摘要： An optical mounting device is disclosed that enables an optical device to be pointed in the desired orientation with minimal effort between a horizontal and a vertical position. The device includes a yoke, a saddle, and a payload platform assembly. The device can lock the position of the optical device into a desired orientation. The payload platform assembly has a lower base that is coupled to the saddle and an extendable upper section attached to a rotation pivot guide that allows the upper section to rotate up to 90 degrees from horizontal landscape orientation to a vertical portrait orientation.
