ADM Accessories V Series Saddle for Orion Sirius & Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Mounts

Yes, this saddle is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the stock saddle on the Sky-Watcher HEQ5, HEQ5 Pro, and Orion Sirius mounts.

The split-clamp design applies pressure evenly across the entire length of the dovetail bar rather than just at a single point. This provides a much more secure grip and prevents the locking screws from marring or scratching the finish of your dovetail bar.

No, this is a V-Series (Vixen) saddle. It is only compatible with Vixen-style dovetail bars and will not accommodate the wider Losmandy-style bars.

Installation is straightforward and typically involves removing the existing saddle hardware and bolting this unit directly onto the mount head using the existing mounting points. You will need basic tools, but no modifications to your mount are required.

Factory saddles often use smaller, less ergonomic knobs and a simpler clamping mechanism that can be difficult to tighten securely in the dark or while wearing gloves. This ADM saddle offers larger, easier-to-grip knobs and a more robust clamping surface, which significantly improves stability and ease of use during setup.
