Which cameras are compatible with the ZWO 90 mm Holder Ring?
This ring is designed exclusively for ZWO cameras with a 90 mm body diameter. This includes the ZWO ASI2600MM Pro, ASI2600MC Pro, ASI6200MM Pro, and ASI6200MC Pro.
Will the ZWO 90 mm Holder Ring fit my ASI1600MM Pro camera?
No. The ASI1600 Pro has a smaller body diameter and requires the ZWO D78 Holder Ring for a proper fit. Using the 90 mm ring would result in a loose, insecure connection.
How do I attach the ZWO 90 mm Holder Ring to a dovetail bar?
The base of the holder ring has two standard 1/4"-20 threaded holes and six M4 threaded holes. You can use a 1/4"-20 screw to bolt the ring directly to a Vixen or Losmandy style dovetail bar, which then slides into your telescope mount's saddle.
Can I use the ZWO 90 mm Holder Ring to mount my ASI6200MC Pro and a camera lens for wide-field astrophotography?
Yes, this is an ideal application. By attaching the 90 mm ring to a tripod or a small dovetail bar on a star tracker, you create a very stable platform for wide-field imaging with camera lenses. It supports the weight of the camera body directly, reducing strain on the lens mount.
For my ASI2600MM Pro, is this 90 mm ring more stable than just using the camera's built-in 1/4"-20 hole?
Absolutely. A single screw can act as a pivot point, allowing the camera to rotate slightly if bumped or as cables pull on it. The ZWO 90 mm Holder Ring clamps around the entire camera body, preventing any rotation and providing a much wider, more stable connection to your mount for improved tracking and stability.
What tools are required to use the ZWO 90 mm Holder Ring?
You will need a screwdriver or Allen key to attach the ring to your dovetail plate or tripod through its 1/4"-20 threads.
