Mount Vixen Altazimutal Porta Mobile.
Ultra-portable yet stable observation mount.
Weighing only 2.4 kg (including tripod), the Vixen Porta Mobile altazimuth mount is the lightest and most affordable mount in the range and is perfect for nomadic and immediate observation. The mount head and tripod sections are detachable for maximum ease of transport and storage, but the entire system can also be conveniently transported in an optional carrying bag.
Using the same friction-fit system as the larger Porta II model, the telescope can be moved quickly by hand. Unlike some competitive models, the Mobile Porta also includes slow-moving handles for precise adjustment and tracking. The new design of removable knobs eliminates the problem of blind spots in altitude adjustment and makes the mount more compact when transported.
As with all Vixen mounts, the Mobile Holder uses the "world standard" dovetail mounting system and supports a payload of up to 3.5 kg. The recommended maximum tube diameter to be used is 120 mm. The maximum usable tube diameter will vary depending on the length and weight of the tube, as well as the type of tube.
The mount is supplied with a circular accessory tray with cutouts for eyepieces. It can also be used to store small photographic accessories. The tray is attached and detached via a single centrally mounted screw.
Tools for adjusting the tension of the friction system are located on the mount. They are stored securely inside the head, but can be quickly accessed.

- Vertical and horizontal slow motion
