ADM Vixen-type Side-By-Side Mounting System
I am selling my Vixen style side by side telescope mounting system made by ADM. This is the MiniMax version, which includes the guidescope adjusting base. It is in perfect condition as can be seen on the photos. As one would expect from ADM, solid and very well made.
Features:One 6″ long Vixen series saddle and one Mini-Max alt/az aiming device on a 11″ connecting bar.Fits most popular mounts with a vixen type saddleincluding Skywatcher, Celestron CG-4 and CG-5, Meade LXD and Vixen.Spring loaded clamshell clamping mechanism providesa rigid dovetail to saddle connection without marring the dovetail.Large locking hand knobs for maximumstability. Black anodized 6061 aluminium and stainless steelfor good looks and durability.Mini-Max alt/azaiming device features:The ADM Mini-Max Guidescope base is a convenient and easy to use alternative to guidescope rings.Enables you to quickly align, or purposely offset, two optical tubes to find a suitable guidestar for autoguiding.Based on ADM’s larger ADM Max-Guider, the smaller Mini-MAX is designed for use with the Vixen-type ‘V’ series dovetail bars to reduce overall weight to under 2 lbs yet easily handle a guidescope or finderscope under 10lbs.Offers a generous 10 degrees of Azimuth adjustment and 5 degrees of altitude adjustment.CNC machined from aircraft quality 6061 black-anodized aluminium and stainless steel for a beautiful finish and durability.  The Mini-MAX is 6.4″ long and adds approximately 2″ of height (from top of dovetail on OTA to bottom dovetail on guidescope/finderscope)The underside is a vixen-type dovetail that will fit into an existing side-by-side system. The base also has five tapped holes for attaching directly to ADM side-by-side plates.
