🪛 Which version fits which mount?
The connections between telescope tripods and mounts have simply evolved over time. There are no fixed standards, but at least quite similar dimensions are used across different brands for similarly constructed mounts (More information here). Thus, four different adapters are sufficient to accommodate most commercially available mounts. The necessary mounting screws are included in the scope of delivery, unless otherwise specified.
