The carbon fibre legs feature independent movement with three locking angles and a push-button locking system. The rubber feet feature three distinct contact surface providing a grip whether the legs are vertical, on an angle, or nearly horizontal when positioned. You can remove the rubber feet and replace them with the included spiked feet if you wish.

The S4Pro head has two steps of counterbalance and features fixed pan and tilt drag and has independent pan and tilt locks. The tilt range is +90/-65°, while the pan range is a full 360°. The included camera plate can be adjusted forward/backward to let you find the optimal balance for your camera. An integrated safety catch helps ensure that the plate doesn't accidentally slide free and introduce your camera to the effects of gravity. Two camera screws are supplied—1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16—that can be stored underneath the camera plate on the head itself, in dedicated slots. For attaching accessories, there's a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on each side of the head to which you can secure articulating arms.

Kendrick Secondary Heater Wrap-Small heaters are designed to work with Newtonian/Dobsonian secondary mirrors that are attached to a “stalk”, but don’t have enough exposed mirror to use our “Split-Ring” or Elliptical style heaters. The heater warms the stalk, and that heat is then conducted to the mirror.

How to choose the right model for your telescope?

It’s easy! You just need to make a few easy measurements. We can’t help you to choose because we don’t have your telescope in our shop and there are literally thousands of models and “eras” of these telescopes. Even models that have been in continuous production for decades frequently change the mirror assembly design, so we don’t want to suggest a model that might not work. The good news is …. you have the telescope in-hand, so a few quick measurements is all it will take to find the perfect fit. Look below and you will see a link to a template that will help you find the perfect fit.

Sizing Template

Use this template to test for best fit. Simply print a copy and cut-out the template shapes and test fit. Take note of the portion of the heating element that is non-heated (1 1/8″ or 28mm). Also give consideration that the mirror collimation mechanism needs some room to move.

All models include easy electrical connectors and a neoprene wrap-around insulator which greatly enhances the performance of these heaters as it prevents the warmth generated by the heater from dissipating into the atmosphere.

The power draw is incredibly low using only 0.3amp or 4 watts at 100% Controller setting

This model is a simple strip-heater that can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. There are 3 sizes available.

KENDRICK PREMIER DEW HEATERS

Kendrick Premier heater 11 inch is the best heater made and they produce considerably more heat than any other brand.

You don't always need the extra heat, but there are going to be times when you are glad to have it.

Our Premier Heaters are designed to be used with cameras and camera lenses, telescopes optics of all kinds, binoculars and temperature sensitive electronics.

Our Premier Heaters require the purchase of one of our Dew Controllers.

We have heater systems for virtually any optic or electronic device used in amateur astronomy, outdoor photography and medical operating rooms. They are designed to keep electronic devices functioning and optics moisture free in humid and/or cold working environments.

The Premier Heater line is our flagship brand and our highest quality heater. They are built of the highest possible quality materials and the heaters are custom built to our electrical specifications. These are not off-the-shelf heaters! We use the best quality velcro, elastic and flex heaters available for this line. The cables are cold flexible down to temperatures of -40 and the cable housing is custom make for Kendrick to our specifications. All our competitors use cable that gets stiff and brittle in cold environments.

Our heaters have been built to use only as much power as necessary and thereby not waste energy. They have built-in foam insulation on one side to help prevent heat loss in the atmosphere and direct the warmth generated by the heaters into the optics.

The table below will help you to determine which heater is the right one for you scope.
