EQ6-R tripod

[Viv 218]

Hi - very stupidly let the husband try to loosen a leg for me - needless to say, he’s stuffed them up. Now can’t extend / retract, the legs to get level.........

I do have a set of HEQ5 legs, so question is - can I put EQ6-R mount, on HEQ5 legs ??

Using a 200 PDS, with guide & cameras. So not pushing the weight side too much...........but it is for imaging.

thanks

Dunno about the HEQ5 legs, but unless you've chronically damaged the tubes you should be able to wind out the clamp and pull the leg out! I think the legs for the HEQ5 are probably similar, though - if memory serves the mounting plate is very similar.

Thanks - it lives outside, Will a heavy duty winter cover. Leg bolts have completely seized .

I’ll give it a go & see.

cheers
