Description
SB09 – QD Dovetail Mount for DEDAL Night Vision Devices
Quick Detach | Precision Dovetail Interface
The Contessa SB09 QD Dovetail Mount for DEDAL is a precision-engineered quick detach mounting solution designed specifically for DEDAL night vision devices that utilize a dovetail mounting interface. Built for secure engagement, fast removal, and repeatable positioning, the SB09 provides a reliable connection between DEDAL optics and compatible rifle platforms.
Manufactured by Contessa Alessandro & C., the SB09 uses Contessa’s proven QD locking system, allowing the optic to be mounted or removed in seconds while maintaining consistent tension and alignment. This makes it particularly well suited for users who alternate between day optics and night vision or who need to remove equipment for transport or storage.
Designed as a dedicated mount, the SB09 avoids the compromises of universal adapters, ensuring correct geometry, solid engagement, and dependable performance under recoil.

Construction & Performance
The SB09 is built from high-strength materials and finished to Contessa’s exacting standards. The dovetail interface provides a rigid mechanical lock, while the QD system ensures consistent clamping force each time the mount is installed. When refitted using a consistent mounting procedure, the system delivers excellent return-to-zero performance, appropriate for night vision use.
As with all dovetail-based mounting systems, final repeatability depends on rail tolerances and mounting technique, but the SB09 is engineered to deliver reliable, predictable results in real-world conditions.
Contessa Quick Detach System
The Contessa QD system allows shooters to swap optics efficiently, move a DEDAL device between compatible rifles, and maintain operational flexibility without permanent mounting. This makes the SB09 an ideal solution for professional, hunting, and night-vision applications where adaptability matters.
Night vision already stretches perception into strange territory. The mount’s responsibility is simpler: stay aligned, stay repeatable, and stay out of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SB09 compatible with all DEDAL night vision devices?
The SB09 is designed for DEDAL devices that use a standard dovetail mounting interface. Always confirm your specific DEDAL model’s mounting requirements before purchase.
Does the SB09 retain zero after removal?
When installed using a consistent mounting procedure, the SB09 offers excellent repeatability suitable for night vision use. Minor point-of-impact shift may occur depending on dovetail tolerances and user technique.
Is this a universal dovetail mount?
No. The SB09 is a dedicated mount for DEDAL devices, designed to ensure correct geometry and secure engagement rather than broad compatibility.
Can the mount be transferred between rifles?
Yes, provided the rifles use compatible dovetail interfaces. Repeatability will depend on consistency of installation and rail dimensions.
Is professional installation required?
Professional installation is not required, but correct mounting procedure is recommended to achieve optimal repeatability and performance.
