  • RB Focus Camelot Field Rotator

    The RB Focus Camelot Field Rotator automates your image framing with a rotational resolution of 0.1 degrees, allowing you to save your framing angles and repeat them in later sessions. Its DualBearing system supports a substantial 5 kg load, while the entire unit weighs just 780 g. With both USB and Bluetooth connectivity, the 155 mm by 120 mm Camelot integrates directly into your ASCOM-compatible imaging workflow, enabling automated, multi-target acquisition plans in a single night.

    DualBearing System: Supporting a 5 kg Imaging Train

    At the core of the Camelot is the DualBearing system, which uses two internal bearings to provide rigid support for your camera, filter wheel, and other accessories. This design minimizes flexure even with imaging trains weighing up to 5 kg. RB Focus says this lets the compact rotator carry heavy imaging trains of 3 to 5 kg.

    DirectDrive Motor with 0.1° Rotational Resolution

    The Camelot's DirectDrive (direct transmission) avoids the mechanical play that RB Focus says is common in rotators with mechanical transmissions, and gives its 0.1-degree resolution. The InteligentSilentDrive motor system actively adjusts the motor's force as needed, for completely silent operation.

    Dual Core Processor and Onboard IPS Display

    A Dual Core processor handles rotation separately from refreshing the screen, communicating with the computer and internal functions, so the Camelot rotates whenever asked even while busy with other calculations. The integrated IPS LCD screen, now with automatic switch-off, lets you check that the rotator is working correctly, see saved settings and follow its movements in real time without looking for the value on your computer.

    Wired and Wireless Control via USB-C and Bluetooth

    Connect the Camelot to your computer by USB (a USB-C 2.0 cable is included) or through its built-in Bluetooth antennas, which reduce cables and weight on the imaging train.

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

    Because it follows the ASCOM standard, the Camelot works with the capture programs RB Focus names: APT, SGP, N.I.N.A. and Voyager. RB Focus supplies a simple controller with minimal, easy-to-understand settings, so the rotator can be set up quickly. You can store your framing angles for future sessions and photograph more than one target in a night.

    A Compact 780 g Rotator with M72 x 1 Threads

    The Camelot weighs 780 g and measures 155 mm high by 120 mm wide. Its thread adapter is M72 x 1 mm.

  • What is the main advantage of using the RB Focus Camelot Field Rotator?

    The primary advantage is achieving precise, repeatable framing. The Camelot's 0.1-degree resolution lets you compose your target precisely, save that angle, and return to it in future sessions. It also enables automated multi-target imaging, where your software can rotate the camera to the ideal angle for each new object in your sequence without manual intervention.

    Can the RB Focus Camelot handle my heavy camera and filter wheel?

    It is rated for a maximum load of 5 kg (11 lb). RB Focus says the DualBearing system, with two bearings, avoids flexure and allows heavy imaging trains of 3 to 5 kg.

    How do I connect the RB Focus Camelot to my computer?

    By USB, with the included USB-C 2.0 cable, or wirelessly via Bluetooth, which reduces cables and weight on the imaging train.

    What software is compatible with the RB Focus Camelot?

    The Camelot uses the universal ASCOM standard, making it compatible with most major astrophotography software. RB Focus specifically names compatibility with N.I.N.A., Sequence Generator Pro (SGP), APT, and Voyager.

    How do I power the RB Focus Camelot?

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

    Will the RB Focus Camelot's motor vibrations affect my long exposures?

    RB Focus says its DirectDrive transmission avoids mechanical play and its InteligentSilentDrive system keeps the motor completely silent. RB Focus makes no specific claim about vibration.

    How do I attach the RB Focus Camelot to my telescope and camera?

    RB Focus gives its thread adapter as M72 x 1 mm and does not detail each side. Ask us which adapters you need for your focuser and camera.

    Is the RB Focus Camelot difficult to set up in software?

    No, the software is designed to be user-friendly. After installing the ASCOM driver, you connect to the rotator in your chosen capture software (like N.I.N.A. or SGP) and can begin controlling it with minimal configuration. RB Focus also offers free remote assistance with setup.

    Can I use the RB Focus Camelot to image multiple targets like the Leo Triplet (M65/M66) and the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) in one night?

    Yes. You can program a sequence in software like SGP or N.I.N.A. to first capture the Leo Triplet at your preferred angle, then automatically slew to M51 and command the Camelot to rotate the camera for the best composition of the galaxy pair, all without your intervention.

    What does the IPS display on the RB Focus Camelot show?

    The built-in IPS display provides an at-a-glance view of the rotator's current angular position and status in real-time. This is useful for confirming its orientation without needing to check your computer screen. The display switches off automatically.
