The 10Micron Aries aluminium tripod was designed for use with the GM1000 HPS Mount as well as the Leonardo Binomount. The Aries tripod is the world´s most rigid and most lightweight collapsible tripod.
The position of the binocular can be awkward to look through and can strain your neck when doing astronomical observing. The 10Micron Leonardo BM100 binocular mount helps to solve these problems.
The 10Micron Centaurus II aluminium tripod was designed for use with the GM2000 HPS Mount. However it can also be used with their GM1000 mount with the optional #1451091 GM1000-to-Centaurus II adaptor flange for extra stability and sturdiness.
HPS stands for High Precision and Speed and the GM 1000 HPS mount is an advancement of the known GM 2000 QCI of 10Micron with the same proven mechanics.
