    Trouble with scope mounting reliably to tripod head, gets wobbly/falls off

    Thanks! Does that plate fit into the same socket as the one I got with the head (which I think is the 200PL), or do I have to get a completely new head? Also what about plates like these? I can't tell if they're prperly fit in the head or not... I think not...

    Trouble with scope mounting reliably to tripod head, gets wobbly/falls off

    For a while I used a screw, but the problem is that the Manfrotto QR plate holes are too small in diameter - I think they are the width of the needed screw shaft rather than the width including the threads, so any screw that would properly screw in will not fit through the plate.

    Trouble with scope mounting reliably to tripod head, gets wobbly/falls off

    Hi - I have the Celestron Regal M2 80ED, attaching to a Manfrotto MHXPRO-2W XPRO head, which has the standard Manfrotto QR plates. This connection has always been unsatisfactory, because in regular use no matter how much I try to tighten it it inevitably becomes loose and starts to wobble...

    Fixed eyepiece for Celestron Regal M2 80ED

    Thanks for all your help. It did look similar in visual use. They gave me an RMA and I'm going to send it back for replacement.

    THANK YOU! I had unscrewed the stock lens instead of pulling it straight out.

    Help with fitting Hyperion to Regal M2 80 ED?

    Hi - Very new to all this, but I bought a used Baader Hyperion 17mm to try out on my Celestron Regal M2 80 ED. I feel like an idiot, but I can't quite figure out how they go together. I'm either missing a piece or something unscrews but I can't figure out what. I attached pictures of the...

    Fixed eyepiece for Celestron Regal M2 80ED

    I have the Celestron Regal M2 80ED. Mine came with the zoom lens, not the LER. At the lowest zoom, the scope is great. But I hate it at higher mags. I don't have other scopes or experience to compare it with, but I find that I have to basically leave it at 20x because anything higher is...
