Your DSLR and lens bolt to the bar's 1/4-20 thread, the bar drops into your equatorial mount's D-size saddle, and the mount tracks the sky while the camera takes long exposures. Will it fit my mount?It fits any mount with a D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle. If your mount has a smaller Vixen-style saddle, our D-size saddles and conversions upgrade it. Can I aim the camera somewhere other than where the mount points?With the bar's fixed 1/4-20 thread, the camera follows the mount's aim. For independent framing, the ball head camera adapter adds full articulation on top of the dovetail.
