Universal Astronomics T-Mount Light

The T-Mount Light is the most affordable parallelogram mount in the Universal Astronomics product line. It shares the precision, all-aluminum construction and ultra-smooth teflon bearings of the Unimounts. The standard version comes with four degrees of motion - for maximum flexibility, consider the Light Ultra-Swing Hinge option to add a 5th degree of motion. The T-Mount Light is essentially a shorter, more compact versions of the Unimount Light. This allows the T-Mount to carry more weight (15 lbs.), but at the cost of a narrower range of motion. The T-Mount Light is an affordable choice for all of our binoculars, as well as being a compact alternative to the Unimounts. The T-Mount light is an excellent choice for our 10-lb. Gemini 25x100 WP-IF, 30x100 WP-IF, and 15x85 HD-WP and 22x85 HD-WP Signature series binoculars.

We recommend either our Series 5000 Tripod with crank-adjustable center column (26-lb. capacity), or the Light-Duty Surveyor Tripod (30-lb. capacity) for most uses, and the Medium-Duty Surveyor Tripod (40-lb. capacity) for use with heavier binoculars or when maximum stability is desired. The Bogen 028B or the Series 5000 are a good choice for use with 90mm and smaller binoculars when light weight is important. Our standard L-adapter is required for use with binocular without a center post. We recommend the adjustable guide handle and ultra-swing hinge options for reclining "lawn chair" viewing.
