Yes, that assembly is where the counter weight rod screws in. Without that assembly, you would have to build your own adapter.

Does this bracket allow me to mount my Nikon D5500 camera to it?

Yes, I purchased this to mount my D5500 onto an Explore Scientific Twilight mount.

What material is this made of?

Machined aluminum body. Steel screws with plastic knobs.

Is there a spec on the gearing and can the camera base move 360 degrees or is there a limit?

You can contact us at support@skywatcherusa.com for the specs. you are looking for. The camera base can rotate 360 degrees.

Resistente, ligero y ajusta perfecto

Justo a la media chequé bien cómo quedaría su cámara con este, al Skywatcher Adventurer GTI no le va bien ya que el embrague de esa montura está sobre el motor
