DVPA-SQ- D Series or V Series for SkyWatcher SolarQuest
Some users may be initially confused on how to attach this so that the scope is horizontal in line with the solar camera. When mounting the black disk, use the existing 4mm screws to the holes at 12,9, and 3 o’clock position, leaving the original screw from the 6 o’clock position blank Then mount the… Read more “DVPA-SQ- D Series or V Series for SkyWatcher SolarQuest”
DUAL-ZEISS- DUAL Series Saddle for Zeiss Dovetail
I have a Losmandy G11 and also just picked up a Zeiss 63/840. I was looking for a saddle that could accommodate the narrower Zeiss dovetail, but still allow me to use standard Vixen and Losmandy dovetails. This saddle does it all and is a seamless replacement for the OEM Losmandy saddle. I think this… Read more “DUAL-ZEISS- DUAL Series Saddle for Zeiss Dovetail”
Slow Motion Control Knob Set
I bought a used Porta ii mount with the controls missing so I tried these based on other people’s reviews and I must say that everything I’ve read about them is right on. Solid metal, firmly stay in place and the handles have a nice none slip feel to them. A pleasure to use. Seen… Read more “Slow Motion Control Knob Set”
Mini-MAX ALT/AZ Aiming Device. Male Dovetail Version
I actually purchased this several years ago for my solar rig. Very handy for a portable setup that may require occasional tweaking. Beats messing around with shims. Well constructed and results in perfect alignment.
You Get What You Pay For
Nothing I’ve ever ordered from ADM has been a disappointment. They are expensive and you get what you pay for, all my ADM gear will outlive me. Also, they always ship quickly, respond to communication quickly, and are otherwise a joy to deal with.
Pleased With This Product
Using this to counteract the added weight of a 2″ star diagonal and heavy eyepiece, and also a prime focus mounted DSLR. The 3.5# weight is a bit heavy for either of these two configurations so I’d recommend the 1.75# weight. I found a “sweet spot” that works for both. The installation of the dovetail… Read more “Pleased With This Product”
V2AS- V Series to Arca Swiss Adapter. Converts V Series Mounts to an Arca Swiss Series Mount.
At almost two pounds, this is a substantial piece of kit. It is meticulously crafted, fits my iOptron CEM26 mount perfectly, holds my camera tight, and I couldn’t be more impressed with its quality. What I’d love to see as an addition is a spring-loaded release button to hold the ARCA plate from sliding out… Read more “V2AS- V Series to Arca Swiss Adapter. Converts V Series Mounts to an Arca Swiss Series Mount.”
DVPA-SAGT- D Series or V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTi
I bought the dual saddle for my AVX a few years ago, and I’ve loved it so much I decided to get this one for my Star Adventurer GTI. Once again, complete satisfaction! These are a near must-have for your mount. The quality and craftsmanship are second to none, and the saddle provides a much… Read more “DVPA-SAGT- D Series or V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTi”
CGX-SBS- Celestron CGX Side-By-Side Adapter
Serious amateurs know ADM accessories are second to none in both quality and functionality. I needed a solution for mounting multiple scopes on an EQ8-Rh with hard dec axis stops. Anthony suggested the CGX-SBS which solved the problem, allowing this triple plate configuration to be rock solid while supporting a payload of 75lbs with ease.… Read more “CGX-SBS- Celestron CGX Side-By-Side Adapter”
Dual Saddle Upgrade
I just installed the ADM Dual GPDX saddle on my Explore Scientific Exos2GT Pmc8 mount. It’s a worthy upgrade for my mount my scope is much more secure than the stock saddle which has two bolts that press into the scope dovetail. The ADM Dual has a dovetail rail that grips the whole scope dovetail… Read more “Dual Saddle Upgrade”
Excellent Quality Product
Excellent quality product and super advice to figure out how to mate my c5 to a cartoni fluid head. I plan to use them again to mount an asiair to the finder mount point. Pretty fast delivery too but shipping cost is high for smaller parts and orders.
