There’s more to this


equatorial Go To


mount than just a


radical new design.


Tipping the scales at only 10½ pounds (4¾
kg) without the counterweight shaft, the
ZEQ25GT is compact and very portable.
The pivoting counterweight shaft clears
the tripod legs when the mount is set for
low latitudes all the way to the equator.
