This is a handy little gadget. I’m using it in conjunction with a finder shoe to attach an ASIAIR Pro to the underside of a dovetail bar that’s mounting a Redcat 51. It works very well. The only reason for knocking off a star is that on my William Optics dovetail bars the grip it provides isn’t as tight as it could be. Not too much of an issue as the ASIAIR is quite light. I resolved this by removing the springs that sit between the jaw and base to give the screws further inward travel. On other makes of dovetail bar it seems secure. Recommended.
