Piggyback mount

[Steve1976]

Hello everyone!

Does anyone know if its possible to buy a piggyback mount for a skymax 127?

Also, anyone had any good or bad experiences using warehouse express for EP's?

Not sure about a specific piggy back mount, but you can piggy back straight onto the tube rings. It's how I piggy back my SLR with the 50mm prime lens, and how I used to have the guide scope setup.

sounds good to me! But do tube rings exist for the 127 MAK?

Give FLO a call. I don't know the size but I bet there'll be something to fit. I got a set for a skymax 102

Is this the kind of thing you are after. They are 130mm (int) rings from S&S iirc. The only problem was the tighening bolts were slightly short and was unable to tighten the ring. I used two longer 4mm (I think they were 4mm) bolts, cut off the heads and drilled a small hole to take the hinge pin.

The camera adapter is a Manfrotto tripod mount.
