Dovetail clamp - Vixen GP standard
Looking for a solid and versatile solution for connecting Vixen GP standard dovetail bars to mounts or custom constructions? This dovetail clamp is exactly what you need. Its robust design ensures stable, play-free attachment with minimal vibration - so nothing gets in the way of a perfect observing session or astrophotography shot.
Wide compatibility with Vixen GP dovetail bars
The dovetail clamp compatible with the Vixen GP standard fits all prismatic dovetail bars of this widely used format. Its key advantage is the ability to connect GP bars to mounts or bases that do not natively support this standard - for example the GiRo mount or custom-built systems with a flat mounting base. The clamp dimensions correspond to classic GP/EQ mounts, so mechanical compatibility is guaranteed.
Flat mounting base with 1/4″ photo thread
The clamp features a flat mounting base with two bolt holes spaced 35 mm apart, allowing secure and firm attachment to a variety of surfaces. At the center of the base there is also a 1/4″ photo thread, which makes it easy to mount the clamp on a standard photography tripod - a practical solution for those who want to combine astronomy accessories with conventional camera equipment.
Ideal for DIY builders and GiRo mount users
This part will be especially appreciated by hobbyists and experimenters building or modifying their own astronomy mounts, as well as GiRo mount users looking for a simple way to integrate GP accessories into their system. The universal dovetail clamp for Vixen GP is a small but essential component that significantly expands the possibilities of your equipment and bridges different worlds of astronomy hardware.
