The Half-Hitch Is a Versatile Multi-Purpose Workhorse

The Half Hitch has the strength to scale upward in load but is also lightweight and streamlined so that it can conveniently scale downward in load and tripod.  Many mounts claim to be grab 'n go, but few really are.  From nature study to astronomy, you will be amazed by all the applications you will find for the versatile Half Hitch!

The essence of grab 'n go — an 80 mm APO refractor on a Half Hitch and a KB Systems K1002 tripod:  This entire rig with eyepiece and diagonal weighs just 21 pounds, and its compact dimensions are easy to handle — making it a versatile, nature-watching dynamo.

This compact, lightweight rig is kept handy for frequent prominence checks.

 

 

Efficient DSO Rig:  Half Hitch with 6-inch SCT — very solid and very mobile.  This rig makes a nice deep-sky complement to an APO refractor, giving more observing options for specific tasks.  Want more light?  The Half Hitch can also handle an 8-inch SCT.
