Vixen Portable EQ Mount
The Vixen Portable EQ Mount is used when installing the Starry Sky Platform Polarie U. When adjusting the polar axis precisely using the polar axis telescope PF-LII, it is necessary to move the starry sky platform itself vertically (horizontally) (fine movement), but by using the polar axis fine movement platform, this fine movement Operation is possible.
The polar axis fine motion platform is used by mounting it between the camera tripod (head).

Wide setting range: altitude -35 to 90°, azimuth 360° (stepless)
The platform surface can be freely moved at an altitude of 0° to 90° and azimuth of 360° by loosening the clamp, and it can be used in a wide range of areas and situations. Fine adjustment allows fine adjustment up to 7.5°. Movable over 90° up to about 35° (-35°) on the other side
Double screw type fine adjustment screw that can be securely fixed
The altitude fine movement and the direction fine movement have adopted the double screw type which operates by loosening one screw and tightening the other. Since it is sandwiched with screws from both sides, it is possible to achieve both fine movement and strong fixing. If you like, you can use the included hex wrench to tighten the screws.
