Two pieces, one balanced setup. This kit pairs the 95S cradle with its purpose-built balancing plate, giving you a mounting solution and a fix for one of the trickiest balance problems in the Takahashi lineup, all in one bundle.
Solves the FSQ-85EDX's front-heavy problem. The FSQ-85EDX's Petzval design packs an oversized triplet cell up front, shifting weight forward more than a short tube and standard rings can balance out. The included offset balancing plate shifts the center of gravity back, so the scope actually balances on the mount instead of fighting it.
Built for the EM-200. The balancing plate is designed to work with the Takahashi EM-200 mount, so this kit slots straight into a proven pairing rather than requiring extra workarounds.
Made to match your mount. The 95S 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 95S cradle gets the kind of attention to detail a mass-produced bracket never sees, with felt-lined contact points that keep your optical tube scratch-free.
