  • Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate - R31/R27 Compatible

    Achieving a perfectly flat field with Player One's Ares, Uranus PRO, or Apollo PRO series cooled cameras requires a secure, adjustable connection to your filter wheel. The Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate is the purpose-built solution, using a 4-point adjustment system to eliminate sensor tilt when connecting to Phoenix filter wheels or the Filter Drawer MAX, ensuring your stars are sharp from corner to corner.

    Precision Field Correction for Player One Cooled Cameras

    Even with high-quality optics, minor tilt in the imaging train can cause elongated stars in the corners of your images, especially with fast optical systems. This tilter plate introduces a 4-point adjustment mechanism between your Player One carbon fiber cooled camera and filter wheel, allowing you to make fine corrections and achieve a truly flat focal plane for professional-grade results.

    Seamless Integration with Phoenix Wheels and Filter Drawer MAX

    This rear tilter plate is engineered specifically for the Player One ecosystem, ensuring correct spacing and a rigid mechanical connection. It is the designated interface for connecting specific cooled cameras to Player One's large-format filter wheels and drawers.

    • Compatible Cameras: Ares series, Uranus PRO series, Apollo PRO series (Carbon Fiber cooled models).
    • Compatible Filter Wheels: Phoenix Wheel 7x36mm, 7x2", 7x50mm, and 5x2".
    • Compatible Filter Drawers: Filter Drawer MAX.

  • What problem does the Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate solve?

    The Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate corrects for sensor tilt within your imaging train. This tilt can cause stars in the corners of your astrophotos to appear elongated or out of focus. By providing a 4-point adjustment system, it allows you to precisely align the camera sensor perpendicular to the light path, ensuring a flat field with sharp stars across the entire frame.

    Which Player One cameras is the Rear 4P Tilter Plate compatible with?

    This tilter plate is specifically designed for Player One's Carbon Fiber cooled camera series. This includes the Ares series, Uranus PRO series, and Apollo PRO series cameras.

    Can I use the Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate with Phoenix filter wheels?

    Yes, this is its primary purpose. The Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate is designed to connect compatible cameras to the Phoenix 7x36mm, 7x2", 7x50mm, and 5x2" filter wheels, as well as the Filter Drawer MAX.

    I'm using a Player One Ares-C Pro with a fast refractor and see elongated stars. Will this tilter plate help?

    Absolutely. Elongated stars in the corners, especially with fast optics like an f/5 refractor, are a classic sign of sensor tilt. The Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate is the correct accessory to address this issue, allowing you to adjust the sensor plane to match your telescope's focal plane perfectly.

    How do I connect my Player One Apollo PRO camera to a Phoenix 7x2" filter wheel?

    The Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate is the specific component required for this connection. It mounts to the rear of the Apollo PRO camera and provides the correct interface and tilt adjustment capabilities before attaching the Phoenix 7x2" filter wheel.

    What does the '4P' in the Player One Rear 4P Tilter Plate name mean?

    The '4P' stands for 4-Point adjustment. This refers to the four adjustment screws on the plate that allow for precise, independent control over the tilt and tip of the sensor plane, offering more granular control than simpler 3-point designs.
