ADM Dual Saddle upgrade for EQ5 and CG5 series mounts
Our Price:  £98.00(Inc. 20% VAT)

Model:  adm_eq5_cg5_dual_saddle


The original and BEST dual saddle.

Replaces the standard Skywatcher EQ5 or Celestron CG-5 saddle with a dual-saddle device that enables both the popular Vixen (Skywatcher/Celestron) and Losmandy type dovetails to be mounted directly to the mount.

Manufactured from premium quality black-anodized 6061 aluminium and stainless steel. 

The split clamp design provides an extremely solid locking surface with maximum contact along the entire length of the saddle. Stainless steel guide pins and spring-loaded design maintains the proper dovetail angles.

Just what i needed for my CG5. Can now use my Losmandy equipped Celestron C9.25 plus all my Vixen dovetail scopes.
Also far easier to use than the original saddle.
Only downside was the DEC motor attachment slot was not large enough to accept the M6 bolt. Had to do a small amount of filing....no big deal though.

Brilliant!
I really do wonder how I never had any mishaps with the original saddle, given how much more secure this feels.
The only downside is that 'short' Vixen dovetails, such as fitted to the SW Equinox 120 won't fit - but then this scope deserves a Losmandy-style, anyway...
(whereas my Bresser Messier 152s feels *far* more secure on the 3" dovetail).

Easy to fit, even for a software guy
