- Polarie Multi Mounting Block -
This accessory for the Polarie Star tracker allows you to mount a Vixen dovetail to your Polarie. This, in turn, enables camera balancing and you can keep your polar scope mounted inside.

The Mulit Mounting Block replaces the camera mounting block, which is originally supplied with the POLARIE Star Tracker. The optional Dovetail Slide Bar DD (#35525) allows photography with heavy equipment in an optimum balance around the rotating axis, maximizing payload up to approx. 14.3 lbs (6.5kg). The construction of the accessory is designed to permanently install the optional POLARIE polar scope PFL II(#35532) for immediate precise polar alignment.

- Dovetail Slide Bar DD -
This plate is designed to mount cameras through ball-head and the like. The new optional Quick Release Panorama Clamp (#35527) or commercially available camera mount (1/4 inch) can be attached on both ends. More precise and stable tracking is possible if the balance around the rotating axis is optimally adjusted upon sliding the plate. Heavy equipment such as a full-format DSLR camera with telephoto lens can be optimally balanced in combination with the optional Supplementary Counterweight Bar (#25826) and Counterweight (#25801)

- Polarie Quick Release Angle Plate -
The Quick Release Angle Bracket is an "L" shaped plate which is used to hold a DSLR camera body both in vertical and horizontal positions. The quick release angle bracket has an advantage over the ball head in stability. With use of this product, the camera can be set closer to the center of gravity and will prevent the camera from moving. This plate is designed to be used with the Quick Release Panorama Clamp. Cameras or telescopes can be attached with 1/4" screw socket.
