Does the arm telescope in for shorter loads?

Yes, it does! I frequently adjust my trailer to fit a 6 foot kayak and a 11 foot stand up paddleboard.

It is adjustable but does not scope. There are pre-drilled holes in the three tubes that make up the arm. You align the holes and feed a bolt thru to achieve desired length. You can replace bolts with wire lock pins to make easier adjustments. I only use mine for kayak so i drilled holes where i needed them. Have had no problems. Hope this helped.

Yes, it's adjustable. I have a 12' and a 13.5' that I use it with, it's a great little trailer. Breaks down for easy storage as well. I'd use a bike with gears though, I have a beach cruiser and it's tough going uphill with my boat.

No. It barely can hold its own weight when extended and it doesn't really stay in any position either. Just get a magic arm. Way better

Yes, there is a tension adjustment. Actually two places. The reason I know this is that I got a new monitor and it weighed less than the previous one. The tallest arm has a cap at the top that can be removed to access the bolt. (This may not be where you need to make an adjustment.) The shorter arm (the one the monitor is connected to) has the adjustment screw at the bottom and takes a 4mm hex screw driver.

There is an arm that can be adjusted. You will want to make sure it stays level though.

No, the arm simply slides down over the top of the tripod. It can make for a few squeaks so I'll just occasionally spay a little oil on the connection. This also makes it easy to setup and take down.

I believe the maximum load for the avx is 40 pounds not including weight/ so if ure scope falls under that u shud be fine

No, other than adjusting the tilt of the mirror itself. The arm is fixed in place.

Yes, this is definitely not a portable telescope. Even around the vicinity of my house, I prefer using a wheelbarrow to transport it. You would also have to be very careful while moving it so as to not disturb the starfinder alignment.

In my opinion, No. This is a very cheap, although serviceable, telescope. It is not very big and is not conducive to precise settings. It is just not designed to be a top notch scope. Putting expensive eye pieces on it would not help appreciably, but they certainly would improve the view over the EP that come with the scope.

Simple answer is yes BUT if I understand your goal, I have seen better solutions with an articulating arm. You may want to search that . While this does have a wide range of adjustments , it is not something I would want to do on a regular basis .

Celestron has a list on their site. Check the mount you have, not the telescope.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we recommend that you remove the Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) before attempting to transport the telescope. The base has convenient carrying handles as well.

Yes I have. It is cumberson to use. I have we sties 20 lbs. I can't not seem to adjust it to be short enough. So I use it as best I can but I set the arm pole all the way up as far as possible. It works enough. Not loving it though.

There is a stabilization leg. I believe, but y9ou need to discuss this with the designer, is the strength of the loading arm while extended either in the short, 500#, or the longer, 250# set-up. It is all about lever arm strength to load.

All the images in these make of telescopes are inverted but there are erecting adapters available. I have never used one because they are for refractors and Schmidt Cassegrain. The angle might be a hindrance.

Hi John, It have been a while since i installed it, but i think that the weight of arm and moniterneed the thru the desk top stud. The arm is a high quality piece that works as advertized.

Hello, It does but don't rotate it too far as it will start to unscrew! I use this on two of my telescopes and you can rotate the eyepiece for a more comfortable view as long as you are careful.
