The Grab ‘n Go Alt-Azimuth Concept Perfected
Like a modern bicycle, the Half Hitch is high-tech perfection of a simple, elegant concept that stands timelessly because it is so natural. Not laced with gimmicks, the Half Hitch provides the tools you need to observe effortless and without distraction. And like the perfect bicycle, it welds itself to your mind and body, becoming an extension of your instincts.
A telescope can be no better than the mount. Among grab ‘n go alt-azimuth mounts, the Half Hitch is in a class by itself, featuring motion controls that give you the ability to track continuously with one fingertip. There are no fussy adjustments – only observing controls.
Some mounts are built to be cheap. The Half Hitch is built to be the best. In the same way that a modern triplet fluorite lens perfects the refracting telescope, the Half Hitch perfects the alt-azimuth mount. Don't be disappointed because you skimped on one critical component.
The Half Hitch delivers the true economies of top-notch performance, reliable operation, and lasting satisfaction. In terms of quality and features, the Half Hitch is an elite product that is built only in very limited numbers to insure personal attention to detail and personalized customer support. But the Half Hitch is also easy to operate and maintain so that any novice astronomer seeking high quality equipment can quickly master and use it to full advantage. Try the Half Hitch and discover the telescope mount you’ve always wished you had. |
