Home Mounts & Tripods Mount Accessories Explore Scientific Universal Camera Dovetail Kit
The Explore Scientific camera dovetail rail is made of die-cast aluminium. The dovetail-shaped mounting rail is 45 mm wide (similar to the Vixen dovetail style) and 280 mm long. The matt black anodized surface has a laser engraved scale on one side with a fine graduation with 2 mm increments. This makes it easier to determine the center of gravity when placing the camera on the mounting head. To protect the clamping surface there is a stainless steel clamping plate on the opposite side. The dovetail plate is equipped with rubber inserts at 3 positions. This allows a secure mounting of the camera equipment and prevents unintentional slipping and twisting. The mounting rail has a screw fastening with 1/4 inch photo thread, which is suitable for almost all commercially available camera systems. The screw attachment can be used in 3 different elongated hole positions to adjust a perfect balance. In addition, an adapter from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch photo thread is also included, so that ball heads with the larger thread version can also be used directly. The camera mounting rail weighs only 250 grams. UNIVERSALSuitable for all mounts that accept the popular Synta Vixen-GP dovetail rail.

Excellent product. This universal dove tail kit is of a really good standard. I purchased it to secure Celestron 20x80 SkyMaster binoculars to a Skywatcher AZ Pronto mount. It does the job perfectly & now they are perfectly stable for viewing the night sky. They were delivered as promised. Excellent Service. (28/02/2021) Chris T . - Birmingham UK
