●Wide Compatibility (43–70mm)
Supports guide scopes and finders with tube diameters from 43mm to 70mm, making it suitable for a wide range of small to medium-sized instruments. Offers excellent compatibility with many telescopes, ideal for astrophotography guiding.
●Durable Metal Construction & CNC Precision
Both the rings and bracket are made of sturdy metal. Thanks to CNC machining, the parts feature high precision, minimizing wobble or distortion when mounted and ensuring stable performance even during long-exposure imaging.
●Protective Knobs & Screws
Adjustment screws come with large, easy-to-grip knobs, making them convenient to operate even with gloves on. In addition, the screw tips are lined with protective materials such as nylon (Teflon), helping prevent scratches on the guide scope body.
●Multiple Mounting Options
The bracket includes a dovetail (Vixen-style) bar for standard finder base slide-in mounting. The central section is equipped with a 1/4""-20 screw hole, both sides feature M8×1.25 threads, and additional M6 through-holes are provided. This allows versatile attachment to dovetail plates and universal mounts.
