Customer photo and comment:
Apertura
style kit.
"I
really love the mount! Easy to paint, looks
perfect. Nice simple set to put together,
Glued on all places I could. A couple layers
of primer and light sanding made the plywood
edges disappear. Then a layer of indoor
outdoor black semi-gloss trim paint.
Looks
factory nice as if it was always made for
the AD8. Swings like butter, stops and stays
great with the new bearing on it.
I’m
fortunate to have the lighter base easy
to handle holding with the holes. Thank
you very much!"

Mount performance
"As you want it" - Custom
designs to enjoy the experience!
Mounts with sports car handling and performance.
Great design and materials will show up in
your eyepiece.
Experience
buttery smooth handling, fingertip easy starts
and stops, while remaining motionless at higher
magnifications.
Baltic Birch plywood construction means structural
stiffness, strength, lighter weight and years
of endurance. Bearing surfaces glide smoothly
on virgin Teflon and select laminate to provide
excellent sticktion.
Larger altitude bearings mean you get better
balance and finer incremental movement control.
Whether your goal is low cost, light weight,
a specific eyepiece height, improved
balance or easier transportability, we
design with focus on your needs. Tell us what
you want.
