Description
Because of the CEM70EC’s ability to be used with a variety of scope types in both observatory and in-the-field situations, no tripod is supplied. This allows the purchaser to chose from a variety of tripods and piers that best suits their needs.
If you’re looking for a high-precision, high payload capacity German equatorial mount for serious astrophotography and visual observing – yet one that is portable and reasonably priced – take a careful look at the new iOptron CEM70EC. It may be just what you are looking for.
