Fantastic. It's everything that's been said by others before my comments here, and just so so much better than the Skywatcher original saddle and especially the vice-like grip bit. However, be warned, if you're to buy one of these for a dual mount such as the AZ-EQ5, once you have fitted your ADM saddle and stand back, you will be faced with the prospect of looking at the rather sad second saddle end of your mount. Inspection "unfortunately" reveals that it will take exactly the same saddle you have just bought and fitted, so there is no "Phew, it's incompatible, so I don't need to spend any more" moment, saving you from yourself. Put simply, I've weakened. What will you do?

Really happy about this item. Changing the original saddle was very easy. The ADM saddle holds my scope very firmly. I would certaily recommend it.

a bit pricey but makes an astronomical difference to the sturdiness of my mount and very high quality and also no more nasty marks from clamping on the dovetail.

I can't believe the difference this makes. It feels like the old saddle was just a bit of sticky tape in comparison. It's a beautiful piece of engineering and I can be certain that the weak link in my mount won't be there. Did he say GRIPS LIKE A VICE? Absoultely! No more of those nasty markings on the dovetail either. Definitely recommended.

IT GRIPS LIKE A VICE!!!!!! The stainless steel guide pins allow you to undo one knob at a time fully, so you don't need to keep going back to turn each knob to a little to free your gear.
Well built, solid as a rock, looks good, GRIPS LIKE A VICE!!!!! oh i've already mentioned that, but it does. Holds all my gear with ease, it looks back at me and says is this it...is this all you've got........GRIPS LIKE A VICE.
