Both looks good and both use Manny mounts.
The Portamount is currently on back order.
Thanks!

I have a voyager that my TV85 rides on very nicely even without MM's mods. I did get an AT eyepiece tray for it and swapped out the original tripod for a CG5 tripod. Easy to slew in all directions as it is and with the upgraded tripod it's firmly planted on the ground with the EP at a higher position. The TV85 can be rotated in the ring to keep the focuser in the normal position.
