Our lightweight alt-az "Porta" mount 

can be the heart of an exceptionally 
portable telescope/mount system. 

PORTA features a newly designed 

friction system for quickly pointing 
toward the target and tracking it with 

360° slow-motion controls. No fumbling 
with clutches or sectional slow-motion 

controls! Leave the heavy 

counterweights with the equatorials: 
simply balance scopes up to 155mm 

diameter (and up to 11-lbs/5kg) on the 

altitude axis and start viewing!  
 

Standard Vixen dovetail mounting slot 
with lock and safety screw is fully 

SPHINX/GP-compatible. Mounting slot 

removes to reveal ¼"-20 and M8-1.25 
threaded holes for custom mounting 

solutions. PORTA mount features slo-
mo worm with 120-tooth worm gears, 

switchable slow-motion knobs, tension 

adjustment and disassembly tools, 

built-in tool storage bay, tripod tray and aluminum legs.  

 

Tripod height to top of tripod base adjusts from 27.75" to 47.75" / 70cm to 121cm.  

 

 

Metal tripod tray to hold your observing accessories and lock tripod legs into 
place. Fits Vixen and other branded tripods (bolt holes spaced about 9-1/2" 
inches apart) including current aluminum tripods for GP, GP-D2, GP2, GP-DX, 

GP-E, Sphinx, Porta (invert knob-holder on spreader) and Custom-D mounts.

Long flexible handle (290mm/11.5") achieves greater manual tracking 
comfort and less vibration on GP-series, SP-series and PORTA mounts. Locks 
directly on either axis of motion (also on optional Manual Operation Clutch of 
equatorials). Order two for the ultimate slo-mo ride.