ADM Accessories Are Consistently Well-Made
ADM accessories are consistently well-made and fill a much needed gap in OEM parts / accessories. I have utilized ADM for many years and have never been disappointed in the quality, appearance or level of customer service provided by Anthony and the team at ADM.
DC8-XL- D Series Dovetail Bar. XL Version. Fits Celestron C8 OTA’s
Really well made, and my telescope feels a lot more secure on my mount. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to install it on my C8. The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t get to two of the screws that hold the radius blocks to my scope without… Read more “DC8-XL- D Series Dovetail Bar. XL Version. Fits Celestron C8 OTA’s”
This Saddle Is A Great Upgrade
DUAL-AVX- DUAL Series Saddle. Shipped fast. This saddle is a great upgrade to my Celestron AVX mount. My AVX head still fits in the foam shipping insert. No more marks on my dovetail and it is easier to mount and adjust the OTA now. I also purchased the AVX Alt-AZ knobs to match the knobs… Read more “This Saddle Is A Great Upgrade”
All Aspects Of Its Fabrication Are First-Rate
My order for the DVPA-PM2 angle bracket and adapter package shipped on the same day on which I placed my order. It was well packaged for shipment and arrived on time and in excellent condition. Upon inspection, I found that all aspects of its fabrication are first-rate. Although not inexpensive, in my opinion this item… Read more “All Aspects Of Its Fabrication Are First-Rate”
AVX-AZ – Celestron AVX Azimuth Adjustment Knobs
Bought a set of these to replace the cheap Sky-Watcher 11 lbs. weight knobs. Put a belt sander to them and took two inches of threads off the bolts to make them fit past the narrow part of the hole. Turned the rubber bushing in the weight so that the hole was covered up by… Read more “AVX-AZ – Celestron AVX Azimuth Adjustment Knobs”
DVPA-SAGT- D Series or V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTi
Excellent craftsmanship and quality from this saddle. Huge upgrade for the stock saddle that comes with the SWSA GTi and arguably necessary, unless you want a scuffed up dovetail bar with a sketchy contact point!
DPA-VPA-FF- D Series Female to V Series Female Adapter And 14” D dovetail
I was having part success with finding stars to guide on using OAG. Because the OTA has 2800mm, I wanted to mount a Maksutov with 1300mm fl on the side. I emailed with a description of my OTA, and with the dovetail and the adapter it came together so easily. Now I have the best… Read more “DPA-VPA-FF- D Series Female to V Series Female Adapter And 14” D dovetail”
Review For VSAD-HEQ5- V Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher HEQ5/ Orion Sirius Mounts
Excellent product! Added the Bling knobs in matching red for WO FLT91. I sure wish you guys would create a Bling knob for the Sky-Watcher mount weights. Like the OEM saddle knobs, they are very hard to lock down and using your knob tool makes it a breeze.
Review For DVPA-AZGT- D Series or V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher AZ GTi
As usual another top notch upgrade from ADM. This replaced the factory dovetail mount on a SW AZGTi which had the dreaded single screw which marks up the dovetail plate on your scope. Change out literally took five minutes. Fit and finish are top notch which ADM is famous for. I keep coming back time… Read more “Review For DVPA-AZGT- D Series or V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher AZ GTi”
Great Company To Do Business With
ADM products are EXCELLENT. When I am looking for a special piece of hardware, mount or scope adapter I look to ADM. Quality, fit and finish of anything I have bought from ADM is SUPERB! Great company to do business. Wish you continued success.
Quality and Reasonably Priced
Quality and reasonably priced dovetail for my TV85. Anthony responded quickly to my request for more information on the product, and for no additional cost, added two 1/4×20 offset threaded taps to the base, to leave the dovetail in place on the clamshell, yet still easily attach to my telepod for terrestrial viewing. Would do… Read more “Quality and Reasonably Priced”
ADM Made It Possible
This is a great company and has some great fixes that seem so obvious but no one else does it well enough. ADM, they do it perfectly. I needed a set of rings and a mount for the Losmandy rail that would be adjustable for a 4.5″ refractor, one would say just get a clam… Read more “ADM Made It Possible”

Excellent Service And His Products Are Top Notch Too!
