Hi guys,

am trying to figure out how to mount my short tube refractor)with tube rings) to my fork mount. Anyone can help??

Thanks

Why don't you show a pic of your fork mount? And why a fork mount and not the usual Manfrotto 410 Jr geared head?

Hmmm...I suppose if you can make the same mount as the original C5+ (dovetail?), it will work. I assume you are not having the original C5+ right? Anyone can help out here? I believe it it the regular dovetail as my old G5, which Airconvent is having now.

yup..figureed that too...but the making of the dovetail is the hard part. i still have the C5+ with me. the current dove tail can't seem to fit with the tube ring of the refractor.

Thanks anyway
