Some Losmandy Parts for sale.

1) Camera adapter

This adapter is perfect for attaching your DSLR and then mounting on a losmandy dovetail...as you can see it is a very heavy duty mounting option.

Cost $110 and is in perfect conditon.

Selling for $60 plus $5 postage to anywhere in Aus. "SOLD"

2) Losmady Dec counter weight

These are used to balance your Dec and attaches to the Losmandy dovetail that sits on the saddle.

Cost $110
Selling cheap $50 plus $10 postage for Aus.

Reason being the counter weights are very difficult to thread all the way down to the base..this can easily be fixed by checking the bolt thread just something I didn't bother doing as I didn't need to use extra weight on the dec.

Any enquiries i'm happy for you to post on this thread or PM me....I'm not fussy.

If you want both just knock of the extra $5 postage as this a real cheap buy as it is.

Once you have your camera and accessories on your scope sometimes depending on what accessories you have no matter how far forward you slide the scope on your mount you cant get enough weight to the front of your scope so you can't balance it.

For example if you take of your dew shield you may find you cant balance the scope...these weights counter act this providing adjustable weight where it is needed.

It slides onto the Bottom Losmandy D series dovetail plate the one that connects to the mount saddle.
I hope I explained this properly...lol
