After extensive redesign and retooling the NEW Portaball is here accepting orders beginning June 2008.
"The 8-inch Portaball is designed to deliver outstanding visual imagery in a compact, lightweight, and highly transportable scope featuring quick setup and knock down. In transit, the upper tube assembly packs into the fibreglass sphere, and the tubes are stored in their own container. This allows the entire telescope to easily fit on a single seat of any vehicle."
