I use a similar one on my Manfrotto tripod.

 

Thats good to know that they can handle the weight. Nice!

My Celestron 4SE Mount failed on me the other day so i want something smaller with a motor. I havent had the time over the last 6-7 years and technology has moved on loads since. So im replacing the mount for the Manfrotto and using the newer tech for tracking. Should be a nice little setup for me.

Ah OK

Do you mean you want a vixen saddle with a photo screw threaded hole in it like one of these.

Hey bud, i need a femaile vixen which sits on that screw. Like a female screw toa female vixen type thing. Cant find them anywhere

Good Evening Folks, Hope everyone is well in these times.

Im about to hit the buy button for a iOptron SkyGuider Pro but im having to find a converter mount for the vixen type on the SkyGuider.

What i mean by this is i want to connect it to my Manfrotto tripod which has the camera screw as standard but i want to convert that to the vixen so i can mount the iOptron. Saves me getting another tripod.

Hope you guys can help me out as a google search seems to bring out vixen to dslr mount. 

Cheers all
