Very nice piece of work. Consists of a 6” V-style saddle bolted to a 7” D-style plate. Black anodized satin finish, with some underlying machining marks visible on the V saddle. Likewise on the clear satin anodized finish of the two clamping bolts. Even when fully tightened the knobs clear the edge of the D-plate by 1/2” so it’s unlikely they will run into any interference with your mount’s saddle. A nice touch are the non-metallic washers between the clamping knobs and the moving portion of the V-saddle, so no metal to metal contact to scuff and score. The saddle opens very wide, so there should be no issues there. But, if you are like me and like to open the saddle just enough to slide the scope in (so it doesn’t rock out before you get it tightened) you will appreciate the bevels of the V-saddle that slightly widen the opening on each end. Likewise, the dovetail on the D-plate is slightly narrowed on each end to make sliding it into your mount’s saddle a bit easier. Well done!

Bought 2 from FLO. The second one I received was different. The vixen plate was different than the photo, the L plate was different than the one I got from my first order, and worse, spacers were missing. As such, the big knobs do not allow to tight the V plate when the adapter is put in a CEM40. Here are some photos about the issue, the V plate received which doesn’t look like the website and another one showing the spacers that were provides before but not anymore. FLO told me ADM changed the design. Clearly the new design is not good, and even worse than the first one.

Mathieu, The D2V works with most mounts and I am aware of the knob conflict you describe with the wider VersaPlate style saddle plates. The wider VersaPlate style saddles require the D2V-VP which has the extra long knobs needed for the wider saddle that you have. There are a few different ways to build the D2V. One of the great things about ADM Acceessories is many of the parts are interchangeable. The first D2V may look different from the photo but should function the same. The risers shown in your photos is a custom made adapter and was never an off the shelf product. If you require the riser blocks please have FLO contact me and we can get them to you. Thank you.

Thank you Anthony! I cannot edit the previous review, but to make the D2V plate compatible with the CME40 we just need to add 2 washers to extend the knobs. What I don’t understand is that the first version I got from FLO was then a customized version since it had 2 riser blocks included and the Losmandy plate was also different (more holes).
