Farpoint Vixen Quick Mount Adapter

Product Overview

Quick-release mounting for your telescope accessories — on the Vixen (V-size) dovetail standard.

The Farpoint Vixen Quick Mount Adapter provides a quick-release mount for dovetail bar telescope accessories. Instead of bolting a finder, guide scope, or other accessory down permanently, put it on a V-size bar and click it on and off your rig in seconds — no tools, no re-alignment of hardware. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Quick Mount Adapter for?
It gives any telescope accessory a quick-release dovetail interface. Mount the accessory on a V-size bar, and the adapter lets you attach and detach it from your setup in seconds instead of unbolting hardware every session.

What screws does it take?
The four through holes are sized for #10 screws. The two threaded holes on the opposite side are blind (they don't go all the way through) and are tapped 8-32. The product drawing shows the full hole pattern and measurements.

Is V-size the same as Vixen?
Yes — V-size is the Vixen-style dovetail, the smaller of the two common dovetail standards (the larger being the D-size, or Losmandy-style). This adapter works with V-size bars and accessories.
