Description


To reduce the possibility of a cable snag while operating your mount remotely, you may wish to remove one of the dovetail knobs that secure the Dec axis to the R.A. axis, and substitute it with our replacement assembly. The assembly would only be needed for the side of the mount that has the cable. The standard dovetail knob will remain on the other side. You will only need to purchase one per mount.

Use the 3/16" allen-head wrench included with your mount to install and adjust tightness. Tighten to approximately the same tension as the corresponding knob on the other side.

Note that a small portion of the assembly will protrude from the side of the mount. This is normal and should not interfere with the mount cable during remote operation.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the knob replacement assembly!

Michael ★★★★★

I swapped out the factory knob on my 900 mount and the threads matched up without any fuss. The shorter profile really helps keep cables from snagging during slewing, which was my main concern. Feels solidly built for the price.

Ryan ★★★★★

The threaded collar fits perfectly on my 1200 mount, and the included set screws held tight after a long imaging session. It feels much more secure than the plastic alternative I was using before.

Joseph ★★★★★

I swapped out the original knob for this assembly and the threaded fit is perfect—no wobble at all. The remote operation is much smoother now without that cable snag worry.
