I made the order Monday this week and today Wednesday it already arrived here in Denmark. Very fast delivery! About the product this dovetail bar is a perfect match for my 114/500 Skywatcher SkyHawk newtonian telescope. I also bought 140mm tube rings for easy balancing of the OTA with a DSLR camera attached to the focuser.

Balancing my SW 72ED on its original bar was impossible for astrophotography without adding weight to the scope, and I didn't want to drill my other SW bar. After advice from FLO I chose the 11" dovetail bar, it is very solid and withe the ADM saddle upgrade it makes everything very secure. Balance is now perfect. Adds a few grams but no worries with that, more than made up for by the benefits.

The dovetail bar that I was using with the Skywatcher AZ-GTI mount was a bit on the short side so with a DSLR camera and a heavy TeleVue PowerMate at one end the 80mm refractor it was connected to was badly unbalanced. The 11" ADM has a flat base,which suited the mount so though it was more costly than bars of a similar length but different profile I thought it was worth the money. My set-up is now perfectly balanced but with much greater flexibility to suit other combinations of eyepiece/camera etc. Service from FLO excellent as always.

I bought the 11" to use in a Baader dual saddle, where the clamps are about 7" apart. Top quality from ADM as usual, and the service from FLO is 1st class.

FLO were quick to swap out to the smaller 11 inch version when I contacted them about the correct size. Fitted perfectly to the ED80 and has provided more options for balance in DEC. As an added bonus the existing dovetail can be mounted on top if required.

FLO's service and help is first class. I was recommended this dovetail to help me balance a Skywatcher Evostar 72ED on the dec axis. Neither the dovetail supplied with the telescope or mount were able to achieve balance with the weight of a DSLR and Field Flattener, but this has the length and flexibility to do so. I was a little apprehensive to spend quite so much extra to complete the setup, but it does the job, it's a solid piece of aluminium and should give me plenty of options and flexibility for the future too.

Simple item, but very important to be right. Very well machined quality dovetail made to close tolerances. Good quality fittings too. Perfect fit and good finish.
Great!! Enough fixing holes and screws too.

I bought the 7" bar to use with my Borg 89ED scope. Came supplied with 8 screws of two different lengths.
