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.
