  • ZWO Dovetail Groove for ASIAIR Pro/Plus

    The ZWO Dovetail Groove provides a direct, secure mounting solution for attaching your ASIAIR Pro or ASIAIR Plus directly to any V-Series (Vixen-style) dovetail saddle. This single component replaces the original mounting foot, creating a rigid, integrated connection between your ASIAIR and your telescope's mounting plate, backed by a 2-year factory warranty.

    Direct V-Series Mounting for ASIAIR Pro & Plus

    Stop relying on straps or temporary solutions. This dovetail groove creates a solid mechanical lock between your ASIAIR and your telescope's V-Series saddle. The red anodized aluminum construction perfectly matches the ASIAIR's housing, making it look and feel like a factory-installed component. It provides a clean, stable attachment point that simplifies cable management and improves the stability of your imaging rig.

    Installation in Under 60 Seconds

    Upgrading your ASIAIR mount is straightforward. Simply remove the original dovetail plate from your ASIAIR Pro or Plus and reuse the same screw to fix this V-Series groove to the main body. The design ensures that when installed correctly, the groove's clamping bolt does not obstruct any USB ports, power connectors, or status indicator lights, maintaining full access to all functions.

    • Re-uses Existing Hardware: No need to find extra screws; the installation uses the bolt you remove from the original ASIAIR plate.
    • Maintains Port Access: Thoughtful orientation ensures the locking bolt is positioned away from critical ports and indicators.
    • Solid Connection: Eliminates the flexure and instability of less robust mounting methods.
  • How do I install the ZWO Dovetail Groove on my ASIAIR Plus?

    Installation is simple. First, unthread the screw holding the original mounting foot to the bottom of your ASIAIR Plus and remove the foot. Then, align the ZWO Dovetail Groove with the threaded hole and use the same screw to securely attach it. Ensure the side with the locking bolt faces away from the USB and power ports.

    Will this ZWO Dovetail Groove fit a Losmandy-style (D-series) saddle?

    No, this groove is designed exclusively for the narrower V-Series (Vixen) standard. It is not wide enough to be safely clamped in a D-series saddle.

    Is the ZWO Dovetail Groove compatible with the original, first-generation ASIAIR?

    No, this accessory is specifically designed for the form factor and mounting points of the ASIAIR Pro and ASIAIR Plus models only. It will not fit the original red ASIAIR unit.

    What is the advantage of using the ZWO Dovetail Groove over the stock plate?

    The stock plate on the ASIAIR Pro/Plus is a simple flat foot with 1/4"-20 threaded holes. The ZWO Dovetail Groove allows you to mount the ASIAIR directly into a V-Series saddle, which is a much more secure and common mounting method on telescope dovetail bars, providing a more stable and integrated setup.

    If I mount my ASIAIR Pro on my telescope's finder shoe, is this the right part?

    No. Most finder shoes use a Vixen-style dovetail, but this groove is meant for the larger V-series saddles found on main dovetail plates and clamps, not the smaller finder scope bracket. ZWO makes a separate finder shoe adapter for that specific purpose.

    Can I still mount my ASIAIR to a tripod after installing this ZWO groove?

    No. This groove replaces the original foot, which contains the 1/4"-20 threaded holes used for standard tripod mounting. To mount it to a tripod, you would need a tripod head that has a V-Series saddle clamp.
