

Samuel L. ★★★★★

The tripod’s legs lock securely with a simple twist, and the whole mount feels rock-solid even with my heavier eyepiece attached. I’ve used it on three outings now, and the smooth alt-az motion makes tracking stars effortless. Perfect for quick backyard sessions.
