Vixen Portable equatorial mount Polar Fine Adjustment Unit DX Description
Quick-release clamp is provided on the head of the unit.
The quick-release clamp is on the top of the polar fine adjustment unit DX. It is designed to securely hold a quick release angle plate or attachment plate of the thin standard type. Attaching or removing the plate is convenient as you simply turn a single handle.
An optional dovetail-plate mounting block is available for a versatile use.
As the two M8 thread holes placed at an interval of 35 mm is provided on the head, the quick-release clamp can be exchanged for the dovetail-plate mounting block sold separately. It allows for mounting a Vixen optical tube such as an FL55SS.

The detachable tripod adapter plate is provided on the bottom of the polar fine adjustment unit DX.

Exchanging the tripod adapter with another type as supplied will fit on the tripod head of other Vixen tripods designed for astronomical telescopes.

The mounted camera is tilted from 0 degree (horizontal) to 90 degrees (vertical) freely by loosening the altitude clamp lever. The fine adjustments are available within the range of +/- 7.5 degrees. it is possible to turn the camera to downward as the panhead can be angled exceeding 90 degrees toward the opposite side.
