## Description

A rock-solid platform for the ultimate visual experience. The Sky-Watcher AZ5 is a lightweight, easy-to-use, grab-and-go telescope mount for visual astronomy and daytime terrestrial observations. Constructed from cast aluminum and designed to attach a wide variety of OTAs and other optical equipment up to 15-pounds (6.8kg) in weight, via a regular 45mm, Vixen-style dovetail bar. Adjustable 1.75-inch rolled steel tripod legs provide a sturdy platform for a smooth and enjoyable viewing experience.

Review: A Good Value as Quality Manual Mounts Can Be Hard to Find - I use this mount with an 80mm apo refractor and a 150mm SCT. I like it because I am a visual-only observer and prefer manual mounts (i.e., no power needed or electronic components to malfunction). Even though this is a straight-forward Alt-Az mount, I am able to follow objects as the earth rotates because of the slow motion controls. For my purposes, I find the mount to be well-built and stable enough for my setup (i.e., scopes in the 10 pound range). Also, the eyepiece tray is a very nice feature. It can be hard to find well-constructed manual mounts that have stability, and the next level up contains mostly motorized mounts starting around $1000. For me, this mount is a good value for the money and works well in my scenario. The tripod legs are substantial, which really contributes to the stability of this mount - as long as I stay around a 10 pound payload. Regarding its weight, it is heavy enough to be stable for viewing purposes but light enough that it is not a big burden to carry. Since assembly is rather straight forward, I would consider this mount to be reasonably portable.
Review: Good, solid mount & tripod. Very well made. Fast shipping. - Very solid mount for a small- to medium-size refractor, SCT, Mak or Newtonian scope. It will handle a 4" triplet or a 5" achromat with no trouble, as well as an 8" SCT. I haven't tried it with one, but I expect it will be fine with a 7" Mak. It's a very nice step up from most entry-level mounts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tripod with slow motion controls
*by H***S on September 19, 2025*

Excellent product. The slow motion controls are very useful. I am using it with a TeleVue Pronto refractor. It allows me to get to the zenith without any blockage. I am very happy with this tripod. It allows me to use the Hopper e-finder from Clear Skies Astro with the Pronto and has given new life to the scope. It is a much better arrangement than the original TelePod with the Sky Tour computer and encoders. I would not go back.
