Mounting camera to EQM35 Sky-Watcher


Recommended Posts

I am thinking that one of these can be use to connect a camera Ball Head to the Dovetail that came with my EQM35

Camera Nikon Z7ii Lens Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8

The green item. the 2 holes in the middle are threaded 1/4" and  then can use the other end 3/8" to connect the ball head

I don't want to use the round part which replaces the Declination axis/motor from the mount.

I did buy the ballhead adapter that actually mounts to the round part. I thought it would connect to the Dec Axis but it does not..

ADM makes a universal Camera Dovetail that costs around $100. that would be the best option except the cost.

The Best Ball head which I like is a Manfrotto not cheap but compared to cost of camera it would hold cheap.

But I also don't really need a ballhead as the mount rotates the camera 360 by 180 degrees for me.
