This Big Dovetail Clamp Vixen+Losmandy PLUS for AZ-EQ5 allows to install Vixen or Losmandy type dovetail bars on Skywatcher HEQ5 telescopes mounts. It includes both the big dovetail clamp Vixen+Losmandy PLUS and the adapter for the AZ-EQ5 type mount. You will have a better connection than with the original AZ-EQ5 clamp. This dual clamp offers greater stability, and the larger knobs provide more comfortable and secure installation of the telescope.

The Skywatcher AZ-EQ5 mount has got only a Vixen type dovetail clamp, but thanks to our dual Losmandy and Vixen dovetail clamp, the user will be able to use both of them. Now you will no longer need to replace the plate of your optical tube, so your AZ-EQ5 will be universal like the most expensive and higher specification mounts!

Our dovetail clamp, therefore suitable for medium loads, is made from a full aluminum block T6061 and red anodized to resist weathering. The installation on the Skywatcher AZ-EQ5 is done by replacing the original upper flange with a new flange (supplied with the dovetail clamp) that enables the installation of either Vixen or Losmandy type dovetail bars. The operation is very simple, just remove the original flange, secured by three small grabscrews (wormscrews), place the new flange and secure it with the wormscrews.
