Losmandy 3" Dovetail Clamping Plate XL

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Losmandy Dovetail Clamping Plate 3″ XL represents a critical component for observers and researchers requiring maximum structural integrity for their optical assemblies. Engineered with a generous length of 350mm (13.8”), this plate provides an extended contact surface that is essential for distributing the load of heavier or longer optical tubes, thereby minimizing mechanical flexure during high-precision tracking or rapid slewing. To ensure absolute equipment safety and vibration-free performance, the design incorporates three dedicated security locking knobs, offering a redundant and robust clamping force that anchors the instrument firmly to the mount's axis.

Reflecting the 10Micron commitment to premium manufacturing standards, the plate is entirely CNC machined from high-grade aluminum with a durable black anodized finish to resist wear and environmental degradation in demanding observatory conditions.

Compatibility and System Integration

This clamping plate is designed for seamless integration across the 10Micron product ecosystem. It offers a direct, native fit for the GM2000 and AZ2000 mount series. For larger platforms requiring specialized mounting geometry, the plate remains fully compatible through the use of precision-engineered adapters:

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

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