    Designed to eliminate vignetting when paired with ZWO cameras like the ASI6200MM Pro.

    Minimal Power Requirements

    Operates with a single USB 2.0 cable, consuming just 120mAh @ 5V.

    Connect directly to the USB hub of ZWO Cooled Cameras for effortless cable management.

    Two Configurations Available
