    Very nice and perfect size for the Askar V

  7. Richard D. –

    The rings were a perfect fit. Well made

  8. Jim Rodgers –

    I first ordered just the light weight tube rings for my Askar V 60 / 80 scope. The clamp from Askar is a joke. I’m not sure how you can machine something that thin and expect it to hold. When I received the Rouz clamps I was impressed with the quality. Shortly after receiving the clamps I ordered the aluminum Losmandy plate and a carbon top plate. I am very happy with all the products and I will not hesitate to purchase anything from Rouz in the future. Well done.

  9. Edward Elliott –

    Love it!! Have my new SVBony MK127 Maksutov installed in them.

  10. Robert D. –

    Absolutely gorgeous tube rings!

  11. daniel estrella –

    excellent fit and finish….very light in weight, help me shave more than a pound from my telescope weight….match the carbon fiber tube of the scope and the red finish of zwo accesories and camera

  12. Brian N. –

    First off these things are ridiculously lightweight. When I pulled them out of the box I honestly couldn’t believe how light they were. On a setup where every pound matters (especially on a GEM), that’s a big deal. But what really impressed me is that they don’t feel light-duty at all. Once mounted, they’re extremely solid and rigid. No flex that I can detect, even with the scope loaded up.

    Fit and finish is excellent. Everything lined up perfectly on my carbon tube, tolerances were spot on, and the hardware feels quality. The red accents look great in person too they really clean up the whole setup without being flashy.
    The aluminum rails are just as impressive. They’re solid, perfectly machined, and the anodized finish is top notch deep, even color with no blemishes. They feel like true premium components, not an afterthought. The top clamp for my Telrad is especially well done. It locks down securely with zero play and makes positioning easy. Once tightened, it’s rock solid. The whole system printed rings paired with the anodized aluminum rails feels cohesive, thoughtfully designed, and built to last….

    • Rouz –

      Thanks for your review – very much appreciated!

  13. Joseph Ricks –

    I purchased these for a 36cm RASA. The rings are fantastic! Beautiful, flawless construction. Very “beefy” while still remaining lightweight.

  14. Jeff Bennett –

    Im very happy with this ring/plate combination. The finish is top quality and they are mechanically superior. They fit my Televue NP127is perfectly and matched my AM5 Mount just as I had planned.

  15. thomas f. –

    Dropped David Levy comet hunter by 3 #, great fit, and the tube rotates nicely with simple loosening of the rings

  16. Tom Behel –

    Excellent product. Light weight but strong and perfect fit.

  17. Joe Kettenhofen –

    High quality rings and made tough.

  18. Keith Maslin –

    Excellent rings, very strong and well put together

  19. Rondle –

  20. Richard –

    Really awesome rings and Losmandy plate. I bought the rings for a TeleVue TV-85 and the fit is perfect. Highly recommend over the TV clamshell for astrophotography.

  21. Joe Metzger –

    Excellent product and excellent service!

    Thanks

  23. FRANK –

    This was the perfect mounting solution for my recently deforked Meade 7″ Mak

  24. Mervin De Jager –

    From South Africa : We got our first tube rings from FLO and one ring’s hinge started to fail after mere weeks of occasional use. Rouz had the answer with high quality replacements that was priced just right. We very chuffed with our purchase 🙂

  25. Michel H. –

    Great quality, bit expensive, the red is NOT saturated as in the website pictures.
    Looks more like rose red: HEX # B43757.
    4 stars

    • Rouz –

      Thank you for the feedback – We’re very glad you like the quality.
      This is our premium line that is hand assembled using 70 individual parts (for a pair).
      The dovetails are discounted when purchased with the rings – We try to be as competitive as possible.
      We will try to get a “deeper” red color for the dovetails in the future.

  26. Rudy Nix –

    Reduced the weight of my setup considerable on my RC8!

  27. David Novoselsky –

    Superb, as usual. Top-notch, build quality and usability.

  28. Torben van Hees –

    Light weight and sturdy

  30. Michael F. –

    Best solution for accessorizing C6

  31. mark n. –

    Form, fit and function are top notch.
    I would recommend them to anyone who wants to upgrade their current equipment.

