They didn't mention how heavy this contraption would be.

Great news! I was just thinking of upgrading the mount for my C8! At last I won't need to worry if the mount is solid enough if I mount my Megrez on too ....

Hi,
I think the mount is for those who want to put in an observatory... the mount alone is already 329 pounds exclude counter-weight!!!

Have a nice day.

Can buy a cheap Renault traffic van and do this. But might not be able to enter certain car parks due to height restrictions.

Also, I don't think LTA allow this.
