Universal Mounting Plate CG-5 94213

The Celestron CG-5 Universal Mounting Plate attaches telescope accessories to Advanced CG-5 or Advanced VX mounts. It accepts standard mounting rings, spotting scopes, and cameras. The black finish matches the mount aesthetics.

Upgrades from improvised adapters

This plate replaces makeshift solutions when mounting diverse gear to a compatible platform. The jump is worth it when you need secure attachment for multiple accessory types without custom drilling. It provides factory-aligned hole patterns for reliable tracking.

Simple bolt-on installation

Installation uses existing mount hardware with common 3/8"-16, 5/16"-18, and 1/4"-20 threads. No special tools are required beyond standard wrenches. The main issue is ensuring the accessory weight stays within the mount's payload capacity to avoid tracking errors.
