## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there an adaptor so i can use my nikon p1000 on the mount ?**
A: i know there is a dovetail point to mount your telescope but I'm not sure if it will handle a camera as is. may need a mod with a ¼ 20 screw post.

**Q: can you add a motor drive to this for tracking?**
A: This is a very affordable and useful EQ mount. It is relatively light, feels solid, easy to operate and move around. Unfortunately, I don't think you can add a motor drive to it.

**Q: Can this tripod be used with binoculars?  If so, aside from a binoc mounting bracket, any thing else necessary to make it work with binocs.**
A: The mount accepts a vixen style dovetail bracket. It attaches on the side, unlike binoculars which are bottom mounted. I’m not positive, but I don’t think it will work with binoculars.

**Q: Will this handle a 6" newtonian with dslr? And can you put an RA motor on it?**
A: FirstLight EXOS Nano supports 14-15 lbs load. As for its motorizing capability, I have not considered it, so please check with Explore Scientific. Keep in mind the "Nano" is a $99.99 mount, so in my opinion it is a good value product for what it does. Mounts of any better quality and function escalate in price very fast.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A well made and engineered inexpensive product
*by D***E on May 19, 2025*

I just got this today and it appears to be a well made and engineered inexpensive product. Although I bought it specifically to take my 70mm scope with me on travels, it also just supports my 90mm scope with the supplied counterweight. It was easy enough to assemble...yes, as some here have said...the instructions are rather thin---if this is your first rodeo with an EQ mount. So that motion about the axes is not hindered...the RA and DEC clamp knobs are spring-loaded so that you can change where the long side of the knob goes and the RA knob can be placed on either side of the mount. Thin shafts and plastic parts? Sure. What can you expect for $130? Just don't try to reef them into submission and you'll do just fine with it for years to come. It may be rated for a 15-pound load...but like any other EQ mount...you'll probably run into issues if you try to max it out. My only two complaints are (1) I'd rather have both slow-mo knob shafts to be the length of the shorter one...no big deal, and (2) I'd rather have black text on light background for the setting circles (but maybe I'll change my mind after dark). Still 5-stars!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ first light EXOS nano tripod
*by C***K on November 18, 2024*

Seems to be of good quality. Nice and solid. Knobs and locks seem adequate. Slo-mo controls very smooth. Tripod sturdy. Paint job is good. My ONLY issue is latitude adjustment is very tight. Good going up, not very smooth going down. I usually have to help it. Might just need to work in. Lube didn't seem to help. Hopefully it'll get better, if not, I can live with it. But, over-all, happy with my purchase .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than expected build construction, but...
*by R***D on August 5, 2024*

Overall this has better build construction that I was expected. The design is simplified and mostly sturdy. When I added a 7.5lb weight (because the included weight can't balance my 15 lb scope), the mount wasn't as sturdy and had some wobble even with slight touches -- the wobble isn't terrible though, so it's more of an fyi. One other thing to consider is it's not that tall, so if you don't have a scope with an angled finder scope, good luck at finding stuff more than 45 degrees up.Although I was mostly surprised by how much I liked this mount, there is one major thing that bugs me... the control knobs fasten to the scope with screws that easily come loose all the time. This is a huge design flaw in an otherwise mostly excellent design for the price.At $129.99 I would definitely recommend this mount -- just be aware of the control knob screws!
