ADM Vixen dovetail for Meade LX 90 13 September 2024 | Phil
Brilliant advice and support from FLO as usual. Item arrived quickly and well packed. Perfect fit on modified de-forked Meade LX90 tube to fit my Sky watcher HEQ5 pro mount.
Still trying to work out how to fit it! 13 August 2023 | Desmond
Bought this to piggy back a guide scope to my celestron 9.25 HD. It is supplied with 4 screws, but there is no guide on how these are used.

Usual excellent advice and supply services from FLO
Fits C8 Celestron Celestar delux perfectly. 08 April 2022 | David
I have an older (1970's) C8 on a still very good fork mount. I wanted to defork the OTA and use on a goto equatorial mount. This kit has all you need to accomplish this. My only wish would be that FLO sold the 4 replacement screws needed to plug the holes left by deforking the tube. You could shorten the existing screes but that is not a good idea if you intend to refork at any time. The screws needed are allen headed UNC 10/24 and about 0.25 inches long.
Perfect fit for Celestron 8" Edge HD 21 February 2022 | Ramsay
If you need to mount accessories like a guide scope to your Celestron 8" Edge the ADM Vixen-type dovetail could be the ideal solution. It fits the HD perfectly and in combination with the pair of 75mm ADM rings it rigidly supports my 60mm Altair guide scope without any flexing. An added bonus is you can slide the guide scope backwards and forwards along the rail to achieve optimal balance for your system.

Solid bar, that attached firmly and easily to my Meade LX90 8" tube using the provided screws. Having de-forked the tube, I can now mount my LX90 on my EQ mount. Would have given it more stars but for the price.

I bought it to use it with my C8 Edge HD. It fits perfectly and is of high quality.
Works well - even not for the intended purpose 03 March 2021 | Brian
Would have given it 5* had it not been for the confusing screws supplied - 4 screw 3 different sizes and 2 didn't fit anywhere fortunately i had sufficient longer screws for the OTA that allowed me to install the rear radius block
Installed on the top of a CPC 800 to allow the Starsense camera to be more centralised and adjustable.
This had the added benefit of allow for weight distribution to counteract the heavy eyepiece and camera adapter i have installed.
All in all very good quality product.

Ordered from FLO for the first time - great communication and fast delivery by first class post. Will certainly be ordering again with FLO at some point. The bar is extremely strong and solid as I had hoped for. The fit and finish is super. It came with the exact bolts needed so it took just 5 minutes to fit. The bar fits perfectly against the OTA and is a perfect fit as expected. Highly recommended.
Good quality and works as expected 08 February 2020 | John
I got this to remount an old 1990s Celestron tube (Ultima 2000 8inch). The support bars fix tightly into the existing holes at each end of the tube and the dovetail is well made and fit for purpose. Comes with all the allen bolts to fix it. Might be different for other dovetails and not an issue for me, just a watch-out, for the celestron 8inch one you need a couple of imperial sized allen keys (rather than metric). Very happy with it all. Does the job perfectly.
