Where can I get a dovetail camera mount

[MartinB]

I would like to mount a DSLR on my Super Polaris mount. I am kitting the mount out with an ADM female dovetail so just need a be able to mount the camera onto this. Struggling to find something suitable. I don't need anything fancy, just secure. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I use one from Modern Astronomy.

Accessories @ Modern Astronomy

About halfway down the page. This together with a small ball and socket does the job nicely.

It is just 12 cm long (difficult to judge scale from the pic)

I've got a mini SW dovetail which has a 1/4" tapped hole in the middle.

Just needs a countersunk head 1/4" whit screw about 12mm long and then the camera fits directly onto the screw and the mount.

Does your dovetail have a similar threaded hole?????

Thanks Dave and Ken. I'm after something that I can take on and off quickly so I will have a look at what I've got male dovetail and screw wise and if I can't make something up I'll go for the one at Modern astronomy

£9.99 on eBay (I'm not the seller either!)

Hi Martin as this article shows , I use a small piece of dovetail bar for my piggy-back system but the same piece of bar also fits straight onto the mount as well.

I've tried searching on ebay and cant seem to find anything

I searched "dovetail camera adaptor"

Another vote for a short length of dovetail and a decent B&S head...

I like Manfrotto ones I use eithe 496RC2 or 488RC2 depending whats on the camera...
