  • RB Focus Camelot S 2" Field Rotator

    The RB Focus Camelot S 2" Field Rotator delivers automated, repeatable framing with 0.1-degree resolution while consuming only 13 mm of precious back focus. Its internal DualBall Bearing system supports imaging trains up to 7 kg without flexure, yet the entire unit weighs just 300 g. With both USB and Bluetooth connectivity and native ASCOM support, it lets you store framing angles and repeat them in later sessions.

    7 kg Capacity and 0.1° Resolution

    The mechanical core of the Camelot S 2" is RB Focus's improved DualBall Bearing system, with two bearings made in house and developed specifically for field rotators. RB Focus says it eliminates flexure and mechanical play, keeping rotation precise with imaging trains of up to 7 kg. A new high-performance motor, faster and more efficient, gives a rotational resolution of 0.1 degrees, framing precision that manual rotation cannot match.

    The IntelligentSilentDrive system adapts the motor's force to the load, for smooth and completely silent movements.

    Just 13 mm of Back Focus and a 300 g Total Weight

    Engineered for setups where every millimeter is critical, the Camelot S 2" has a profile of only 13 mm. This minimal thickness makes it possible to integrate a rotator into optical trains that are already near their back focus limit with reducers or flatteners. At 300 g, RB Focus presents it as ideal for field use, portable setups and light mounts.

    • Compact Dimensions: 155 mm high and 120 mm wide.
    • Standard Threads: The Camelot S 2" uses M48 x 0.75 threads, the standard for 2" filters and many full-frame correctors.
    • Adapter Options: It can be ordered with optional M48 male-to-male or M48 male-to-M42 male adapters to match the specific threads of your camera or corrector.

    Onboard IPS Display with USB and Bluetooth Control

    The Camelot S 2" has a Dual Core processor that rotates without delay even while it communicates with the computer or refreshes the screen. Connect it by USB (a USB-C 2.0 cable is included) or wirelessly through its built-in Bluetooth, which reduces cabling on the imaging train. The integrated IPS LCD screen, now with automatic switch-off, shows the rotator's status, saved settings and movements in real time without looking at your computer.

    ASCOM Compliance for N.I.N.A., SGP, APT, and Voyager

    Built on the ASCOM standard, the Camelot S 2" works with the capture programs RB Focus names: N.I.N.A., Sequence Generator Pro (SGP), APT, and Voyager. The included driver and simple control utility allow for quick configuration, getting you from installation to automated rotation in minutes. RB Focus also offers free remote setup assistance to help you integrate the rotator with your specific software and hardware configuration.

    Repeatable Framing for Multi-Target and Multi-Night Projects

    With the Camelot S 2" you can save the framing angle for a target and repeat it in future sessions, and photograph several targets in one night quickly and comfortably, keeping all framing values on file.

  • What is the maximum payload the RB Focus Camelot S 2" can handle?

    It is rated for a maximum load of 7 kg (15.4 lb).

    How much back focus does the Camelot S 2" use?

    The rotator has a thickness of only 13 mm. This extremely thin profile is a significant advantage for imaging systems with limited back focus, such as those using focal reducers or flatteners with strict spacing requirements.

    Can I use the RB Focus Camelot S 2" with software like N.I.N.A. or SGP?

    Yes. The Camelot S 2" uses the ASCOM standard, making it fully compatible with major astrophotography software including N.I.N.A., Sequence Generator Pro (SGP), APT, and Voyager. It will appear as a standard rotator in your equipment profile.

    How does the Camelot S 2" connect to my computer?

    You have two options for connection: a wired USB-C cable (included) for maximum reliability, or wireless Bluetooth. The Bluetooth option is excellent for reducing cable clutter and the risk of snags during rotation and slewing.

    What power supply does the RB Focus Camelot S 2" require?

    It runs on 12V DC. RB Focus lists no power supply in the box.

    What threads does the RB Focus Camelot S 2" use for connection?

    RB Focus gives its thread as M48 x 0.75 and sells it with an M48 male to M48 male adapter, an M48 male to M42 male adapter, or no adapter. RB Focus does not state the gender of the rotator's own threads; ask us if you need to confirm it.

    What does the IPS display on the Camelot S 2" show?

    The onboard IPS LCD screen provides a real-time display of the rotator's current angular position and status. This allows you to confirm the orientation at a glance without having to check your computer. It switches off automatically.

    What happens if I have trouble setting up the Camelot S 2"?

    RB Focus provides free remote assistance to help you with the initial setup and configuration of your rotator. They can help you connect it to your computer and integrate it with your chosen astrophotography software at no extra cost.
