Secondary dovetail saddle for iOptron GOTO mounts

The iOptron Secondary Dovetail Saddle attaches to the AZ Mount Pro, MiniTower Pro and MiniTower II GOTO mounts. It accepts a Vixen style dovetail bar so you can add a second optical tube or camera rig to the same mount. The part is aimed at astrophotographers and visual observers who want to run dual instruments without buying another mount.

Dovetail saddle built for vibration resistance

Machined metal construction and a wide clamping surface keep the attached dovetail bar from shifting during long exposures or when the mount slews. The saddle bolts directly to the mount’s existing accessory holes, so no drilling or adapter plates are required. Once locked down the joint stays rigid through temperature changes and repeated setup cycles.

Vixen style dovetail compatibility decides fit

The saddle only accepts bars built to the Vixen profile; Losmandy or custom width bars will not seat properly. If your telescope or camera plate uses a different dovetail standard you will need a separate adapter before this saddle can be used.

Questions about this item

Which dovetail standard does the saddle accept?

It accepts a Vixen-style dovetail bar, the common narrow profile used on many telescope tubes and camera plates.

What mounting hardware or clearance does the saddle need on the AZ Mount Pro or MiniTower?

It bolts to the mount’s existing accessory holes; no extra dovetail bar or adapter is required beyond the standard Vixen bar on your scope.

How is the saddle attached and which step is often missed?

Fasten the supplied bolts into the mount’s threaded holes, then tighten the saddle’s locking knob onto the Vixen bar — forgetting to snug the knob leaves the scope able to shift.
