Made to match your mount. The 80S 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.
Bolted on, not balanced on. Two 8.8 mm mounting holes and the included M8 screws lock the cradle securely to your Takahashi mount, so your optical tube stays put through every slew.
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 80S 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 the FS-60CB. With an 80 mm internal diameter, the cradle is built specifically for the Takahashi FS-60CB, so the fit is exact rather than "close enough."
About as light as it gets. At just 500 g, the cradle practically vanishes into a compact, grab-and-go setup.
