Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Orion Min-EQ Tabletop Equatorial Telescope Mount
Customer Review: Great entry level EQ mount
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great for a single camera or a small optical scope. You can get a bushing to mount ball-heads instead of directly to the camera. Steep learning curve but not as steep as it can get!
Cons: Wish it had a polar scope. You need a very stable surface. Wood or metal picnic table will not do. Wish it had a carrying case.
