What filters can I use with the Player One Filter Drawer MAX?
The Player One Filter Drawer MAX is designed to hold any standard 2-inch mounted filter. The internal drawer features standard M48x0.75 female threads for this purpose.
How does the Filter Drawer MAX prevent tilt during an imaging session?
The drawer utilizes a 3-point locking mechanism with a metal bead screw. This system applies even pressure to hold the drawer securely against the housing, ensuring there is no flexure or tilt that could compromise focus or star shape, even with heavy cameras.
Will the Player One Filter Drawer MAX connect directly to my Poseidon-C Pro camera?
Yes. The Filter Drawer MAX is specifically designed for a direct, rigid connection to Player One's Poseidon, Zeus, and Artemis series cooled cameras. It uses an integrated 6-bolt M2.5 screw pattern to create a secure, non-threaded attachment.
Can I use the Filter Drawer MAX with the Player One FHD-OAG MAX?
Absolutely. The telescope-facing side of the drawer housing has a corresponding 6-bolt M2.5 pattern made specifically for attaching the Player One FHD-OAG MAX. This creates a solid, unified imaging train from the off-axis guider through the filter to the camera.
What if my telescope or camera doesn't use the 6-bolt pattern?
The Filter Drawer MAX also supports standard threaded connections. It ships with a variety of adapters to allow you to integrate it with other equipment that may use different threading standards, extending its compatibility beyond the Player One ecosystem.
Why choose the Player One Filter Drawer MAX over a filter wheel?
A filter drawer is an excellent choice for its simplicity, light weight, and compact profile. It is ideal for portable setups or imagers who typically use only one or two filters per target, such as for LRGB or duo-band narrowband imaging, without the weight and complexity of a motorized filter wheel.
