12" Vixen Serie Schwalbenschwanzplatte Male to Male (VMM)

Slots into my equatorial mount with zero wobble—that 1.625" width is spot-on for a solid dovetail fit. Twelve inches gives me plenty of room to balance the secondary scope, and at 11 ounces it doesn't add noticeable weight to the rig.

Machined surprisingly clean for the price, and the 12-inch length gives plenty of room to balance a guidescope awkwardly. Fits the Vixen dovetail standard snugly on both ends, though the anodizing scuffs a bit easily under a wrench. Solid enough at 11 ounces that I don't worry about flex.

Installed this on my equatorial mount to piggyback a guide scope, and the 11-ounce weight feels solid without adding unnecessary bulk. The machining is precise—the dovetail slides in smoothly with zero play. Exactly what I needed for a clean dual-scope setup.
