Sky-Watcher adapter for EQ-2 mounts with large photo screw
Do you have a Sky-Watcher EQ-2 mount and a telescope or camera equipped with a shoe instead of standard rings? Then this adapter is exactly what you are looking for. A simple and reliable bridge with a large photo screw allows you to connect your optics to the mount effortlessly, without any modifications.
Who is this adapter designed for?
Many telescopes - especially compact refractors, travel models or spotting scopes - are not equipped with standard rings but instead feature a photographic shoe (dovetail shoe type or a direct foot with a photo screw). This is precisely the kind of equipment this Sky-Watcher EQ-2 adapter with photo screw is designed for. Thanks to the large 1/4″ photo screw, you can attach both a telescope with a shoe and a conventional camera to the mount - for example for astrophotography on an equatorial mount.
Expanding the versatility of your EQ-2 mount
The EQ-2 equatorial mount is a popular choice among beginner astronomers and nature photographers alike. This adapter extends its usability and allows it to be used with a wider range of optical equipment. Whether you want to mount a compact spotting scope, a small refractor with a photographic shoe, or a camera for tracking objects along the hour axis, this bridge with a large photo screw is a quick and elegant solution - no special tools or complex assembly required.
Easy installation, stable connection
Installation is straightforward: the adapter is attached to the head of the EQ-2 mount, and the large photo screw provides a firm and stable hold for your device. The result is a rigid connection that does not affect the tracking accuracy of the mount or the comfort of observation.
