Elizabeth ★★★★★

My SCT back plate has M48 threads and this adapter mates perfectly with it, making setup much more stable than my old T-ring arrangement. The short dovetail profile keeps the whole train nice and compact.

Adam K. ★★★★★

The M48 thread on this adapter is cut cleanly—no wobble or cross-threading when I attached my filter wheel. It’s short enough to keep the optical train compact, which helps with balance on my mount.

Ava ★★★★★

Finally, an adapter that threads on smoothly instead of fighting you the whole way, and the short 3-inch length keeps my setup nice and compact on the rig. The female M48 thread seats perfectly against my field flattener with zero play, which is exactly what I needed for a clean backfocus distance.
