This is sturdy and even includes the Allen wrench needed for snug installation. It worked well with older spotting scopes that had cork and rubber layers on their small tripod mounting blocks. Cutting a piece of cork or inner tube to add friction might be needed if your lens or scope has a metal foot for 1/4-20 tripod bolt to enter.
So, this is useful as long as: 1) you consider the 1-point attachment and make sure you scope or lens can't rotate on the bolt as a surprise and 2) your scope or lens has the tripod collar or foot near the balance point - this short adapter will only slide factions of an inch in a dovetail for balance.
If these concerns are met, then leave this on a spotter or small Maksutov for use with many dovetail type astronomy mounts. You can also put a good alt az astro mount to double-duty for daytime telephoto photography use with this adapter.
Pros: secure bolt all metal, adds mount option for older spotters telephotos
Cons: make sure this can't rotate at bolt, short length won't slide far to balance
Yes, I recommend this product!

This adapter is sturdy and well made and works fine, but I'd like to see a non-skid surface of some kind, perhaps a cork layer like most quick releases tripods have. That would help keep the camera from rotating without having to tighten the screw so much. Also, a screw that didn't require a tool to tighten would be nice.
Pros: sturdy
Cons: needs too much tightening
Yes, I recommend this product!
