The Observatory PLUS clamp is the long version designed for heavy instruments equipped with a Vixen or Losmandy dovetail. Its 280 mm length and four clamping blocks set it apart from the compact PLUS clamp.
The listed weight is 2 kg. The CNC-machined aluminum is sandblasted and then hard-anodized. Threaded holes, through holes, and slots allow for connection to other PLUS components. The product description lists it as a replacement for a mount jaw or as a base plate for parallel instruments.
Before installing on an existing mount, the mounting geometry must be verified: the compatibility specifications for Vixen and Losmandy profiles describe the mounting bars provided, not universal compatibility with all mount heads.
The manufacturer specifies that the product is designed for heavy loads, but no specific load limit is provided. Therefore, the jaw must not be presented with a load capacity derived from its length or mass. The bars and instruments are components to be connected.
