'D' adapter for EQ-6 Pro

Hi Folks,

This adapter converts your EQ-6 Pro from Vixen to Losmandy 'D' style.

$45 plus post. Or free if you buy the EQ-6 Pro I also have for sale.

Flip side pic

I suspect this may be for Pre-September 2008 eq6 (suspect the puck diameter may be bigger than the one used for HEQ5??)

Can you confirm what the puck looks like?

I am after a pre-september version for ADM also so if it doesn't fit HEQ5 I will take it.

Puck size eq6

Just had a quick look at the diameter of the puck from my pre Sep 08 EQ6 Pro with a ruler and it looks to be 76mm.

Guys,

I'm pretty sure that when I bought it, it wasn't compatible with the HEQ5, but if you think otherwise I'm happy to go with that.

I can confirm that the bottom diameter is 76mm, and it has the V shaped groove.
