Dear astronomy enthusiasts, we're thrilled to announce the launch of the SVBONY SV225 MINI Alt-Azimuth Mount - engineered for effortless stargazing on the go. Designed with portability, precision, and user-friendliness in mind, this compact mount redefines how beginners and hobbyists explore the night sky.
The A-Z Mount is the most intuitive and easy-to-use telescope support system in astronomy. Unlike complex equatorial mounts, the Alt-Azimuth Mount uses a simple dual-axis movement mechanism of up and down (altitude angle) and left and right (azimuth angle) to simulate the natural way of human observation, making it an ideal choice for beginners and professional observers.
Working principle: The Alt-Azimuth Mount achieves all-round observation through two vertical axes - the vertical axis controls the azimuth (rotation left and right), and the horizontal axis controls the altitude (tilt up and down). This design allows the telescope to be operated as intuitively as using an ordinary camera tripod, without the need to know the complex polar alignment process in advance.
The SVBONY SV225 MINI Alt-Azimuth Mount inherits the ease of use advantage of the traditional Alt-Azimuth Mount, while improving the overall performance through sophisticated design and high-quality materials, allowing entry-level users to also get a professional-level observation experience.
Weighing just 1.5kg and measuring 220×160×80mm, the SV225 MINI features a CNC-machined hollow structure that slips into any backpack or travel case. Whether you're heading to a dark-sky site for a weekend or packing for a cross-country trip, this mount ditches the bulk of traditional setups - no more compromising on observations due to heavy equipment.
Don't let its size fool you: the SV225 MINI packs a 90-tooth dual-axis worm gear system, enabling 360° azimuth rotation and -60° to +60° altitude adjustment. With backlash controlled within 20 arcseconds, tracking the Moon's craters or Jupiter's cloud bands is smoother than ever. Fine-tune your aim with fingertip control, ensuring no detail slips through the scope.
Designed for entry-level telescopes, the SV225 MINI supports up to 5kg - perfect for popular models like Celestron and Skywatcher refractors. The standard UNC 3/8-16 thread interface connects seamlessly to most gear, letting you build a personalized setup without adapters.
A 0° scale marker on the mount's top plate acts as a quick aiming guide, shaving off precious minutes when locating targets. No more fumbling with complex calibrations - just align, adjust, and observe.
Some of you may be familiar with our previous SV225 model, so let's compare them here. The SV225 MINI focuses more on lightness, portability and entry-level experience, weighing only 1.5kg; while the SV225 is relatively heavier, at 2.34kg, and larger in size.
In terms of gear structure, the SV225 MINI is a 90-tooth double-axis worm gear, and the SV225 is a 120-tooth double-axis worm gear. Therefore, if you are a novice enthusiast who often goes out, the SV225 MINI will be a better choice; if you have many devices and pursue extreme stability, the SV225 may be more suitable.
But they can all be paired with the SV225T tripod: SV225 A-Z Mount / SV225 MINI A-Z Mount + SV225T Tripod
If you have always longed to have a portable and accurate warp and weft table, the SV225 MINI is definitely your best choice. Whether you are exploring the mysteries of the vast starry sky or recording the wonderful moments of celestial bodies, it can help you. Come and buy it, and start a new chapter of wonderful astronomical observation with SVBONY!
