This dovetail clamp is designed to attach the ASIAIR Pro to a Vixen compatible dovetail plate.
1. Remove the original dovetail plate from the ASIAIR PRO.
2. Fix the dovetail clamp to the ASIAIR PRO using the screws from the original dovetail plate
3. It is recommended to put the bolt towards the box side as shown in the photo to not obstruct the USB ports and status indicators.

The build quality is great, as expected.
But ai wanted to mount it to the AsiAir plus on the long axis, i.e, with the silver clamping know below the Asiair.
But you can't, the silver clamping knob's diameter is too large and it sits below the flush of the clamp base, meaning it binds to the AsiAir and can't be tightened.
So, the clamp must be fitted with the knob outside the asiair footprint.
Such a shame, a silly design error IMHO.
Hopefully, Zwo will realise this and make the knob a tad smaller.
So now I begin the hunt for either spacers or an alternative clamp.
Slightly pricey, great quality. 01 June 2022 | John
Bought this to go with the Asiair plus (currently on back order). It looks great and works really well. I tested it on my Star Adventurer 2i (with the dovetail and counterweight fitted) and the 2i was gripped very tightly. Since this is only ever likely to have the Asiair attached, I've no reason to doubt it will fail in any way. Recommended.

Shocked at how fast this was delivered, ordered on a Friday afternoon delivered to Northern Ireland Saturday morning - wel done!

I have an Asiair Pro and had it sat to the side of my RedCat 51 with a Velcro strip. It was adequate but I needed something more sturdy and strong to hold the AAP in place. I then ordered this little clamp and WOW it not only matches the RedCat in colour but it does the job perfectly. I now have it securely attached to my long length dovetail. It’s a strong and secure clamp, well made.

This clamp 'does exactly what it says on the tin' and I have used it to mount the ASIair Pro onto my Redcat51 dovetail.
The product is good quality and machined well. It is effective in mounting ASIair onto my Redcat51 allowing for head on or side on mounting. The colour matches the Redcat well keeping the aesthetics of my rig (obviously important!!).
My only downside it the city of the product. it's slightly pricey for what it is but at least it works and is of good quality.
As always, impeccable service from FLO - cheers!

Received the item after 15 days of transit, Brexit is really a problem!
Will be attaching the item to my asiair pro and redcat 51 this evening! I'm pretty sure it's going to be a good fit 😉
Will try and avoid smaller shipments as the Post office / Postnord isn't a feasible option in my opinion!

ASIAIR Pro Dovetail clamp 05 February 2021 | Jamie
I’ve had my eye on this for a while and had to wait for it to be back in stock, as I expected from ZWO good quality throughout nice colour match as it sits under my Redcat51 dovetail perfectly, I used the screws that came with the ASIAIR Pro which were made for the job. My cable management is now so much better, no more velcro straps for me. I would recommend this clamp to anyone with a Redcat51 looking for a solution to mount their ASIAIR Pro.
The usual great quality but ridiculous design floor! 13 January 2021 | Stephen
Just received one of these little gizmos and out of the box as you would expect, great looking quality. For the price two screws would have been very helpful but what is of much greater concern is the major design fault. There is a recessed cross slot in which you pass the screws to connect to the base or edge of the AApro - all beautifully machined and pretty red but its only possible to mount the AApro in the short axis direction as the telescope vixen mount clamping knob binds on the case of the AApro long before it is tight.I have had to find 8 heavy duty m6 washers and extra length screws to pack it away from the pro body. Such a shame for such a good and needed idea! Perhaps they will send me a freebie when they have done the design tweak!!!
