Explore Scientific Camera Dovetail Plate – Versatile Mounting for Your Camera

The Explore Scientific Camera Dovetail Plate simplifies attaching cameras to astronomical tripods with a standard Vixen-style saddle plate, ensuring a secure and customizable setup for astrophotography and outdoor photography.

Designed for Easy Camera Mounting
This dovetail plate features three slots to accommodate different camera positions. It comes equipped with a standard ¼-20 bolt for camera attachment and includes a 3/8-16 adapter, commonly used in European setups. Switching between these standards is as simple as unscrewing or reattaching the adapter.

Spring-Loaded Pin for Added Stability
For cameras or camera foot plates requiring additional security, the plate includes a spring-loaded pin. This can be relocated as needed using a 4 mm Allen wrench, ensuring compatibility with a variety of camera setups.

Customizable Configuration

• Adjustable Slots: Move the ¼-20 bolt between slots for optimal positioning.
• Simple Installation: Align the bolt with your camera’s mounting hole and tighten securely. If extra stability is required, adjust the spring-loaded pin for additional pressure.

Step-by-Step Adjustment

• To reposition the ¼-20 bolt, slide it to the wide end of the desired slot, unscrew, and relocate it.
• For the spring-loaded pin, remove the set screw with a 4 mm Allen wrench, carefully remove the spring and pin, and reinstall them in the chosen slot. Ensure the pin is correctly oriented with the silver tip sticking out before tightening the set screw (avoid overtightening to maintain the spring-loaded function).
