Ez Touch mount With Wo110ED
      #2282167 - 03/25/08 07:58 PM

I just ordered this from William Optics. Then I started to wonder if the mount would still be stable with only the WO110 on one side ,without a scope on the other side to balance it. Any comments welcomed. Thanks Tim.

I have owned both in the past. I found that I couldn't carry the scope attached to the mount. The centre of gravity is not over the tripod and it was awkward to carry for me (dodgy back).

I wasn't impressed when it smacked me in the gob

The mount is very stable when in position and will carry the M110 no problem.

Hi, Tim.

EzTouch should be able to handle the load just fine

I use TSA-102S with binoviewer setup on non-Vixen side with
Losmandy mount. It is about 20lb on one side.

I think WO110ED is a little lighter and shorter than TSA-102S.

If you don't like unbalanced, you might just add counter weight on
the other side.
