With Sky Watcher's Star Adventurer Equatorial Wedge Base users can adapt a standard photo tripod for use with the Star Adventurer mount. The wedge mounts on any tripod with a 3/8"-16 or 1/4"-20 screw and allows users to accurately set the observation location's latitude for polar alignment. The wedge features a Vixen-style dovetail saddle, and a dovetail plate with a screw to attach the Star Adventurer mount.

Works perfect
I bought this equatorial wedge to use with the AZ-GTi in equatorial mode. The big knob that tightens the dovetail was blocking the rotation of the AZ-GTi; I replaced it with a screw with a hex head and it works perfectly. The little screw going through the dovetail fits in a matching slot at the bottom of the AZ-GTi, which is nice to avoid the RA axis slipping. The wedge feels sturdy enough, and attaches perfectly to the tripod or the column that comes with the AZ-GTi.
Good product. Only one thing to be improved is base attachment screw. The screw knob hits the mount on it. I needed to order another screw not hit the mount.
The best Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Equatorial Wedge Base
This wedge is perfect for my Star Tracker
For a company selling starter mounts and accessories to newbies they are terrible. The wedge came with absolutely no instructions of ANY type. How does someone new make sense of this. It was true about the AZ-GTi also. No instructions. I guess I'm one of many who has run into this. Only thing I can say is I will NEVER purchase anyone product from Sky-Watcher.
Works good. Came with needed vixen plate for my use. Price also good, some vendors scalping, but not B&H. -Keith
The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Equatorial Wedge worked as advertised. It is well made, I had no issues with how it was put together. It made polar alinements easier to do.
