This iOptron AZ Mount Pro With LiteRoc Tripod is a super nice, convenient, high quality, Go-To Az-El mount. It has the features you want and need. This iOptron AZ Mount Pro With LiteRoc Tripod incorporates iOptron's "Level and Go" intuitive Go-To setup feature. They call it "Level and Go" because it uses an amazingly simple setup and align routine.

Using its built-in precision level indicator, the operator simply levels the mount and turns on the power; this capable computerized alt-azimuth telescope mount takes over from there. Utilizing its on-board 32 channel GPS receiver and built-in position and angular detection sensors; the AZ mount Pro calculates its global position as well as the telescope orientation. Automatically the mount slews the instrument to an easily identifiable bright object in the night sky. The user only confirms a bright object is in the center of the field of view, to activate this mount's tracking and GO-TO functionality.

The Az Mount Pro from iOptron makes your setup routine, tracking operation, Go-To features, and observations simple and fun. Its Go2Nova® 8407 hand controller features a 212K+ object library to make your Go-To object acquisition quick, precise, and simple to use.

The new LiteRoc tripod is a lighter tripod with stability similar to the old 2” one. It also has improved leg cuffs and sockets for further rigidity and redesigned leg lock levers securing the extensions in position. Easy to transport and set up anywhere.
