ADM Accessories D Series Saddle

No. The saddle utilizes a split clamp design that grips the dovetail bar along its entire surface rather than using a single point of pressure. This distributes the load evenly, preventing the dents or scratches often caused by traditional set-screw style clamps.

Not at all. The saddle is designed for tool-free operation, featuring large locking hand knobs that are easy to grip and tighten, even when you are wearing gloves in the field.

No, it is specifically designed for D-Series (Losmandy-style) systems. It is directly compatible with the Losmandy G11 and select Takahashi mounts, so you should verify your specific mount's mounting hole pattern before purchasing.

The saddle features spring-loaded jaws that provide a firm, consistent hold on your equipment. This mechanism ensures your telescope remains securely attached to the mount throughout your observation session.

It is built from a combination of durable anodized aluminum and stainless steel. This material choice ensures the saddle is both lightweight and resistant to the wear and tear of outdoor astronomical use.