I usually disregard emails asking me for a review, but I had to give one for ADM. I ordered what I thought was something I could use on my new C 9.25. The next day I received a phone call from Anthony (The Owner) asking me if I knew what I had actually ordered. Turns… Read more “Excellent Service And His Products Are Top Notch Too!”
Review For DC8-XL- D Series Dovetail Bar. XL Version. Fits Celestron C8 OTA’s
This was great! My EdgeHD 8 (C8) had a V-style ADM XL bar that was 18” long for balancing my back heavy C8 with a Moonlite focuser. I wanted the D-style for greater stability but ADM did not have one for the C8. I emailed Anthony and he used the specs of existing but shorter… Read more “Review For DC8-XL- D Series Dovetail Bar.

When I Need More Specialized Parts I Will Order From ADM Again
I ordered the upgraded knob kit for my CGEM-DX, it was in stock and arrived in a few days after placing my order. As always as with the other products I have ordered from ADM these pieces were just as advertised and when I need more specialized parts I will order from ADM again.
Review For DUAL-EQ6-RPRO-XL- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher EQ6/ Orion Atlas Mounts
The ADM xl saddle is a world above and beyond the POS EQ6-R stock saddle. Now, the EQ6-R is an excellent mount for the price but if you are buying one, you should treat it like buying a used sports car: save some of the price for resolving nagging issues … and the saddle is… Read more “Review For DUAL-EQ6-RPRO-XL- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher EQ6/ Orion Atlas Mounts”
ADM Is Where You Need To Buy
I have a bunch of ADM accessories. Everything from the Minj-Max Guided to various clamps and several dovetail saddles. ADM is where you need to buy what the big telescope companies should have made properly in the first place or never even thought of. They make my astronomy experience better.
1st Class Quality Made Equipment
Over the years I’ve bought several items from ADM. All items turned out to be 1st class quality made equipment. This time I needed the Mini-MAX Alt/Az Vixen saddle ASAP so I called Anthony at ADM (the owner) and asked if he would ship express. He shipped that day and I got it in two… Read more “1st Class Quality Made Equipment”
Think Of It As Engineering Art
In an age of stamped parts and plastic bits and bobs, it is great to see a well engineered piece of kit. This is very well engineered – no question. But it somehow goes beyond that. It has been made with care and finished beyond the demands of requirement or tech specs. Made by someone… Read more “Think Of It As Engineering Art”
Review For CGX-SBS- Celestron CGX Side-By-Side Adapter
Purchased this to use with my iOptron CEM120. I sent an email regarding this accessory (and two other accessories) on a Sunday. Much to my surprise, Anthony Davoli responded promptly to my enquiry the same day! Following his advice he swapped out the 7’ plate with the 11″ version. I placed the order that day… Read more “Review For CGX-SBS- Celestron CGX Side-By-Side Adapter”
Beautifully Machined ADM Saddles
Beautifully machined ADM saddles and the wide variety of custom parts allow for solid, secure mounting of my telescopes, whether individually mounted, piggy-backed or side by side configurations are desired. It is always a pleasure to work with ADM.
Built For A Lifetime Of Use
Purchased (most recently) an ADM D-Series saddle – with added “bling” – and found the quality to be just what I’ve come to expect from ADM. Just beautiful machining and finishing in every piece, built for a lifetime of use. As is well-known within the hobby, ADM is simply the best!
I Would Definitely Recommend ADM For Astrophotography Gear
Purchased a universal bar and mount, and was impressed with the build and machine quality of both. Definitely worth the price, and shipping was quick to boot. I would definitely recommend ADM for astrophotography gear.
