Frequently Asked Questions
What does this plate do?
It bolts to the base of your Takahashi clamshell, giving the clamshell a D-size (Losmandy-style) dovetail interface so the whole assembly drops into any D-size saddle. The product drawing shows the mounting hole options and measurements.
One mounting position or two?
This plate has a single mounting position — simple and economical. If you want to shift the clamshell fore or aft to balance your rig, the 12″ two-position bar gives you that flexibility.
What mounts will this work with?
Any mount with a D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle. Mount still has a small Vixen saddle? Our D-size saddles and conversions upgrade it.
