It fixes to the base of the finder and provides the attachment point that the Gaius needs, so the unit rides on the tube instead of hanging from the mount, the tripod or a bundle of cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMount the Gaius on the tube, not on the rig\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn most setups the control box ends up wherever there is a spare bit of velcro or a free spot on the dovetail, which usually means longer cable runs to the camera, the focuser and the dew heaters, and a box that swings around when the mount slews. Fitting the support base to the telescope's finder mount solves that: the Gaius is carried by the optical tube, close to the equipment it controls, and it moves with the tube through the whole session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses the finder base you already have\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it attaches to the existing finder base, the support base does not ask you to drill the tube or add brackets to the tube rings. It is a simple, dedicated part for one job, which keeps the installation reversible and leaves the telescope unchanged if you later move the Gaius to another rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRB-Focus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupport base \/ mounting bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRB-Focus Gaius control box; attaches to the telescope's finder base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x RB-Focus support base for Gaius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/pages\/rb-focus-warranty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRB Focus 2-Year Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RBFocus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68166977290469,"sku":"RBF-Gaius-Support","price":41.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/78d234_b974c38df61e4d80be063f41ddbab6c1_mv2.png?v=1794686512","url":"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/products\/rb-focus-support-base-for-gaius","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
