{"product_id":"omegon-testa-equatoriale-piastra-55mm","title":"Omegon Polar Wedge with 55mm Dovetail Bar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ecompact polar wedge\u003c\/strong\u003e from Omegon is designed to pair with small travel mounts such as the MiniTrack and similar portable star trackers, allowing much more precise alignment to the celestial pole than with a common ball head. It already includes the dovetail plate needed for the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a polar wedge instead of a ball head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePointing a ball head at the Pole Star is possible, but alignment remains imprecise and hard to repeat. With this polar wedge, you can instead set the polar altitude and azimuth angle with the same precision as a large telescope, keeping the setting stable for the whole session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFine azimuth adjustment and wide tilt angle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo dedicated screws allow fine azimuth adjustment, useful for that last approach toward the pole. The adjustable tilt angle from \u003cstrong\u003e-35° to 70°\u003c\/strong\u003e covers nearly all latitudes on Earth, making it suitable also for anyone photographing while travelling in different regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded Vixen-style dovetail plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vixen-style quick clamp with locking screw lets you attach virtually any small travel mount (MiniTrack and equivalent models) quickly and securely. Since February 2026, the package includes the updated 55mm dovetail plate with screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated bubble level and aluminium body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated bubble level makes it easy to level the tripod before starting alignment. The aluminium body provides a long-lasting stable base, avoiding the limitations of generic tripod heads not designed for astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003ePolar altitude adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e-35° to 70°\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMounting plate\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVixen-style, included (55mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eTripod-side connection\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003ePhoto thread\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMaximum payload\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBubble level\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e500 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\" tripod, MiniTrack and other small travel mounts\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's recommended for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who owns a lightweight travel mount (up to 5kg payload) and wants to improve polar alignment accuracy with a compact accessory more affordable than the Deluxe models, without giving up a wide adjustment range that's also useful when travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omegon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57930201039179,"sku":"OM64973","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/1981\/1147\/files\/omegon-testa-equatoriale-piastra-coda-di-rondine-55mm_1.jpg?v=1784818520","url":"https:\/\/adriasky.it\/en\/products\/omegon-polar-wedge-55mm-dovetail-bar","provider":"Adriasky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
