It is CNC-machined from 6061T aluminium and anodized red, measures 203 x 42 x 39 mm, and weighs 161.5 g (5.7 oz). The two M6 mounting screws sit 187 mm apart, and the bar also accepts M4 set screws, so it works with both common ring-top hole patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you own a mid-size refractor such as the SVBONY SV503 102mm f\/7 or SV550 122mm f\/7 and want a safer, easier way to carry the tube between the case and the mount, or if you set up and tear down every session and want to avoid handling the tube by its focuser or dew shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece CNC 6061T aluminium:\u003c\/strong\u003e machined and anodized for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e203 mm length:\u003c\/strong\u003e wide enough for a full-hand grip, with 187 mm between the two M6 mounting points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual M6 and M4 interfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e two M6 mounting screws plus four M4 set screws are supplied, covering the most common ring and plate hole spacings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39 mm high and 42 mm wide, so it adds little bulk to the tube assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 161.5 g, with negligible effect on mount payload or balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6386106109869442237318663.jpg?v=1791669885\" alt=\"SVBONY SV211 handle bar CNC-machined anodized aluminium construction\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6386106111060233053383634.jpg?v=1791669885\" alt=\"SVBONY SV211 handle bar installation with M6 screws and M4 set screws\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrying the optical tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e lifting a refractor in and out of its case and onto the mount saddle with one secure grip point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtecting the tube during transport:\u003c\/strong\u003e SVBONY designed the bar to reduce knocks and wear when the telescope is moved to a dark site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory mounting point:\u003c\/strong\u003e the top of the bar gives a stable surface on the tube assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6386106112172484739263443.jpg?v=1791669885\" alt=\"SVBONY SV211 handle bar used to carry a telescope tube\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSVBONY-listed fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e SV503 102mm f\/7 and SV550 122mm f\/7 optical tubes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e two M6 screws at 187 mm centres, or M4 set screws.
