[7.6 x 4 x 0.6"] B&H had this in stock when all the rest of my astronomical go-to suppliers were out of stock. 5

[1.2 lb] Wonderfully built. Its a shame that you cant bolt with headed screws from both sides. Some countersunk bits on both sides would help. 5

James	02/09/2024
[7.6 x 4 x 0.6"] I needed a dovetail plate to mount my Lunt solar scope to the Losmandy G11 mount. Looks great and was the perfect fit! 5

[1.3 lb (0.6 kg)] I specifically needed a dovetail plate to a attach my camera to a star tracker. B&H had two listed on their website, but one was back ordered so I bought this one. So far so good. It is solid and sturdy and provides options for placement of camera on it. 5

[7.6 x 4 x 0.6"] This a Vixen style plate although it has the Losmandy name associated with it. It does the job for a small refractor or camera and telephoto lens secured to an EQ mount. 5
