Power Cord Holder
for the
ETX Scopes
Well, actually, this could work for any scope that has a power cord. Look at this
photo.

The photos are self-explanatory. I cut a piece of 1 X 2 poplar 8 inches
long. Using a saber saw, I cut each end, not straight, but curved as you see in the
photo. Then, 1-1/2 inch from either end and 3/4 inch from the bottom of the poplar
piece, I drilled two 1/4-inch holes. I used two nylon electrical cable ties to lash
the poplar strip to one leg of the tripod -- the nylon calbe wraps go through the drilled
holes, wrap around the tripod leg, securing the wooden cord holder -- my finger is
pointing to one of the cable ties. The power cord wraps around the poplar strip,
neatly out of the way. No holes drilled into the tripod leg -- just cut the nylon
cable ties if you need to remove the cord mount. You could paint the wood if you
wish.
Here is another photo of the cord holder. The external battery pack has a nylon strap that I use
to hang the battery pack onto the cord holder.
