Replacement Base Adapters for M002 Mount Columns

Works great with the 12mm bolt on HD tripod.

This M10-threaded adaptor replaced the stock 3/8"-16 adaptor on the column of my M002C mount. Now it fits perfectly on a Celestron CG-5 tripod. I had one last year as well that fit on the smaller CG-4 tripod.

I got this extra base adapter with the 3/8"-16 hole so that I could mount a column to a hand railing on a balcony. This thing is a solid and well-machined chunk of metal with a smooth black finish. It's nice, functional, and reasonably priced. Be aware that no screws are provided for attaching this to your column, but as long as there are imperial socket head screws available at the local hardware store you'll be fine.

Here are some measurements, since schematics aren't shown on the main product page:

Total thickness: 1.352"
Diameter of the bit that sticks up into the column: 2.220"
Diameter of the bit that sticks out the bottom: 2.320"

Well made and fits perfectly.

Well-made and fit my needs perfectly

Quality product. Works well as intended.
