## Description

The Star Adventurer Ball Head adapter provides a 3/8 threaded post to mount any ball of choice to the Star Adventurer. The Ball Head adapter utilizes a stand V-style dovetail on the back for easy mounting to the Star Adventurer.

Review: Works great to mate SeeStar to mount - If you have a SeeStar smart scope and are planning to run your scope in EQ mode with an equatorial base (like the SkyWatcher or William Optics), you'll need something to go between the scope and the base. After researching several different options (including Vixen bars - where you need to add a space like "fender washers", as the little pads on the corners of the scope base will hit on those) I decided to go with this, and am very happy with it. One tip / trick - The power button is supposed to point up once you attach the scope to the base. When you screw this adapter into the SeeStar where it is securely tight, the orientation of the side clamping portions may not be properly aligned with the base. In order to get things properly aligned (where the power button is pointing skyward) I removed the two tiny screws that hold the threaded bolt into the adapter - which worked well for me. Good product that did exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price!
Review: Suitable for ZWO Smart Telescope - Purchased for use with Seestar50 on an Explorer Scientific mount. Works well as vixen plate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to attach my dslr camera to my ioptron smarteq pro #3200 mount.  will this fit the mount?**
A: I am using this mount with a Star Adventurer (SA) tracking device.  Although the SA is similar to your ioptron I have no direct experience with your device.  That said, the threaded portion of the mount is larger than the standard threaded opening on dslr cameras.  You will need an adapter.  This particular mount is made for use with ball heads and that is how I use it.  I attach a ball head to the mount then the camera to the ball head.  This gives me greater flexibility in aligning the camera’s position to the object I am photographing.

**Q: Will this fit a az-eq5 mount?**
A: I don't have first-hand experience, but my research says that it will indeed fit an AZ-EQ5 mount.

**Q: Can I attache the evostar72 to a tripod with this?**
A: No,  the ball head adapter is too big to fit a standard camera tripod.  You have to buy an adapter to attached the Sky-Watcher to a standard camera tripod plate. The Desmond 3/8 to 1/4 inch adapter is one example.

**Q: Will this fit the az-gti?**
A: Yes it will fit the az-gti mount.
