Hello! question have you ever tried adapting this to a bigger/stiff photography tripod? I've been trying to find adapters that would work.

[@summetj]

I used the 102AZ optical tube on an iOptron Cube E mount. It didn't need an adapter, as the vixen style dovetale just fit. However, it was on the "wrong" side of the telescope, so I either had to use it "upside down" or reverse the end of the OTA, which I did at the following video. Overall the Cube-E worked well for tracking stars and optical viewing, but didn't hold the 102AZ steady enough for astro-photography. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzLgoh9ZrWihck

Does it matter which bolt is tightened or loosened? Because when i tried it only the outward bolt would turn

[@summetj]

I don't think so, as long as it works when you are finished it should be good ;>

Thank you, this video helped me a lot cause my mount had the same problem
