Sunwayfoto DT-03 Reviews

DT-03 Is Awesome

By Rick

I use this tilt head on top of a separate leveling base. The DT-3 adjustments are so smooth. Even better, my D850 with battery grip and 70-200 lens does not flop around. Great product for the money.

Perfect Wedge for Seestar S30

By Jim
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-20

I purchased the Sunwayfoto DT-03S Tilt Head with QR Arca-Type Quick Release to use with my Seestar S30 Smart Telescope for EQ Mode. This thing is well made, great build quality, smooth operation, and less expensive than the ZWO wedge. It holds it's position perfectly while holding my Telescope. It easily allows me to set up for polar alignment and tilt. A very well made product with great fit and finish. So happy I bought it.
