Two pieces, one balanced setup. This kit pairs the 125S cradle with its matching balancing plate, giving you a mounting solution and a way to fine-tune your tube's position on the mount in one bundle.
Made to match your mount. The 125S cradle's footprint is built specifically for the heads of Takahashi mounts, so it seats exactly where it should instead of needing to be coaxed into place.
Dial in your balance. The included balancing plate mounts beneath the cradle, letting you shift the optical tube's position on the mount to compensate for cameras, filter wheels, and other add-ons riding along.
A camera port built right in. A small flat surface on top of the cradle carries a standard 1/4"-20 (Kodak) screw thread, letting you mount a camera parallel to your main tube without any extra hardware.
Cast, not stamped. Machined from cast aluminium and finished by hand, every 125S cradle gets the kind of attention to detail a mass-produced bracket never sees.
Gentle on your glass. Felt-lined contact points cushion the optical tube, so your prized refractor stays scratch-free through every setup and teardown.
Sized for precision refractors. With a 125 mm internal diameter, the cradle is built specifically for the Takahashi TSA-120 and FSQ-106ED, so the fit is exact rather than "close enough."
