PrimaLuceLab BIG Dovetail Clamp Vixen + Losmandy PLUS
The PrimaLuceLab BIG Dovetail Clamp Vixen + Losmandy PLUS is a heavy-duty dual-format saddle designed to securely support both Vixen and Losmandy style dovetail plates within the PrimaLuceLab PLUS system ecosystem. Precision CNC machined from solid aluminium and finished with hard anodising, this clamp delivers exceptional rigidity, flexibility, and long-term durability for demanding astrophotography and observatory setups.
Unlike standard dovetail clamps that only support a single format, the BIG Dovetail Clamp allows simultaneous compatibility with both Vixen and Losmandy plates, giving you complete freedom to interchange equipment without changing saddles or adapters.
The BIG Dovetail Clamp Vixen + Losmandy PLUS is part of the PrimaLuceLab PLUS (Prima Luce Universal System), an advanced modular mechanical platform designed for astrophotography, observatory, and telescope mounting applications. The PLUS system includes dovetail plates, support rings, guide rings, clamps, and mounting accessories that allow users to build highly customised and extremely rigid imaging systems.
Every PLUS component is engineered with threaded holes, slots, and precision mounting points to maximise compatibility and mechanical stability.
Manufactured from high-grade aluminium blocks using high precision CNC machining, the clamp is then sandblasted for a smooth professional finish before receiving a hard anodised coating to improve resistance against wear, scratches, and oxidation.
Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, the BIG Dovetail Clamp provides excellent load capacity while maintaining accurate alignment and secure locking performance.
Key Applications
-
Side-by-Side Telescope Configurations
Install two BIG Dovetail Clamps onto PLUS plates to create highly rigid side-by-side mounting systems for dual telescope setups using either Vixen or Losmandy format plates. -
Guide Scope Balancing Systems
Attach the clamp above telescope support rings to precisely position guide rings and optimise balance for guide scopes and auxiliary instruments. -
EAGLE Computer Integration
Directly mount PrimaLuceLab EAGLE control units onto Vixen or Losmandy dovetail systems with secure mechanical coupling. -
SkyWatcher Mount Compatibility
With the appropriate adapter flange, the clamp can also connect Losmandy dovetail systems to SkyWatcher HEQ5 and AZ-EQ5 mounts.
The intelligently designed slot system also allows compatibility with many third-party mechanical accessories, making integration into existing telescope systems simple and versatile.
