Herakles Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi all Anyone know if the tripod for the EQ6 can be used to mount the EQ3-2 head on ?TIA Clear Skies Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Varley Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Unfortunately the EQ3-2 head doesn't fit the EQ6 tripod. The HEQ5 and EQ5 tripods use the same fitting as the EQ3-2 however.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelius Varley Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I thought the central well on the EQ6 tripod was shallower than the EQ3-2/EQ5/HEQ5 tripod.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herakles Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey guys thanks for the replies. I should possibly have explained it better . I am hoping that the legs fit , unbolted form the EQ6 and attached , same way to EQ3-2. I would not need to actually use the well/mounting plate of the EQ6.I think Kev may have sussed what I meant , not that I'm saying you other guys are daft or summit !Kev , I hope you are feeling better soon mate .Clear SkiesPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev 102 42 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 on mine the EQ3 Mount is attached to the EQ6 tripod head all i had to do was unscrew that lip thing off the EQ6 head and it fits in the well like a glove........kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 The Celestron CG5 tripod has 2" steel legs (like the EQ6 tripod), is taller than a HEQ5 / EQ5 tripod and is compatible with the EQ3-2/EQ5/HEQ5 mount heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
