BAADER PAN 3"/EQ CLAMP, 370 mm, DUAL FOR LOSMANDY & VIXEN STYLE DOVETAILS

Saddle plate for maximum load but smooth movement (balancing the telescope)

• Clamps all 3" (Losmandy) and EQ (Vixen/Celestron/Skywatcher) dovetails - minimum dovetail length 190 mm
• It is equipped with all the known fastening holes to be screwed on all mounts and all tube rings of the known brand manufacturers.
• Optimised shape for as many contact points of the dovetail bar - thus a perfect grip
• Surface clamping via brass clamping jaws, operated by stainless steel screws - gentle and durable
• Stainless steel inserts in the screw heads allow for tightening with a 5 mm Allen wrench
• Length: 370 mm, max. width: 153 mm, weight: 1500 g

One of the best dovetail clamps we know. The manufacturing quality is excellent. The clamp is built for the heaviest loads and still allows a sensitive adjustment to bring the telescope into balance. The length makes balancing easier, often making a running tube weight unnecessary.

At the front end, a tangential mount (for example Stronghold) can be attached and allows starfield imaging without photographing the telescope tube.

The three clamping knobs are dimensioned so that the dovetail clamp can be mounted on flat surfaces without the knobs getting in the way. The clamping can then be done with a 5 mm Allen key.
