MEC 003 Adapter: Use this adapter to mount your column to our Denali tripod or to any heavy-duty tripod using the standard 3/8-16 camera tripod thread. 

MEC 010 Adapter: Use this adapter to mount to most import telescope mount tripods including Vixen tripods, the Celestron AVX/GP tripods and many others. Measure the diameter of the attachment bolt on the tripod. It should be slightly less than 10 mm indicating it is a metric M10 thread.

MEC 012 Adapter:  Use this adapter to mount the column to larger import tripods that use a metric M12 bolt (such as the Celestron CGEM).  Measure the diameter of the attachment bolt on the tripod. It should be slightly less than 12 mm indicating it is a metric M12 thread.

 

 

*SPECIAL NOTE ON FORMER MEC002 COLUMNS: Our original column used a 5/8" base adapter that was welded in place. Sorry, these older columns were not made for these adapters.
