Omegon® Pro Kolossus mount
The Omegon Kolossus is a parallelogram mount for large binoculars. When using it to observe stars, it feels
almost as if your binoculars are weightless and floating in the air. This is achieved with a three-part swivel arm,
360-degree rotation, and a mechanism that allows you to perfectly balance your binoculars.

1.2.1 Assembly:
⚠️
Please be
very careful when assembling and operating the Kolossus mount! There are
many gaps in the frame that you can put your fingers through.
In some places you risk
pinching your fingers.
This is especially the case when the transportation safety locks are
open, but the mount has not yet been balanced with the counterweights.
Therefore, please ensure the transportation locks are closed before you begin (picture below
left).

It is best to grip the mount by the (still) stowed counterweight bar when lifting it out of the carrying bag. You can put the L-
bracket and, if necessary, the counterweights aside for now.