Review For VSAD-M8- V Series Saddle. 8mm Counterbored Version
Absolutely beautiful V Series saddle, along with the new 7″ V Series dovetail bar for a Takahashi. I decided on the black anodized knobs, very happy. This setup solves some balance issues. Always happy with ADM products. By the way, placed the order on a Saturday and received it before dinner on Monday night! … Read more “Review For VSAD-M8- V Series Saddle. 8mm Counterbored Version”
Review For VPA-AZGT- V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher AZ-GTi Mount
VPA-AZGT saddle for SkyWatcher AZ-GTi Mount. Great product, professional finish. Much better than original single screw retainer. Feels more secure and looks better. I couldn’t re-use the existing 4 screws to attach the round part to the AZ-GTI, they were not long enough. Went to Home Depot and got longer M3s. Think the screws should… Read more “Review For VPA-AZGT- V Series Dovetail Adapter for SkyWatcher AZ-GTi Mount”
Review For DVCW-SM- D and V Series Counterweight with Side Mounted Option and 3″ Threaded Rod
I was having issues getting my DEC axis to balance correctly due to having EAF and power boxes on one side of my scope setup. This counterweight system was the absolute solution to those issues and now the DEC axis can be fully balanced without having to “jerry rig” your setup to achieve focus. The… Read more “Review For DVCW-SM- D and V Series Counterweight with Side Mounted Option and 3″ Threaded Rod”
Review For DR75- D Series Ring Set. 75mm Adjustable Rings
ADM produces the highest quality products I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. Equal, if not exceeding those offered by Losmandy or Stellarvue with the outstanding customer service to match! I highly recommend ADM products.
Review For DVCW-SM- D and V Series Counterweight with Side Mounted Option and 3″ Threaded Rod
Very well made accessory. It mounted to the rail with no issues and I was able to balance the 3rd axis on my 8″ Edge HD (the weight ended up at the very end of the threaded rod). My scope was very much out of balance on the 3rd axis even though it was perfectly… Read more “Review For DVCW-SM- D and V Series Counterweight with Side Mounted Option and 3″ Threaded Rod”
Review For Slow Motion Control Knob Set
I got 2 sets of these knobs. Originally I had 5 inch flex handle knobs on my Porta II mount. I had replaced the plastic handle knobs that came with the mount with 2 – 5 inch flex handle knobs. There are 2 exposed shafts on each axis and I was covering the exposed shafts… Read more “Review For Slow Motion Control Knob Set”
Review For VPA-FF- V Series to V Series Dovetail Adapter
This dovetail adapter is extremely convenient for mounting accessories. I needed something strong and secure for attaching my finder scope when I do a visual observing night set-up. This clamp conveniently and easily allows me to assemble and disassemble components for transport and storage. A great value. I highly recommend it.
Review For DUAL-CGEM- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits Celestron CGEM Mounts
This was the 3rd ADM product I bought for my scopes. Good company. This fit my original CGEM just fine. I bought this dual-saddle version because I was looking for a way to attach my StarSense Autoalign camera directly to the mount, so I wouldn’t have to move it from scope to scope, depending on… Read more “Review For DUAL-CGEM- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits Celestron CGEM Mounts”
A Huge Asset To The Astronomical Community!
I’ve ordered several accessories from ADM and have been super-happy every time. Very high quality parts and they seem to be able to ship everything out quickly. Not sure if they keep a huge stock or (more likely) make the parts to order. A huge asset to the astronomical community!
Great Reputable Company
Great reputable company. Products are made from high quality materials and the workmanship is impeccable. This has been my go-to place when I need an accessory for my telescope. Also the customer service is amazing. I highly recommend this company.
Review For AVX-AZ – Celestron AVX Azimuth Adjustment Knobs
These azimut knobs inspire quality and are very well made, apart maybe for the length of the studs that i find a bite too long… Probably because they’re the same knobs sold for the CGEM with a different SKU code…
Review For VC8-XL- V Series Dovetail Bar for Celestron 8″ SCT Telescope. Extra Long
The owner, Anthony, is always very, very helpful and has come up with many products to fill voids created by other manufacturers. In my case, a longer dovetail for my Celestron Nexstar 8se so I could attach various items.
Excellent Quality And Fits Right
Excellent quality and fits right!
