Mount performance


Great mounts make great views possible.


Observing carefree with ease and comfort brings enjoyment.

Our mounts feature robust construction, sure motion, fingertip control with precise smooth starts and motionless stops.

Baltic Birch plywood construction gives you structural stiffness and strength, lighter weight and years of endurance. Altitude and azimuth bearings glide on virgin Teflon and laminate providing excellent sticktion. We offer larger altitude bearings for improved balance and finer incremental movement control.

Whether your goal is low cost, light weight, height, improved balance or transportability - our designs deliver your needs.
