Losmandy 3" Dovetail Clamping Plate

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

At 10Micron, we recognize that the interface between your mounting system and your optical instrument is a critical link in the chain of precision. This professional-grade 3" Losmandy-style dovetail clamping plate is engineered to facilitate the secure mounting of standard Losmandy slide bars, providing a robust and reliable connection for a wide variety of optical tubes.

True to our heritage of Italian mechanical excellence, this component is entirely CNC machined from high-quality aluminum and finished with a durable black anodized finish. The 200mm length is optimized for standard payloads, while the dual locking knobs are designed to provide maximum security, ensuring your valuable instrumentation remains perfectly stable during high-speed slewing or long-exposure tracking.

Compatibility and System Integration

This clamping plate is designed for direct integration with the GM2000 series mounts. To maintain the structural integrity and performance standards of our larger platforms, a dedicated adapter is required for other models in the 10Micron lineup:

• For the GM3000/AZ3000 HPS: Use adapter #10M3545.

• For the GM4000/AZ4000 HPS: Use adapter #10M4545.

For observers and researchers utilizing instruments with extended focal lengths, such as large refractors, where increased longitudinal support is vital to minimize flexure, we recommend the 10M2185 clamping plate. This extended 350mm version features three locking knobs to provide the enhanced rigidity necessary for demanding imaging applications.
