Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Dec bracket compatible with Star Adventurer and Star Adventurer Mini. Necessary for use with counterweight kit to balance the mount against the weight of a DSRL or mirrorless camera or dedicated astronomy camera paired with a lens or appropriate telescope. Fine adjustment dec knobs let you make small adjustments to center astronomical targets.

Seems to be well designed for what it was intended for. The fine angle adjustment knob is a little bit stiff, compared with for example a general-purpose manual mount like the SVBONY SV225. I found that one full turn of the knob advances the angle by 2.9508 degrees (on average). I thought it would be an even 3 degrees, but no. Apparently they are using a worm gear with 122 teeth, and not 120 as I had expected. Anyway it does work and it seems pretty sturdy as well.

The unit is solid and fits perfectly on my Star Adventurer Watcher. I use it when I have a heavier lens (or telescope) on the Star Adventurer.

Esta barra vixen es exactamente la que vez en los videos de skywatcher, esta diseñada especificamente para la star adventurer 2i y el uso de una camara dslr y un objetivo, pequeña, portable y de excelente calidad de fabricacion en aluminio, trae la rosca para colocar la barra y el contrapeso aunque esos se venden aparte

Great item allows the use of a counter balance and works with a camera setup.

Great bracket for the fine tuning of the declination on a sky watcher star adventurer 2i mount. This enables you to fine tune even if your polar alignment isnt that good from the start. It is very well made and very lite and can be used in more ways than just one camera or small telescope.

I ordered this bracket for use with the Sky-Watcher EQM-35 Pro mount I recently purchased. The declination bracket appears to be a well-designed , solidly-constructed, and well-finished item. Its use is obvious, with one issue. Since no information (except for a warranty sheet) came with the bracket there is no information for the use of the tabbed collar (please see attached image - collar in question indicated by yellow arrow). Tightening it seemed to have no effect on movement of the smaller (rotation) knob. I emailed Sky-Watcher tech support/customer service for clarification. I included the same image of the bracket that is attached to this review. And, here's the reply I received: Hello Thank you for contacting Sky-Watcher USA technical support. The green bar is for attaching a telescope or camera to the mount.That's it - period.After rummaging around on the internet, I chanced upon an operating manual for Sky-Watcher's Star Adventurer. And, there it was, included in that manual's Appendix II (please see attached Appendix image).My small experience with Sky-Watcher indicates that design, construction, and build quality of their products is very well done. Their manuals and customer service/tech support leave a lot to be desired.

I used this item in a way not intended by the manufacturer, it was used as a drive adapter on a telescope equitorial mount where it solved a final drive problem. It provides a nice no backlash worm drive with a manual decoupled as such it is awsome!

Bought for our son and he has been thrilled with his long exposure shots of galaxies. This was "the" Christmas gift he wanted. Well worth the money. Be aware that the accessories are all piece meals so pay attention to what is in the box versus what else you may actually want or need.

This is a perfect device for connecting a DLSR camera to an AZ-GTI mount. It has a 1/4-in screw to connect the camera and a vixen dovetail to connect the mount. The tracking mount works the same way it would work with a telescope attached. No additional parts are needed for tracking and taking wide pictures of night sky objects. The device is sturdy and stable. It includes an adjustment knob for making fine-tuned adjustments. An additional 3/8-in screw is included for attaching balance weights or a ball-head if you prefer.