  32. Joe B. –

    How satisfied are you with Rouz Astro product(s)? :

    The rings I bought from you work excellent, lightweight, strong and visually appealing. I wouldn’t trust just any scope rings/dovetail with my AP110GTX. Great product and ultra lightweight win-win.
    Joe

  33. Ronald Furzeland –

    well made product, looks great on my scope

  34. Akhil –

    It’s wonderful. Rouz reached out and worked with me to find the perfect fit for my sct. The quality is top notch; highly recommended!

  35. Shawn –

    Just received my FSQ 85 rings. They are beautiful! Pictures do not do them justice! Great build quality and very light weight.

  36. William Ryan –

    I received a set of Rouz Rings already installed on my ODK10 Telescope. I was absolutely floored by the quality. I was so instantly in love with them that I threw the original steel rings away. Not only was it clear that they were way higher quality than any other ring I’d used before, but they were also the best looking rings I’ve ever seen. Not to mention, they are more thermally stable. I am not exaggerating. I went from a total skeptic to completely bought in the moment I had them in my hands. Just like that. Now, I tell everyone about them.

  37. Steve –

    Just wanted to say I got the rings yesterday. They fit perfectly and are super light, which is great. Thanks for a really nice product 🙂

  38. Mike –

    Very happy with the Rouz Astro carbon fiber tube rings and they have shaved weight off my setup – overall a beautiful product. It would be great to see additional colour options.

  39. ROBERT FEALEY –

    Have received my rings and set up my old Meade 8 in SCT. I have included a photo and I do love the quality of the rings and mount bar. I do wonder if I should have gotten a longer bar as my balance point is pretty close to the end as you can see. What do you think?

  40. Ralph Shook –

    Hello:
    I just received the 100mm rings.
    The function, fit & finish is superlative!! Very impressive!
    Thank you,
    Ralph Shook

  41. Michael Gronau –

    Very happy with my C9.25 rings, strong and light.
    I really wanted a set for my C14 which they said was not offered. Would like to see larger sizes.

  42. Torben V. Hess –

    Takahashi E-160 Rings:

    The new tubes fit perfectly and already hold the telescope since I got them. Great of you to do the paperwork correctly which spared me another round of duties and taxes. This seems to be not easy – my customs office is known for their inflexibility even in Germany.

    So, many thanks for the great service,

  43. Jerry D –

    I had read some info in CN posts about Rouz Astro rings and I have been looking for a lighter weight option to heavier steel and aluminum rings for my larger diamter scopes. Since I just purchased a Mewlon210 and was concerned about the increased base weight over the 180c. Reading the testimonials touting how strong and durable these rings are was what caught my interest. The weight savings between the metal rings and these rings for my 210 was a savings of at least 3 lbs each so with two rings that was a lot of added dead weight. I received the rings and Rouz was very attentive and helpful. He went beyond the call and even supplied me with some additional mounting bolts. I started out using just one ring to mount accessories on the scope since I am using the included dovetail on the Melwon for now. I really like the feel of the CF and how the new inserted threads are built into the CF. The main advantage is the weight savings and balance for the full image train I will be using. I can easily say that I am glad I came across these rings. They are resonably priced and still high quality. I have started to think about switching over more of my current gear over to these rings. I am a very satisfied customer.

  44. Rudy Nix –

    I just received your rings for my AT8RC! I’ve installed them and am very pleased with the fit and finish of your product. I had weighed the complete telescope with both the old and new rings and now the setup is 4.4 pounds lighter! The original rings I had on the telescope weighed 8.2 lbs. Your rings came in at 3.8 lbs, which is actually less than half of the original.

  45. Howard K. –

    Celestron C9.25 Rings –
    Thanks for making such great products
    Saves a tonne of weight
    Howard

  46. Chuck Baker –

    These are really great!  Light but more stable than thinner aluminum. I love mine on the Tak TSA120. Thanks again.

  47. Nana G. –

    The mounting ring and handle that come with the Askar FRA300 are a bit restrictive in what you can attach to them.

    The outside diameter of the scope is 82 mm so any rings had to be custom made.

    I could not find any takers till Rouz Astro started offering custom rings.
    The rings, riser blocks and the top 6″ Losmandy plate are out of carbon composite.
    The red Losmandy dovetail plate is 12” long and is out of CNC aluminum.

    The finish of all the products are of top quality and the whole rig feels very sturdy.

    He is very easy to deal and communicate with and is responsive to questions and requests.

  48. Rami –

    Saved a lot of weight – very stiff and high quality in production. Great shipping service as well. Would recommend
