L-Mount with Knob for Heavy Duty Planetary Astro Tracker

This is a L-Mount with a 3/8" hole on the Tracker side and a 1/4" hole on the Ballhead side. You can also screw a 12mm counterweight shaft in the L-Mount.

If you loosen the knob a little, you can align and balance your camera comfortably.

if you want to use a counterweight, make a 12mm shaft with a 1/4" thread at one end. This thread then goes through the L-mount into the ball head.

A suitable counterweight is available from Sky-Watcher.

I printed the L-Mount with Princore Carbon PETG, and it is very stiff.

Update:

Much more stiffer is the L-MountHD (HeavyDuty) with the 12mm counterweight shaft.

Happy printing!