ADM Is A Great Asset For The Amateur Astro Community
I’ve ordered several items ranging from dovetails to saddles and adaptors from ADM. In all cases, the items were high quality, shipped fast and fairly priced. ADM is a great asset for the amateur astro community.
Review For DUAL-EQ6- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher EQ6/ Orion Atlas Mounts
Arrived in excellent condition to New Zealand. Very nice size, better than the original single vixen saddle that came on my pre08 eq6 pro mount. Feels good and easy to balance. Also bought the DUP15- D at the same time, fits perfectly to my esprit 100 much more secure size than the one that came… Read more “Review For DUAL-EQ6- DUAL Series Saddle.

ADM is a great resource
ADM is a great resource. Five star equipment backed by five star service. Thank you.
Review For V2D Converter – Converts V Series Mounts to a D Series Mount
This V2D series adapter is a quality part I trust to hold even heavy OTA’s such as my deforked Celestron CPC925 DX or my Meade LX 10″ OTA’s without worry of an accidental failure or slip of the dovetail. Quality “Pride of Ownership” shows in this machined top quality adapter. Solid design completely clamps the… Read more “Review For V2D Converter – Converts V Series Mounts to a D Series Mount”
Review For VPA-SYNTA-FF- V Series to SYNTA Dovetail Adapter
I use this adapter block to mount my ASI Air Pro to all my refractors that I use for imaging and autoguiding. My refractors each have an ADM V-series dovetail bar (inverted) on top of the tube rings. It’s a rock solid way to carry accessories using ADM’s VPA-FF-V -series dovetail adapters . I’m a… Read more “Review For VPA-SYNTA-FF- V Series to SYNTA Dovetail Adapter”
Review For DVPA-TV- D Series Dovetail Adapter for TeleVue Mounts
Product performs well. The manual says that washers are needed to mount the product on the televue head, to allow for clearance to operate the adapter’s locking lever, and that is also how I mounted the adapter. The website does not show or mention this, and so this requirement came as a surprise to me.… Read more “Review For DVPA-TV- D Series Dovetail Adapter for TeleVue Mounts”
Review For VC8 – V Series Dovetail Bar for Celestron 8″ SCT Telescope
Hi, I recently deforked my 25 year old Celestron Ultima 8″ SCT optical tube so I could put it on my new, Orion Sirius EQ-G Go-To Mount. After removing the scope from it’s fork, I needed a dovetail bar to complete the project. I’m very pleased that I decided to purchase your dovetail bar for… Read more “Review For VC8 – V Series Dovetail Bar for Celestron 8″ SCT Telescope”
Review For VPA-SYNTA-FF- V Series to SYNTA Dovetail Adapter
Purchased this to mount a guide scope mount with a synta base on my Skywatcher refractor. Unlike the synta mounting slot on the ota, this ADM adapter provides a solid, secure mount. Perhaps a bit overbuilt for it’s purpose but like all of the ADM products I have bought, it’s beautifully machined and finished.
Review For CGEM-TKS – Celestron CGEM Tripod Knob Set
These are exceptional. I strongly dislike the plastic levers the CGEM and CGEM II ship with. These should’ve been “in the box,” or something equally easy to use. They are much easier to get a proper lock on your tripod legs with than the originals.
Review For MAX Guider ALT/AZ Aiming Device. Female Saddle Version
I bought this to help simplify the alignment process between my piggybacked and main scopes. The first time I mounted my 80mm scope on my main 6″ refractor I was really impressed by the smooth action and steady pointing accuracy. Using rings to adjust the centering in the past was always a pain and took… Read more “Review For MAX Guider ALT/AZ Aiming Device. Female Saddle Version”

Review For ADM DUAL-EQ6N- DUAL Series Saddle
Prior to shipping, Anthony noted I’d ordered the wrong saddle adapter for my Orion Atlas Az/Eq-g Pro. He made sure I ordered the correct one. All that was required to replace the stock saddle was to loosen three grub screws on the head, pull out the old one, and drop in the ADM replacement. The… Read more “Review For ADM DUAL-EQ6N- DUAL Series Saddle”
Review For DUP15T- D Series Universal Dovetail Bar. 15″ Long, Takahashi
ADM makes excellent quality mount accessories at reasonable prices. They also ship very quickly and shipping is generally free. I bought a D dovetail with holes and a recess milled for a Takahashi clamshell tube holder. It’s pretty much perfect.
