Overview

Essential details

EXOS own Brand New Premium Heavy Duty Manual Mount.

The EXOS Equatorial EXOS-EQ4 Mount with Steel Tripod provides precision and stability needed for serious observing and is great for the amateur astronomer who wants to move up to a more stable mount. It is popular with those who have a heavier telescope and need the strength this mount has (for example, larger reflectors or heavy refractors).

Features:

63mm diameter RA and DEC worm and worm gear systems are all CNC-machined with very high quality, high precision, to ensure the smooth tracking

25x2.5mm diameter steel tube RA shaft, stable enough for 10kgs OTA.

Mount weights merely 3.6kg – easy to travel with

110mm Heavy Nylon/35% Fibreglass Dual Saddle – Lightweight, but extremely strong (25%+ larger than EQ3)

Tubular Steel Tripod Legs, rated to 20kg of weight (3.9kg) with easy to set up ‘drop in’ accessory tray

Enlarged Bubble Level (diameter 25mm vs 11mm on EQ3)

20% larger setting Circles vs. other EQ3

(H – Heavy version) Two 3.8kg counterweights (one pictured)

(M – Medium version) One 3.8kg counterweight and one 2kg counterweight

Two nylon slow motion cables with finger tightening thumb screws – Adjustable tension via Hex Screws

Extremely tough lower mount base – Die cast aluminum base (developed and used by KSON for over 20 years!), with upper mount made of incredibly tough nylon and 35% fibre glass

Counterweight shaft: 20mm diameter 350mm long

Made for Severe Sun Conditions – Tough and Durable

This KM-EQ4 mount includes a dual saddle as standard, built-in holder for polar scope, a latitude adjuster with micrometer scale, an azimuth polar-alignment adjuster, aluminium setting circles, manual slow-motion tracking controls, enlarged bubble level and steel tubular tripod legs.

Metal Legs, and a tripod tray that you simple drop in and tighten. Very easy to set up. Lighter than competitor mounts.

The equivalent in EQ Mounts would be the other EQ5 Heavy Manual Mount however it is a single saddle unit. Note that we both use the term ‘Medium’ and ‘Heavy’ mount. We would classify this as a Medium mount when it comes to weight – but competitors like to rate the other EQ3 as a ‘heavy’ mount, so in that sense, we would be quite comfortable rating it as a heavy duty mount.

The KT7 tripod are made from 38/32mm tubular steel legs in black, extended from 75cm to 120cm height with triangle accessory tray to strengthen stability of the tripod.
