This very practical Alt-Az mount is made in Switzerland by AOK for William Optics.
It is entirely aluminum made, with a stylish sanded finish and laser engraving. The knobs are stainless steel. We named it EAZY-Touch because it's easy to set-up, and it is easy to use. Tracking stars even at high-power has never been easier. The extremely high quality allows for smooth movements without the need for any slow-motion controls. This very solid Alt-Az Mount is fitted with a Vixen bar clamp on one side and can mount Losmandy-style plates on the other, allowing you to mount to telescopes at one time. Mounting two telescopes should allow you to balance each other more easily too. Two scopes, twice the fun: invite your family to observe with you, or use a larger and a smaller scopes at the same time parallel-mounted.
The head weighs 3.5 kg and mounted on a quality tripod will offer all the stability you need without compromising its portability and ease of use. The "Teflon inside" guarantees that there is no backlash and that your mount will peform oustandingly.
Wooden Tripod
The mount can be purchased "head only", or complete with Tripod. This stable wooden tripod comes with an eyepiece tray. The tripod configuration includes the mounting base with standard 5/8-11 camera tripod connection.
It is ideal for our EAZY Touch ALT-AZ mount, unless you already own a very stable yet portable good-quality camera tripod, such as Manfrotto or Gitzo. Berlebach are strongly recommended too.
How much can I mount on it, how big a telescope?
Provided that you are using a GOOD quality tripod, you can mount up to 10 kg on either side without any need for a counterweight. That means that a 4"-5" refractor for example, is easily handled. For larger or heavier scopes, we recommend the installation of counterweights with a counterweight bar and standard counterweights.
The head has a standard camera-tripod thread to fit on most tripods, but we strongly recommend our wooden tripod in the complete mount configuration which offers the best quality/price ratio.
If you unscrew the bottom silver pillar from the black ring connection, you will find it has a 3/8 for usage on stable photographic tripods. The silver pillar base is threaded M10; this will work with most camera-tripods (metric threaded) and for Vixen GP (SuperPolaris and Vixen type clones, Meade LXD75 etc.) compatible tripods; however to get the best possible "bang for the buck", we strongly recommend our wooden tripod (available separately too) .
We now sell a Vixen-style dovetail plate for usage with the Vixen clamp of the EAZY-T or with other compatible mounts.
These 90 mm, felt-lined mounting rings are made out of solid aluminum, anodized in black or silver, and will fit most 90 mm OD tubes, and all William Optics 80 and 90mm telescopes (Megrez 80 and 90, ZenithStar 80).
A worthwhile investment if you want the best out of your GEM or Alt-az mount.

Combo Plate
A mount is only half of the equation. Actually less than half. The best telescope and the best mount, still need a versatile mounting plate to go with. William Optics Combo plate (dovetail and saddle plate) is elegant, solid, and machined to the highest standards, as any WO product.
Top Quality
William Optics uses only high-grade aluminum. This guarantees your Combo plate to last a life-time.
Precision-machined for perfect and smooth fit.
Black anodized to enhance good looks and durability.
Versatile

Any Rings OK
Virtually any rings, like the WO 90mm rings, or the WO 115mm rings, or any other brands' mounting rings, will easily fit in one of the holes provided.
The COMBO design allows for quick and easy release from the saddle plate of the tube assembly. The large knurled knob holds the dovetail plate steady in place.
Perfect for the astrophotography refractors
This combo plate goes perfectly well with telescopes you want to do astrophotography with. In case of rain or for a quick release, the dovetail will easily slide out of the saddle plate. When only the best will do, this combo is what you want.