Top Quality, Top Service!
I asked for something a bit non-standard. Anthony was accommodating and reached out to ensure clarity in my request. He went beyond expectations to ensure an excellent solution. The Saddle is beautiful as well as functional (Bling isn’t necessary, but it’s nice). Top Quality, Top Service!
Quality And Well Machined Accessories
Have always gotten quality and well machined accessories from ADM. Plus they are made in the USA and fast shipping for me.
Review For DUAL-AVX- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits Celestron AVX Mounts
Ordered on a Saturday and delivered in Seattle by USPS on Monday! This is a beautiful, well designed device, and easily installed in 10 minutes. The AVX mount screws come too tight from Celestron so be careful. Great product and great service.
Super Company!
Well made parts, fast shipping and competitive pricing – ADM solves a lot of problems for astronomers with their innovative product lines as well as main stream components. super company!
Review For DPA-POLE- D Series Dovetail Adapter for PoleMaster Mounting
As with everything from ADM the quality of workmanship is superb. I also think the design has been updated since from what I read from blogs in the past is that the mount had a single screw to attach the Polemaster right angled mounting plate to the base. This version has two screws so that… Read more “Review For DPA-POLE- D Series Dovetail Adapter for PoleMaster Mounting”
Review For VC8-O- V Series Dovetail Bar for Celestron 8″ SCT Telescope. Orange Anodized
Perfect! Modernizing my 1978 orange tube C8 so it will go on my Advanced VX mount and it fit perfectly. Beautifully machined parts and they shipped it out in a day. USPS/Canada Post took awhile but well worth the wait. The quality of these parts just shine through. (Someone gave me a Celestron V Dovetail… Read more “Review For VC8-O- V Series Dovetail Bar for Celestron 8″ SCT Telescope. Orange Anodized”
Review For D2AS – D Series to Arca Swiss Adapter. Converts D Series Mounts to an Arca Swiss Series Mount
This was a test order for quality and delivery. The quality is first-tier, and considering the times, the delivery was reasonable. I placed an order yesterday for a D-series rail with Arca clamp to mount photo lenses on my AVX head.
Review For DVPA-SS- DV Series Dovetail Adapter for StarSense Mounting
Needed a location at the end of my ADM plate to hang my Starsense unit – this was the perfect solution and keeps it safely above the mount to prevent a collision. There’s nothing like this on the market. Better yet, I can if needed, move this StarSense and handset easily between my two AVX… Read more “Review For DVPA-SS- DV Series Dovetail Adapter for StarSense Mounting”
Finely Machined Products
I’ve bought many items over the years and never have any unpleasant experiences. Everything I’ve ordered is beautiful and works and arrives in a very short time. Thankyou for dependable service and products. Nels Johansen
Review For DM8- D Series Dovetail Bar. Fits Meade 8″ OTA’s
This bar fits better than the original bar from Meade! It’s perfectly machined with no misalignment of holes or resistance when inserting supplied screws. Once attached, it feels more sturdy than the original and gives me a little more range for balancing my setup. It was well worth the investment.
Review For DUAL-EQ6-RPRO-XL- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher EQ6/ Orion Atlas Mounts
In my opinion, this is a must have upgrade to a Skywatcher EQ6 mount. I’ve used the mount several times in the last couple of weeks and here are my observations. It corrected/reduced a cone error problem I was having with the stock head. The machining is superior to the EQ6 mount head and mounting… Read more “Review For DUAL-EQ6-RPRO-XL- DUAL Series Saddle.

Great Quality Products
ADM has a great line of finely machined products. I have purchased large saddles, dovetails, and saddle adapters.
