Product Description

Most dovetail plates can only satisfy a small number of predetermined attachments because there are a few build-in holes tapped into them. The Askar new narrow dovetail plate will allow much more potential attachments with its newly-designed holes and slots.

Sometimes you may find your tube rings or guiding rings can not fit the holes of some stock dovetail plates. In order to solve these awkwardness and inconvenience for our customers, Askar upgrades its Vixen-style dovetail plate. The slots drilled along or vertical to the length provide more possible spacing so the users may have more options and versatility in practical attachments. And more holes are tapped into the plate for the attachment of tube rings, guiding rings or cameras and other accessories that function with a tripod. They all can be easily connected to this Vixen-style narrow dovetail plate. Besides, the dovetail itself also fits the Vixen-style equatorial mounts.

There is a hole at the front and back end of the dovetail plate. Thread two screws respectively into the holes when placing the dovetail plate on an equatorial mount. This protecting system can effectively prevent the plate and the equipment attached onto it from slipping away.

The Askar Vixen-style universal dovetail plate is an ideal helper for rigorous and secure connection and placement. It caters to many attachments of accessories or optical apparatus that come with different dimensions or designs. This VDP150 model is 150mm long.

Extremely Sturdy Vixen Dovetail

The quality of the Aluminium machining is superb. The bottom “core” of the plate is milled out to decrease weight, but it has a thick support beam across the centre to keep strength. Lots of mounting slots, where as some other dovetails only have a central slot that runs the length of the dovetail. This one has slots that are perpendicular to the main central slot.

If I had to order another dovetail. I would order a longer version of this one.
