I just recently purchased an RC6 and I have a few accessories I need to attach before taking it out for first light.
- Pegasus Power Box Gen2
- RP4
I know there is a dedicated mounting plate (Vixen) with radius blocks that can be purchased but I decided not to get it as it will add around 600 grams of additional weight and I do not need the full bar and want to save some weight.
Looking at various other options, there is a finderscope dovetail (40mm) that I can possibly use on the finderscope shoe mount and create a plate for the RP4.
I was also thinking of just purchasing the radius blocks and that will give me a flat surface to mount my Pegasus Box on. Instead of using a guidescope I will be using an OAG so that alone saves weight and the option to mount it on top.
Thoughts on those who own an RC6 and even RC8 for mounting options?