Review For DUAL-M8- DUAL Series Saddle. 8mm Counterbored Version
Delighted with the product, and service. The saddle is beautifully crafted, and fits & works flawlessly. Delivery was extremely fast, and a small hiccup in my order was handled extremely smoothly, and extremely quickly.
Review For VRC6- V Series Dovetail Bar for Astro Tech 6″ RC Telescope
My 6” RC did not come with an accessory bar. I mounted my ED72 on top using this bar along with an ADM V female to female adapter. What a solid and great looking bit of gear! ADM hardware is the best!
Review For DUAL-EQ6-RPRO-XL- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher EQ6/ Orion Atlas Mounts
Absolutely perfect! The original eq6-r saddle dropped my telescope and crushed my brand new camera – needless to say I was going to upgrade it before ever using the mount again. This fit the bill. I can now trust that my gear is not going to fall down ugh. Thanks ADM, I wish I had… Read more “Review For DUAL-EQ6-RPRO-XL- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits SkyWatcher EQ6/ Orion Atlas Mounts”
ADM D rail for Celestron 8″ CPC, Rings and Counterweight
I had a couple of questions, and Tony gave me a quick response. Placed the order (4th time I’ve ordered from them), items were well packed and worked just like how he described. Great folks to deal with.
Review for DUAL-CG5- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits Celestron CG5 Mounts
First I want to say that the assistance and support I received, particularly as a new customer from ADM and from the owner and founder, Mr. Anthony Davoli won me over instantly, it was absolutely amazing. I have the CG5 dual clamp installed on my ASGT CG5 mount holding my Celestron 9.25 SCT. It is… Read more “Review for DUAL-CG5- DUAL Series Saddle. Fits Celestron CG5 Mounts”
Review for Female to V Series Female Adapter
This is some of the best made, well thought out accessory equipment I have ever used. Besides the female V adapter I also purchased the ADM dovetail bar and now I can move my accessories between set-ups with ease. I can’t recommend ADM high enough!
Review for DVPA-SS- DV Series Dovetail Adapter for StarSense Mounting
When I saw this adapter on the ADM site my wish had been answered. I had been looking for a way to mount my StarSense on my Celestron 11” Edge OTA in my NexDome Observatory. With the SS in its home position off center on the rear cell of the OTA it was difficult to… Read more “Review for DVPA-SS- DV Series Dovetail Adapter for StarSense Mounting”
Review for DC8- D Series Dovetail Bar. Fits Celestron C8 OTA’s
Fits my EdgeHD 800 perfectly. Ended up flipping my SCT upside-down so I could use the original Vixen rail for my accessories. This dovetail is a huge improvement over my original rail! I will soon be replacing the Celestron vixen dovetail with the ADM one; they’re that much better. Thank you for the awesome products!
Review for VR75 – V Series Dovetail Ring Set. 75mm Adjustable Rings
Got my order finally. Service and dispatch was awesome. Unfortunately Covid played havoc with international shipping times, but shipping tracking kept me informed. Thrilled with the careful packaging and the quality of the items when they arrived.
Review for DUP7M- D Series Universal Dovetail Bar. 7″ Long, 60mm Spacing
Always 1st rate. Love that they are made in USA as well. Anthony did a special order job for me on these and 2 other Losmandy plates, and they turned out fantastic, cannot say enough about ADM. You will not be disappointed.
Review for VC8-O- V Series Dovetail Bar for Celestron 8″ SCT Telescope. Orange Anodized
ADM is an amazing business. A niche that is a gold mine for the backyard astronomer. Without the part they provided I would have had to scrap an OTA and mount that were both still useable. Excellent products service and knowledge. Also unbelievable response time.

Review for DUAL-CGEM-II DUAL Series Saddle. Fits Celestron CGEM Mounts
My OEM saddle knobs started to rust and the plate itself only accepted Losmandy dovetails. I recently purchased a scope that uses Vixen type dovetail, so I decided to upgrade to a dual saddle.

Review for Slow Motion Control Knobs
Purchased these slow motion knobs to replace the manufacturer’s knobs on my Vixen Porta Mount ll. The original were made of plastic and had no screw to anchor them down on the rod.
