Heavy Duty Vixen Super Polaris Dovetail conversion adapter. V3
USD $109.95USD $89.95VERSION 3 is here! Now, the thumbscrews are farther apart, the plates have a much nicer finish and they are slightly more narrow than before, but it still allows you to "tip" your telescope in.
IDEA Engineering's heavy-duty Vixen style dovetail clamp threads onto any existing Vixen Super Polaris mount.
The Super Polaris mount was a great mount with precision gearing, but it lacked the convenient modern dovetail arrangement that all modern mounts have. Now you can convert this otherwise fantastic mount in seconds.
It has threads for two 6mm thumb screws, which came standard with the Super Polaris. If your mount has 1/4-20 thumbscrews, like many out there, then you simply need to get a pair of 6mm bolts.
The saddle plate is angled on one side and has extra width to make it easy to attach and detach your telescope simply by tilting. The hand knobs push the plate into this angled side for a secure fit. The second knob is the safety, in case you turn one of the plate's knobs in the dark by mistake.
In case your mount's thumbscrews were changed out to 1/4-20 sometime in its history (this is very common in the US) or you are missing your thumbscrews, we now have 6mm thumbscrews available here.

Nice solid little set of calipers. Well made and good weight. Nothing cheep feeling about these, happy with my purchase, would recommend.
Just as the description says- this adapts an older Super Polaris mount to accept dovetail based telescopes and gear. It is solidly built but does *not* include the m6 thumbscrews that (in my case) fasten down to the Vixen saddle. It's built like heavy armor (1 lb. solid), so account for that weight. Delivery was smooth and quick. I would (and have ordered from Idea Engineering again).
Now finally had a real chance to try it out, weather has been lousy here in Sydney, works great and is surprisingly accurate on my telescope. Lots of Sunspot activity to view. Makes aligning with the Sun a snap. Great product

Had problem with PayPal checkout from website, so called in - help was fantastic! Thanks kindly, Bob
If your looking for this kind of adapter look no further. Hard to find anyway ! Extremely well made and thoughtful design. Ive read answers on astro form posts from a couple users looking to do what this type of adapter does that "you don't want to do that because a finder or guide scope is to heavy for hot shoe plate"... omg... don't they know how heavy pro photo flash bulbs and housings can get ?? That being said there is typically some small amount of movement in hot shoe plates. this can be addressed like the designer says by toothpicks wedged in but I found this to not quite do the trick. I used the tooth pick to apply a couple of drops of thick quick dry epoxy to the corners of the hot shoe ... yes you get a couple of mm size drops on your dslr around the corners of the plate... if you just cant handle this prospect Im sure you can figure out a wedge method.
I received exactly what was advertised and the shipping was very fast. Very happy with my purchase from this seller and how well the transaction was handled. I will be looking for other deals from this seller. Thank you.
Nice tool. Arrived in perfect new condition. Needed metric and imperial measurements, and this is one of the few that have them in analog format.
Item as described, fast shipping, well packed, excellent seller, thank you!
Lightning fast shipping and wonderful product!
