This is a mini-EQ wedge for the seestar that provides better balance over the tripod than a standard wedge. Because of the more balanced weight, this wedge is even usable with the Seestar S30 mini tripod.

Includes everything you need to adapt your Seestar S30 or S50 to use Equatorial mode. A latitude adjustment base and vixen to 3/8" adapter plate for using the SeeStar S30 or S50 in Equatorial Mode.

Note: The SeeStar will thread onto the mounting plate, but it may not initially be oriented correctly for polar alignment. To fix this, open the SeeStar app, connect to your scope, and use Scenery Mode to rotate the device into the proper position.

The SeeStar rotates around the Vixen-style 3/8" connection. Simply enter Scenery Mode in the app and use the arrow pad to rotate the base—there’s no need to open the scope's arm. Once aligned, exit Scenery Mode and proceed with your polar alignment.

This adjustable alt-az base/wedge also fit with other small camera mounts.
