These dovetail plates bolt onto the rings of the M300 or BRC-250 and provide a "D" dovetail that fits NJP & EM400/EM500 saddles, the Robin Casady Dove8 saddle for Astro-Physics and G-11, the Astro-Physics DOVELM, the Losmandy G-11, Titan, and other mounts that accept Losmandy "D" dovetails.

The BRC-250 plate is extended 5" at one end for better balancing heavy cameras.

The longer plate allows more travel for balancing in DEC, will block the M-300 focuser port unless it is turned with the extra length towards the front.

Robin Casady BRC-250 Plate
The new plate fits perfectly and really looks great. The build quality is at the same high standards I've experienced with your other dovetail saddles and counter weights- thoughtfully designed, well crafted and finely finished. Until now, Mewlon 300 owners had only two mount options for their OTA: a heavy, two piece dovetail system that added about ten to fifteen extra pounds to the scope's already considerable weight or the use of a large Tak accessory plate that required tools, added several minutes to your setup or break-down routine and always introduced the risk of banging on the finish of the scope or the mount . Your Mewlon 300 dovetail avoids both of these problems; the machined cavities significantly reduce the plate's overall weight without reducing its strength and the integrated dovetail provides a secure hold that can be quickly engaged or disengaged from the saddle without the use of tools.

I am extremely satisfied with and my back is eternally greatful for this product. Thanks for a job well done!
