We just completed a video talking about our favorite astronomy accessory for our big binoculars- the iOptron HAZ31 "Go-to" mount- that will automatically point you to any object in the sky!
https://youtu.be/9BYa_iUeQgU
We love the iOptron HAZ31 strain wave go-to mount for our big binoculars. With it’s 32 channel GPS receiver, it can locate the binocular and guide it to anything in the sky. That’s why it’s a “Go To” mount- type in the moon or Saturn and it will go directly to it. If you are into time lapse astro-photography, this mount will track objects to get you perfect long exposures.
You can also use it manually to point and move the binocular for earth bound viewing.
We talk about the advantages of using their iOptron 12V lithium-ion power bank battery pack so as to have one less cord to manage, and how to set it up. Make sure you have our Oberwerk Mini-Pier installed so the setup won’t bump your binocular on the tripod. We also like the Vixen-style dovetail plate with safety stop to attach your binocular to the head to prevent slipping.
Our made in America TR-3 hardwood tripods make a beautiful mount for your HAZ31, easily handling the weight. The best part of this new head is that unlike the older iOptron AZ-pro mount- this one doesn’t require counterweights, making it easier to take out in the field.
You can also use this mount with telescopes, but, we’d only recommend that for you if you’re a one-eyed pirate.
