Digital camera reviews of Vixen 3992mini Mini Porta Mount

Digital camera Review: Forget the Mini
Summary: 1 Stars

The Mini Porta is too lightly constructed for any telescope. Not too light to hold it but too lightly constructed to hold it steady. I's rated for 10 pound telescopes, but that is not workable. It's shaky with 3 pound telescopes. Move up a notch and buy a Porta Mount if you like the features. While it lacks the alt-az controls, I've found a medium photo tripod, like a Induro 693830 AP2 to be a much more stable platform for small telescopes up to say 5 pounds. Vixen has some products that are high quaility and some, like this mount, that shouldn't be sold.

Summary of Vixen 3992mini Mini Porta Mount

The Vixen Mini-PORTA Mount come equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both directions, very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects. In addition, this is a great mount for terrestrial viewing. Our gear drives make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by simply turning the elevation and or azimuth control handles. The ?World-Standard? dovetail attachment system on PORTA was developed by Vixen. This allows the PORTA to accept various dovetail mounted optical tubes and binoculars.
