ADM Accessories DUAL Series Saddle

Yes, the DUAL Series Saddle is specifically engineered to accept both D-series and V-series dovetail bars, making it a versatile choice if you own multiple telescopes or accessories.

Yes, the split clamp design grips the dovetail bar along its entire surface rather than using a single point of pressure. This distributes the clamping force evenly, which prevents the marring, dents, or scratches often caused by standard locking screws.

No tools are required. The saddle features two large, easy-to-grip hand knobs that allow you to securely lock or release your equipment by hand, even while wearing gloves in cold weather.

This saddle is compatible with a variety of popular mounts, including the Losmandy GM8, Takahashi models, and the Explore Scientific TwiLight 2. If your mount is not listed, check your mount's mounting hole pattern against the saddle's specifications to ensure a proper fit.

The saddle weighs 1.9 lbs. While it is constructed from durable anodized aluminum and stainless steel for maximum stability, it is relatively lightweight and should not significantly impact your mount's overall payload capacity.
