The Vixen style dovetail plate 350mm PLUS is designed to let you install telescopes or cameras on mounts with Vixen type clamp or photographic heads with Arca Swiss type clamp. This Vixen style dovetail plate is 350mm long and, not only it comes with central threaded holed and slots, but also threaded holes to connect to other PLUS mechanical components such as support rings, guide rings, dovetail clamps or EAGLE computers always with more screws, in order to avoid any flexure! Like all the elements of the PLUS system, this plate is made with high precision mechanics, it's built with CNC machines from aluminum block, and anodized to increase the hardness of the material and protect it from oxidation. Weight: 0.4 kg.
The Vixen style dovetail plate 350mm PLUS is part of PrimaLuceLab's PLUS system (Prima Luce Universal System) that includes a large variety of other plates, support rings, guide rings and dovetail clamps to offer you the maximum freedom to build your mechanical support system, depending on the application you want to accomplish. Indeed, all the PLUS elements have threaded holes, holes and slots suitable for connecting elements, always with maximum rigidity and comfort. For this application, PrimaLuceLab designed many elements, including the Vixen style dovetail plate 350mm PLUS. Each component of the PLUS system is made of aluminum blocks that are high precision CNC machined. The aluminum is then sandblasted to achieve a very smooth surface finish and is anodized (hard anodizing) to increase the hardness of the material and protect it from oxidation.
Thanks to the particular design, the Vixen style dovetail plate 350mm PLUS can be:
- positioned below the support rings to install the telescope on mounts with Vixen plate
- installed above the support rings to increase the mechanical rigidity of the entire telescope (and allow you to attach other accessories such as guide rings to precisely adjust the position of the guide telescope).
- installed below a camera to connect it to a mount with Vixen dovetail clamp
- installed below a telescope or a camera to connect it to a photographic head with Arca Swiss dovetail clamp
- used as a basis to create a side-by-side plate (which allows you to install two telescopes in parallel on a mount with a single Vixen plate) together with 2 dovetail clamps PLUS.
In the picture above, the Vixen style dovetail plate 350mm PLUS is installed below 145mm PLUS support rings. Above the support rings the EAGLE is installed. If you have other brands mechanical accessories, you can still use all the elements of the PLUS system. Indeed we have provided a series of central slots that allow, for example, to fix on this plate support or guide rings through a screw.
