Product Overview

This shelf gives a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro a dedicated home on a Vixen Porta mount. It is made from clear acrylic and keeps the unit attached to the mount, so the digital setting circles stay within easy reach through a session. The shelf weighs 300 g and installs with the included mounting hardware.

Who It's For

This shelf suits observers running a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro on a Vixen Porta mount who want the unit carried on the mount rather than left on a table or in a pocket. It holds those two units and no others.

Key Features & Design

  • Clear acrylic construction: a single moulded shelf that keeps the unit visible and secure.
  • Dedicated Nexus DSC fit: shaped for the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro so the unit sits in place.
  • Vixen Porta mounting: attaches to a compatible Vixen Porta mount.
  • Mounting hardware included: ships with the fasteners needed to install it.
  • Light footprint: at 300 g it adds little to the mount.

Recommended Uses

The shelf fits push-to observing sessions where a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro stays with the mount, keeping the display and controls at hand while you work through targets.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

The shelf mounts on a Vixen Porta mount and holds the Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro only; no other digital setting circles fit it. The DSC unit and the mount are sold separately.

Good to Know Before You Order

  • Unit compatibility: works with the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro only.
  • Sold separately: the DSC unit and the Vixen Porta mount are not included.
  • In the box: one Nexus DSC shelf and one set of mounting hardware.
