Adapter/dovetail to fit Hadley telescope on Manfrotto tripods using the Befree Fluid Drag System (MVH400AH) head.

As Manfrotto tripods do not use the standard Arca Swiss Mount, I had to create a new dovetail to support my Hadley telescope.

The model fits slightly loose within the head support, but once the lateral screw is tightened the support is really stable.

3D printed and tested with 0.2mm layer height, 0.8 wall thickness and 80% infil without supports. I wouldn't recommend going below 50% infil.
