Modified Feet
The odd "Flying Saucer" feet on the Mead mount didn't please me; they tend to sink into soft ground, and they aren't adjustable to allow for leveling the telescope. I fabricated BIG feet (6" x 6" x 3/8" aluminum plate) and drilled out the saucer feet to take a long bolt. Adjustment with an open ended wrench allows leveling.
