Heavy-duty pre-assembled stainless steel tripod Center brace/accessory tray 7 lbs and 4 lbs counterweights Telescope is comparably light​ Review: Good solid GE mount that doesn't break your back - Good, reasonable balance between portability and stability from a reputable company Review: I don't hate equatorial mounts any more! - Never cared for equatorial mounts during my five decades in this hobby, but I needed something sturdy enough to hold my new 4" F/7 refractor. After looking at the competition's Alt-Az mounts, and reading that they may be stretched to their weight limits with this scope, I opted for this CG-4, which had a slightly higher load rating. Fit and finish is perfect, and the movements are smooth with no slop. The inner workings appear to be well-machined and tight. It handles the weight of the 4" refractor (equipped with a 2" diagonal, Baader Zoom eyepiece, and 8x50 finderscope, and 7 lb counterweight) as if it were specifically built for this setup. Smooth, steady, solid, yet light enough I can carry the assembled setup around the yard when necessary. I don't actually use the setting circles as they are too small for my taste. but I do roughly align the mount with Polaris when using it. Close enough for tracking purposes. I starhop to my target using a paper charts, then tighten the clutches and use the slow-motion cables to track as long as I want. The only negative I can say is that you cannot 'lay down' this mount to use in an alt-azimuth mode, which is what I'd originally planned to do. But after using it in EQ mode, I really have no qualms about that. Well-made, delivers as advertised, and I look forward to years of service using this mount. Darn near perfect for what I need it for. ## Features - SUPERIOR STABILITY - The CG-4 German Equatorial Mount features a robust stainless steel tripod with 1.75" diameter legs, minimizing vibrations for clear, steady views during observation sessions. - ENHANCED WEIGHT CAPACITY - Supports up to 20 lbs (9.07kg) of optical equipment, making it ideal for a wide range of telescopes, ensuring secure and stable performance with heavier loads. - PRECISE ADJUSTABILITY - Equipped with manual slow-motion controls on both axes, allowing for fine adjustments and accurate tracking of celestial objects, enhancing the viewing experience. - PORTABLE DESIGN - The tripod's adjustable height range of 33-47" (83.8-119.3cm) and manageable weight of 12.5 lbs (5.66kg) make it easy to transport and set up in various observing locations. - DURABLE CONSTRUCTION - Crafted with stainless steel and steel tripod legs, this mount is built to withstand rigorous use and environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting reliability and performance. - EASY SETUP - Features a user-friendly design that allows for quick and straightforward assembly, so you can spend less time setting up and more time exploring the night sky with ease and efficiency. - No further features available. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0033GD9CO | | Additional Features | Heavy-duty weight capacity and German Equatorial Mount design | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Best Sellers Rank | #752 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | Celestron | | Built-In Media | Celestron CG-4 German Equatorial Mount and Tripod | | Coating | StarBright XLT | | Compatible Devices | Telescope | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 93 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 0.84 millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | StarBright XLT | | Field Of View | 2.8 degrees | | Focal Length Description | 942.5 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234915090 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 17.4"D x 17.4"W x 10.6"H | | Item Weight | 7 kg | | Manufacturer | Celestron International | | Manufacturer Part Number | 91509 | | Model Name | 91509 | | Model Number | 91509 | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Number of Batteries | Nonstandard Battery batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Dimensions | 17.4"D x 17.4"W x 10.6"H | | Telescope Mount Description | Equatorial Mount | | UPC | 050234915090 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited Warranty | | Zoom Ratio | 50 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Compatible Devices:** Telescope - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** StarBright XLT - **Focus Type:** Manual Focus - **Item Weight:** 7 kg - **Model Name:** 91509 - **Number of Batteries:** Nonstandard Battery batteries required. - **Power Source:** Manual - **Product Dimensions:** 17.4"D x 17.4"W x 10.6"H - **Telescope Mount Description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![CG-4 Manual German Equatorial Mount with Steel Tripod - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cIzoOrdtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solid GE mount that doesn't break your back *by S***L on May 22, 2026* Good, reasonable balance between portability and stability from a reputable company ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't hate equatorial mounts any more! *by B***1 on October 23, 2023* Never cared for equatorial mounts during my five decades in this hobby, but I needed something sturdy enough to hold my new 4" F/7 refractor.

It was on sale, $70 off, or I prolly wouldn't have bought it. I figured out I could use 2 dovetails & swap out my refractor & my Dob so it is a 'quick change' mount. I'm ill, on disability so I haven't been able to use it as much as I'd like. The few times I used it I got very steady, stable viewing, which is what I wanted it for. So nice to see Saturn rock steady in the eyepiece & turn the slo-mo knob to keep it in view. I hope to scope Orion soon, weather permitting & I want to try some DSOs. I'm happy w/ this mount. Astronomy gear is usually high-dollar, like its 'carriage trade' or only for those wealthy enough. If you can afford it I recommend the Celestron CG-4 mount. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron CG-4 German Equatorial Mount and Tripod - SVBONY SV503 Refractor Telescope, 102mm F7 Extra Low Dispersion Achromatic Refractor OTA, Dual-Speed Focuser, 90mm Back Focus, Telescope for Adults High Powered, for Deep Sky Planets Astrophotography - SVBONY SV188P Dielectric Mirror Star Diagonal, 90 Degree Mirror Diagonal, 99% Reflectivity Dielectric Coatings with Brass Compression Rings (1.25 inch) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/2842142-cg-4-manual-german-equatorial-mount-with-steel-tripod](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/2842142-cg-4-manual-german-equatorial-mount-with-steel-tripod) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
