Can this base be mounted to a wheeled platform for ease of moving?

Some people do use a wheeled platform to make moving the XT12g all in one piece. However, other people find moving the base to your observing site and then taking the optical tube out and placing it in the base is easier than dealing with the wheeled platform. You certainly want the scope to be stable when observing and that can be an issue with a wheeled platform.

Mount on mount can be done , BUT the stability is bad and could cause injury. Its a chance I'm not willing to take.

I think your only option is to get a flat dolly and put the base on it and tilt and move it.

Yes but you would have to have the bar move along a track and the unit attached to the bar. I actually built a frame that the unit attached to and then it could be rigged to move the frame

Pretty much designed to be mounted... not something you'd move around easy in my opinion... good luck

Hello,Yes it's possible. Make sure that the base is well secured and tight.

Yes, you'd just need to drill some holes in the base. You could then screw it to anything you wanted to.

The same as someone else responded to however the base is not intended for direct mounting. If you do decide to mount it using the base, I would first glue and screw it to a piece of wood cut to the same size as the base to ensure sufficient support.

No assembly required, to make it portable will be recommended to set it on a wheeled base.

It is possible if you fabricate a mounting bracket.But I like leaving it free so I can use either foot depending on the position I need to be in.

Yes, there are long bolts which go through the bottom mounting plate. They could easily be removed, to allow you to move this wherever you would like.

I don't believe so. The base is smooth and would slide nicely on any surface.

I thyink it would work fine. Mine is quite stable, yet light enough to move as needed.

The stand base is a flexible X, moving as the user requires. I can't imagine that it would not work O.K. as long as the base unit is a generally rectanglar shape as shown in the product picture.

No. However, the rectangular base is quite heavy, making very stable, even when extended out as far as it will go.

You cannot, there are no mounting holes for that. Even if you could though the base doesn't seem strong enough to handle that mounting mechanism.

I don't believe that you would wish to do this very often. It can be done, however, the wheel position requires that it be picked up rather high on the other end in order to roll it.
