The Explore FirstLight EXOS Nano is a lightweight, manually-controlled German equatorial mount designed for small telescopes and portable astrophotography setups. This mount accepts telescopes up to 15 pounds equipped with Vixen-style dovetail bars, making it ideal for refractors, compact Maksutov-Cassegrains, and short Newtonian reflectors like the popular ED80mm. The package includes a sturdy 1.25-inch steel ST1 tripod with adjustable legs and a built-in accessory tray, providing a complete grab-and-go solution that weighs only 10 pounds (excluding counterweight) and collapses compactly for transport.
