The Tripod Mount With The Tube (#1)
Now, the mount is much easier and faster to assemble. All that needs be
done is to insert the legs into the "extensions" that are welded onto
the bottom of the base plate and attach 2 bolts, 4 washers, and 2 nuts onto
each leg. The only difficult part is lifting up the mount -- It weighs
around 75 pounds, without the counterweights! Note that it doesn't
have a means of driving the telescope to track objects. Refer to the
following images about these parts.
