  • William Optics DSD 110 Plate

    The William Optics DSD 110 Plate is a robust, universal mounting solution designed to eliminate dovetail incompatibility. With a Vixen-style profile on one side and an Arca-Swiss profile on the other, this dual-sided plate fits both astronomical mount saddles and photographic clamps. Its precision construction ensures a rigid link between your optical tube and mount head.

    Dual-Sided Plate: Vixen & Arca-Swiss Compatibility

    The core of the DSD 110 Plate is its dual-sided profile. The same plate locks into a Vixen-style saddle on an astronomical mount or an Arca-Swiss clamp on a photo tripod head, so you can move a small scope or camera between them without changing plates.

    William Optics Build: CNC Machining and Anodized Finish

    Reflecting William Optics' reputation for quality, the DSD 110 Plate is CNC-machined from a solid block of aluminum for maximum rigidity and a precise fit. The plate is then finished with a protective anodization process that resists scratches and corrosion from nighttime dew. Available in Black, Red, or Grey, you can choose the color that best matches your William Optics telescope or other equipment for a clean, integrated setup.

  • What does "DSD" mean on the William Optics DSD 110 Plate?

    DSD is the name William Optics gives its dual-sided dovetail plates: a Vixen-style profile on one side and an Arca-Swiss profile on the other, so the DSD 110 fits both Vixen-style saddles and Arca-Swiss clamps.

    Can I use the DSD 110 Plate on both an astronomy mount and a photo tripod?

    Yes. The Vixen-style side fits Vixen-style mount saddles and the Arca-Swiss side fits Arca-Swiss tripod heads and clamps, so the same plate works on both. It is not a Losmandy D-style plate.

    How does the DSD 110 Plate help in a multi-user or multi-scope setup?

    The William Optics DSD 110 Plate is ideal for shared setups, such as at an observatory or an astronomy club. A small scope or camera fitted with the plate can move between a Vixen-style mount saddle and an Arca-Swiss tripod head without changing plates, saving time when sharing equipment.

    Is the DSD 110 Plate compatible with non-William Optics mounts?

    Yes. The DSD 110 Plate fits any mount or tripod head with a Vixen-style saddle or an Arca-Swiss clamp.

    How do I choose a color for my William Optics DSD 110 Plate?

    The color choice is purely aesthetic. The William Optics DSD 110 Plate is available in Black, Red, and Grey to allow you to perfectly match the color scheme of your William Optics telescope or other anodized accessories in your imaging train.

    What is the benefit of the anodized finish on the DSD 110 Plate?

    Anodizing creates a hard, corrosion-resistant outer layer on the aluminum. This protects the DSD 110 Plate from scratches, scuffs, and the effects of moisture like dew, ensuring it maintains its function and appearance after years of use in the field.
