Do you have any photos of one you particularly like
Hi Peter, Basically, I'm just after a standard one. I've tried the one from my NEQ6 on my Ioptron MtowerPro tripod, and it sits much further down than the standard Ioptron one, so it has more leverage to lock the legs.
Is yours going to be a casting, or cut from stock?

BTW, If you are just after better rigidity on an NEQ6 or similar mount, might I suggest you look at these: http://www.deepspaceproducts.com/tri...4233_8854.html
I've a a set of these on the ENEQ6 and they work much better than the little spreader at the top does by itself.
