The Baader Universal Quick Release finder base (finder-shoe) is compatible with most standard finder brackets and some red dot finders. The base can also be used as an additional base on telescopes that don't already have a finder shoe in a convenient position.
CNC machined with a curved base and elongated holes for a good fitting to almost any telescope, including Schmidt-Cassegrains (SCT).
The Baader finder base has two elongated holes for screws up to M5, with either a countersunk head or a flat cylindrical head. Spacing between the screws is 27-45mm. In addition the base has a central countersunk hole for screws up to M5.
Screws and nuts are not included.

I wanted to attach my ZWO ASI AIR to my 8" Meade LX90 and FLO advised me to buy the Baader finder shoe. It connected perfectly to my Meade scope and now my ASI Air is secure. No wobble detected. Unfortunately, I ordered a few items and so the clouds hand been particularly heavy! I have yet to try out the Meade with the Air on its new mount. FLO were fantastic as usual, and everything they advised me to buy, to enable me to move the Meade onto the AM5 mount, fit perfectly. Now all I need are clear skies!

Baader Universal Quick Release Finder Shoe 20 March 2023 | Nic
I bought this to mount my Zwo Asiair onto Baader Steeltrack focuser replacing a generic no name brand. Very happy with the item, the finish is excellent and so is the fit. Service and communication from FLO was faultless. Very happy customer.

Cheaped out and bought one from amazon which was terrible quality. Learnt from my mistake and came to the right place.
Attaches to a Celestron C8 perfectly and is holding a EVOGuide 50ED. Thank you.
Baadar Universal Qick Release Finder Shoe/Base 11 October 2022 | Graeme
Bought this to attach a finder scope to a Celestron 8 inch sct OTA. The product is sturdy and well made and fits perfectly into the existing screw holes on the OTA. It provides a good rigid support for the finder scope ( a Skywatcher 50 x 90).
Does the job perfectly. Would recommend. As usual, the service from First Light Optics was faultless-package shipped and arrived rapidly and was well packed to avoid any damage in transit. It really is a pleasure dealing with FLO.
Quality finish as usual with Baader products 11 September 2022 | Michael
I purchased this to replace the plastic SCT fitting on my Bresser Messier Mak 127. The hole spacing is perfect and would fit a wide range of OTA's.
The image is not very clear on this, also you'll need to provide your own bolts.

With it's slotted screw holes and and wider base it fitted my 1998 C8 and has given a solid mount for my 240 x 60mm guide scope.
Adding an additional Finder Shoe to my ESPRIT 100ED OTA 06 November 2020 | Alistair
I discovered there is an additional M5 threaded hole under the manufactures sticker on the Skywatcher ESPRIT 100ED.
By installing this shoe I am better able to distribute the weight of my ZWO EAF, guidescope and ASIAIR Pro to achieve good side to side balance on the mount.
The quality of the shoe exceeds that of the shoe supplied with the telescope.

Solid bit of equipment. Excellent quality.
Fits well on my old celestron tube. 07 April 2020 | John
Bought this to fit the skywatcher finder scope onto my old Celestron 8 inch SCT. Screws onto the celestron snugly (using the screws already on the celestron). Also the fit for the finderscope dovetail is good and snug. Happy with it.
