    Rouz Astro asked me to send in some photos & post a review if I felt like it. I am not in the habit of doing so but they earned it ! I got the rings with the dovetail combo. Wow! Speedy delivery, above & beyond customer service (I had a lotta questions) and a truly beautiful product. I recommend.

  8. Chris Joelemi –

    Nice! Lots of positions for placement. I personally wouldn’t mix between Losmandy & Vixen but it’s a great prodcut.

  9. Manuel –

    I picked the 14inch dovetail. It arrived today – the pictures don’t do it justice! The optimal size for me would be a 16inch – maybe that’s something you guys would consider stocking?

  10. Bruce T. –

    Being an astrophotography enthusiast for many years now, it’s obvious to me when something special comes along. In this case, I am really blown-away with the concept of these multi-combination dovetails. A lot of options. I now have the 11 inch bottom bar and the 8 inch on top. My refractor is looking great. I will certainly be a returning customer Rouz Astro.

  11. Mike –

    Got my pair today, the combo is so light!
    The aluminum one is done so nicely. The carbon top plate weighs next to nothing.
    Might get another long one for the other scope.
