The APM fork mount is the result of intensive practical tests with Large binoculars. The optimal, soft tracking movements with low vibration, paired with high load capacity are unsurpassed. Due to the special fork shape, the APM fork mount enables free pans up to the zenith. This makes it perfect for both astronomy and nature observation.
Do you have a Kolossus mount but your binoculars are still too low? With this half-column you can increase your setup and observe even more comfortably in the future.
For taller people: Extend the distance between the binoculars and the tripod by another 20 centimeters to observe comfortably while standing
Better in the zenith: If you found it difficult before, you can now observe better in the zenith region
Connect to telescopic tripod: Prefer to connect the Kolossus to an EQ-5 type telescopic tripod? With the half-column this is possible in no time at all.

Anyone who has ever explored the starry sky with a heavy pair of large binoculars will be familiar with the problem: the higher the object is in the sky, the more uncomfortable it becomes to observe. This is exactly where the Artesky V2 parallelogram mount comes in – and it does its job so well that you almost forget the binoculars have any weight at all.
The mount supports instruments weighing up to approx. 7 kg
Optimal balance and free swivelling from the horizon to the zenith
Very well suited for astronomy and landscape observation
3/8" tripod thread (internal thread) on the base, so the mount fits all stable photographic tripods and many astronomical tripods
The binoculars are attached via 1/4" and 3/8" threads. A prism clamp can be easily attached
The scope of delivery includes the mount and counterweight bar – all counterweights for bars with a 20 mm diameter are compatible
