Most Helpful Positive Review Celestron Omni CG-4 Mount
I bought this mount for my 102 mm long focus (F11) refractor. The OTA weighs over 12 pounds and with 2 inch diagonal, guide scope, 2 inch eyepiece, etc. its weight is closer to 15 pounds. Moreover, the tube is well over 40 inches in length with dewcap extended, focuser and diagonal, so it produces a...

Most Helpful Negative Review Suspected soft mount inner thread
Unknown alloy on inner threads of mount. Mine have vanished, and no longer hold my mount to the Tripod. Can you imagine your precious scope riding on something that may eventually fail and you scope comes crashing to the ground? Fortunately mine did not have a scope on it when I discovered this. I...

WOW What A Great Mount!

by John, from MI, United States Written on January 14, 2021
I just received this mount and could not believe my eyes. For the money, I thought I was going to get a camera type mount. This thing is as professional as you can get for telescopes up to 20 pounds. It is so stable. I have been in retail and product designing and cannot understand how they could sell this mount for so little money. There was a small problem in the instruction manual, it was not always clear on some of the parts and how to put the mount together. The CD (that came with it) and pictures of the different style scopes aided me. The telescope mount attachment point is truly universal. For those who want to use this mount for land viewing, remove the counter weight shaft and you can set the mount to zero.
Pros:
  • The high quality
Cons:
  • The instruction manual
Best Used for:
  • telescopes and cameras
Would recommend: Yes

Celestron Omni CG-4 EQ mount

by sparky, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on May 20, 2016
Great mount for my C5. Very sturdy for this size scope. Only downfall there is no carrying case. New to astronomy and wanted to get the basics of finding stars, and planets without relaying on a computer to do it for me for a rewarding experience. So far this has been easy to use with the help of a few books from my local library. Also purchased the motor control, and anti vibration pads which almost eliminates the vibration from using the slow motion hand controls.
Pros:
  • easy to use and setup
Cons:
  • no carrying case
Best Used for:
  • astronomy so far, not enough time (6 days) to test everywhere yet
Would recommend: Yes

Sturdy Mount

by sparky, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on May 13, 2016
Very durable and sturdy mount for my Celestron C6, easy to balance. Polar finder could use a 45 or 90 degree diagonal to find Polaris so you're not on your knees to align. Would recommend this for the price point.
Would recommend: Yes

Nice simple mount

by Bill V, from MD, United States Written on January 11, 2015
A nice sturdy mount for this price. Simple to assemble. Easy controls. I would recommend purchasing a polar alignment scope and possibly an RA motor if you are going to be using it for any serious amateur astronomy.
Would recommend: Yes

Metallurgists

by Phil, from TX, United States Written on September 5, 2014
Good mount for the price paid. No cons. Celestron C5 works well on the mount. Remove the counterweight bar and the latitude can be set to 0 for easy terrestrial viewing. The quick assembly and breakdown makes it easy for travel.
Would recommend: Yes

Celestron Omni CG4 Equatorial Mount

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on April 2, 2012
I'm using this mount with a C90 Mak. I leave it in my garage and bring it out on clear nights. For experimenting with lunar photography, it provides a very sturdy, predictable, mount (far more enjoyable than the shaky camera tripods I used to use).
Pros: Sturdy, smooth, easy to use with a variety of telescopes
Cons: Rather heavy
Would recommend: Yes

CG-4 Mount

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner Written on March 29, 2012
I use this mount with a 5 in short tube refractor. (127 Explore Scientific.) Nice Ballance between portability and mass. Setting rings are cheezy, but never intended to use them with this set up. Any more scope than this would need more mount.
Pros: Solid tripod. slow motion controls smooth
Cons: setting rings useless
Would recommend: Yes

Easy, Sturdy Tripod and Mount

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner Written on December 28, 2011
I wanted an easy, run out of the house and set it up in the driveway tripod. I have a computerized tripod for my sct6 scope and at times it too time comsuming for a quick look at the moon or planets. With this tripod it easy to use and my c90 also works well with it.
Pros: easy set up, and sturdy
Would recommend: Yes

Surprised By The Quality

by Legacy Reviewer, from WA, United States Written on October 27, 2011
I purchased a new Vixen E80MF refractor for cheap and I wanted a sturdy mount that was reliable but not as expensive as the Vixen. --One that would support a larger telescope in the near future. I couldn't be happier. The Vixen dovetail drops right onto the Omni and locks down. For a few hundred bucks total I got a totally righteous combination. It's a sharp looking system too. The mount is smooth as silk with zero play. The tripod is steel tubing and the heavy center tray locks the three legs into position via a large threaded rod. The rod passes up through the tripod and locks down the base of the mount. I think I will go ahead and purchase the R. A. motor for it.
Pros: Sturdy and incredibly stable mount. I have not seen this level of quality for the price.
Cons: None worth mentioning.
Would recommend: Yes
