And one would think it would be easy enough to just put the scope on the tripod head and move it around until the bolt snaps into the hole, but I found this to be very difficult in practice. So with this little thingy, I can position the scope on the tripod base, remove the PVC spacer, the bolt pops up, and screw the bolt in. It works well for me. -------------------- 10" RCX400 Televue 31mm Nagler Meade 24mm UWA Televue 16mm Nagler Televue 5mm Nagler And a steep learning curve!
