With a lot of respect to Charles I'm selling my like new Quarter Hitch with encoders, L bracket and dovetail plate. I own 4 mounts from Charles and I like every one of them. But I think it deserves a new home where it can be actually used. It will be very difficult to find a same one in this condition.
Price includes free shipping from Shanghai, China. Paypal F&F payment or add 3% fee. Thanks for looking.
Below is quoted from Charle's AD here:
* All CNC machined from aircraft alloys for precision, strength, and beauty. Mounts made from castings and plastic parts can not compare!
* Cross-braced design weighs only 4.9 pounds but delivers uncommon rigidity.
* Solid, conservative capacity for a 105 mm triplet APO, 6-inch Newtonian, 150 mm Mak-Cass, 8-inch SCT, or 100 mm angle-view binoculars (using optional bracket). A perfect match for the new TEC 110!
* Ultra-smooth, ultra-responsive motion controls. Zero backlash and no starting friction. Sweep fast or track slowly -- one knob per axis.
* No counterweights, clutches to adjust, or locks to engage. Free motion on demand. The Quarter Hitch uniquely combines free motion with slow-motion controls.
* Two-axis balancing eliminates annoying balance shifts as you rotate your scope up and down. No clamping or added friction needed! Maintains light, smooth movements with binoviewers and heavy eyepieces.
* Engraved scales for presetting balance positions. Built-in bubble level.
* True caliper disc brake on the altitude axis keeps your scope on-target when changing eyepieces.
* Dovetail system with vise-like jaws. Easy straight-in loading. Dovetail plate included.
* Preloaded roller bearings and precision ground, stainless steel shafts for shake-free support and effortless pointing.
* Handsome, durable anodized finished highlights the exquisite machining.
* Tripod-friendly centerline load position -- stable and fast damping.
* Excellent tripod clearance. No column extension needed. Save weight. Save money.
* Horizon and zenith stops protect your scope.
* Optional finder bracket attaches your finder directly to the saddle. Use your favorite finder for all your scopes and binoculars. Optimal positioning.
* Optional Balance Trimmer easily compensates for differences in eyepiece weights in seconds without tools.
* New encoder option including machined housings and folding DSC bracket.
* Built only in limited quantities for personal attention to detail.
