JA is correct, the vixen dovetail is secured to a standard camera tripod plate. For added security I am using two 1/4-20 screws through the plate and into the dovetail(which handily had two threaded holes to make this possible).
I've now also mounted the telescope backwards on the video head which allows me to point at a full 90 degrees from the horizon. This particular model video head(501hdv) also has a counter balance spring system which loads up nicely as I reach the zenith.
Hello Arief, yes the only thing I'm missing is slow motion control. 156x with the TV barlow has allowed me to split some nice doubles.
