Now available... the Kenko Single-axis tracking mount -- a compact, portable, easy-to-use, precision tracking mount, perfect for the beginner starting out in astrophotography with wide angle lenses.

Experienced observers will also find it useful as a second mount for travel or as an additional platform for cameras or a lightweight scope. While you observe or photograph with your primary system, the Kenko mount can be used to capture wide angle panoramas, patrol for meteors, or for testing new films, filters, and camera lenses.

  • Accommodates two cameras in the standard configuration.
  • Optional counterweight.
