Vixen Telescope GP60 to 45AD

Optional adapter to attach the former GP2/GPD2 mounts to SXG-HAL130 tripod (or SXG Half Pillar)

Historically, Vixen GP Mounts and Sphinx Mounts have used different tripods. Vixen has now created one tripod, the SXG Tripod, to fit all of these mounts. With this unification, a single common tripod is used for all the different mount types such as the GP equatorial and HF2 altazimuth fork mounts. The new mounting base of the GP2/GPD2 mounts which fits the tripod head of the new SXG tripod is changed from 60mm to 45mm in diameter. The peg on the tripod head of the new SXG tripod can be positioned in place according to the mount type used. You will need this optional adapter (#25169 GP60 to 45AD) if you want to use the former GP2/GPD2 mount (60mm dia. mounting base) with the new SXG tripod.
