can a heq5 tripod be used with a star adventurer

[iwols]

just wondered if the above can be  used together or is there an adapter as my camera tripod is no where near as sturdy as the heq5 tripod would be thanks

Think this is what you are looking for.

perfect thanks  john

just not sure if it will fit my tripod as it has a cast pin (older type)

The adaptor has the cutout in the side for the pin so shuld be fine. You can always ask FLO to be sure

Sorry to jump in on the thread but thanks for posting that. I went on holiday a bit back and thought I will just take the one tripod for my star adventurer and heq5 pro mount. It was only when I went to try the star adventurer that I realised it would not fit due to the cast pin that is for the heq5 pro mount!!
