Nice Bracket for Small Finder Scopes
Pros:Compact,Strong Construction,Lightweight,Easy to Use
Cons: Comments:A well-made finder bracket. A second mount point between the rings and the stalk would eliminate movement of the rings.

Apr 11, 2014Excellent bracket!
Pros:Easy to Use,Compact,Accurate,Strong Construction,Lightweight
Cons: Comments:This bracket will perfectly fit a small 50mm guide scope. I have it on my GSO dual speed crayford attached to an ED-80 I use for astrophotography. This bracket allows me to precisely adjust the guide scope to center a star in Metaguide. If you have a GSO crayford then you should strongly consider this bracket. It is well worth the money and you will wonder what you did without it.

May 30, 2013They are perfectly effective.
Pros:Strong Construction
Cons: Comments:I thought that I would like to attach 6X30Finder of WO to GSO 50mmFinderBracket.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
However, the length of the screw was not suitable.
Therefore, two packs of TS02-0.75 (#8-32x0.75") of Agena was purchased.
They are perfectly effective.
It can aim at correctly, without damaging finder by the product made of resin.
I appreciate suitable advice of the staff of Agena very much.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
Apr 17, 2013Exactly what I wanted
Pros: Cons: Comments:The perfect replacement for the standard finder bracket. No longer does every little bump of the finder knock it out of alignment. This bracket is easy to install and stays in alignment and looks terrific. Should be standard on scopes with GSO 50mm focusers.

Nov 4, 2011Lightweight finder bracket
Pros:Compact,Easy to Use,Lightweight
Cons: Comments:I got a new refractor recently that didn't have a vixen style dovetail shoe on the focuser. This fit the bill for a finder bracket very nicely.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
It was very easy to mount onto the focuser and straightforward to insert and align the finder tube. It's got a nice firm grip, and does it with surprisingly lightweight construction. I didn't have to adjust the balance of the tube on my mount, which was a nice bonus.
Only possible downside is that it does feel slightly more flimsy than some of the other finder brackets I've used. It doesn't seem like it would break, but I do tend to take more care with how I pack this away when I'm not using it.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
Oct 30, 2011Nice Bracket!
Pros:Lightweight,Easy to Use,Strong Construction,Accurate
Cons: Comments:Nice complement to the GSO focuser. Users with more than one telescope will need to purchase additional bases.

Jan 7, 2011Excellent Bracket
Pros:Accurate,Strong Construction
Cons: Comments:This bracket is a must if you have a GSO crayford focuser. Fits perfectly easy to install. Matches the GSO focuser.

Apr 30, 2010Great bracket..gets the job done!
Pros:Strong Construction
Cons: Comments:I needed a bracket to hold a 9x50mm finder on a small refractor with a Crayford focuser, and this does the job quite well. The shoe is small enough not to crowd things on the scope, and it always comes back aligned after each setup. Well made.
