This means the exact same optical tube can switch between your mount and your tripod head without any conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aluminum rail is lightweight yet rigid, and the mounting holes accommodate tube rings and accessories. Ideal for compact apos and astrographs that are also used on a photo tripod during the day and while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-DSD-210-Zwaluwstaart-1.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics DSD 210 dual dovetail\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-290mm-Zwaluwstaart-2.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics DSD 210 dual dovetail\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-290mm-Zwaluwstaart-3.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics DSD 210 dual dovetail\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-290mm-Zwaluwstaart-4.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics DSD 210 dual dovetail\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-290mm-Zwaluwstaart-5.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics DSD 210 dual dovetail\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-290mm-Zwaluwstaart-6.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics DSD 210 dual dovetail\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dual profile: Vixen and Arca-Swiss in one rail<\/li><li>210 mm (8.3 inch) length<\/li><li>Switch without conversion between mount and photo tripod<\/li><li>Light and rigid aluminum with mounting holes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fits in Vixen saddle clamps and Arca-Swiss tripod heads.
