The kit includes a dual saddle that accepts both Vixen and Losmandy rails, plus base plate, adapters, and mounting screws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows you to mount a small telescope or a heavy telephoto lens more stably than with a ball head, and the setup remains neatly balanced within the 5 kg load capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-SkyGuider-Pro-Kit-1.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron SkyGuider Pro Kit\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-SkyGuider-Pro-Kit-2.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron SkyGuider Pro Kit\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-SkyGuider-Pro-Kit-2.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron SkyGuider Pro Kit\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Heavy-duty clamp for Vixen and Losmandy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dovetail clamp grips both common rail profiles.
