For sale is the ultimate Alt/Az mount. The Half Hitch FTX v2. 

After balancing both axis, this is as smooth an alt/az mount can be. It's quite a special design. The scope in the picture is a 130mm F7.4 (not included) and it handled it easily. I've also used a C8 on the mount and it was great. I understand a C11 is also often used. 

The tripod is not included.

It comes with the dovetail, handle,  and an attachment for a finderscope (not pictured).

$1095 shipped within the Continental US.

These are not being sold anymore and are hard to find.
