Omegon dovetail bar for attaching cameras to EQ mounts
Looking for a simple and reliable way to attach a camera, spotting scope, small telescope or finder scope to your astronomy mount? The Omegon bar in the Vixen standard is exactly what you need. It is a compact yet sturdy solution that will be appreciated by both beginner astrophotographers and experienced observers who want to quickly and safely connect various devices to their mount.
Vixen standard bar - universal compatibility
The Vixen dovetail bar is designed to the standard width of 1.75″ (44 mm), making it a universal companion for the vast majority of mid-sized astronomy mounts available on the market. The 120 mm length provides enough room for balancing and comfortable attachment of various instruments. The central screw with a 1/4″ thread and a length of 20.5 mm ensures a firm and secure connection with cameras and other optical devices equipped with a standard photographic thread - practically anything you carry into the field.
Low profile and lightweight design
The bar height is just 13 mm, so it does not unnecessarily raise the center of gravity of the assembly. The total weight of 135 g is low enough to avoid placing any significant burden on the load capacity of the mount. This matters especially when every gram counts for proper balancing. The bar is suitable for attaching cameras, spotting scopes, small telescopes and finder scopes - essentially anything with a standard photographic thread or that can otherwise be firmly secured to the bar.
Flexible use in the field
The universal Vixen bar for astrophotography is ideal wherever you want to flexibly combine different devices on a single mount. Whether you are shooting landscapes with a telescope as a lens, watching birds with a spotting scope on a parallactic mount, or looking for the best way to add a finder scope to your setup - this bar provides a stable foundation without compromise. Simple operation and standardized dimensions mean you can mount and adjust it in moments, even in the field under poor lighting conditions.
A reliable choice for your setup
If you are building your observing or photography setup step by step and want to be sure that individual components will work together, choosing the proven Vixen standard is the most sensible approach. This Omegon bar gives you exactly that confidence - solid materials, standard dimensions and a practical length for comfortable balancing.
