Description

Camera Adapters

How do you attach your camera?

Over the years, Optec has developed dozens of adapters and custom fittings for various cameras and mounts. While most astronomical cameras have a female T-thread mount, many of the larger chip cameras are now being offered with even larger mechanical interfaces, such as the relatively new 3-inch 24tpi female mount available on Apogee, SBIG, and a modified version on the FLI cameras. However, there are a variety of other mounts such as the STL 4-bolt mount.

We classify our camera mounts by the size and shape of the "telescope" side mechanical interface for a typical configuration. These mounts correspond to many of our astronomy products. For example:

  • OPTEC-2300 Camera Adapters for use with the Pyxis rotator, IFW Universal Mounting Ring, and Perseus 4-port parfocalizing rings.
    • The OPTEC-2300 circular dovetail mount is used for the TCF-S focuser and IFW filter wheel to allow easy connections from most any camera. If your scope or accessory is not listed, do not hesitate to call.
  • OPTEC-2380 Mounting Rings are threaded mounts for use with the IFW and MAXfilter systems. 
    • The OPTEC-2380 circular dovetail mount is used for the IFW Intelligent Filter Wheel and Perseus 4-port selector parfocalizing rings to attach most cameras and accessories.
  • OPTEC-3000 Dovetail Mounts for use with the 3-inch TCF-S3, Pyxis 3", and IFW-3.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Matthew Q. ★★★★★

The threading is precise and smooth, so my camera connects without any wobble or tilt. It's a solid, well-machined ring that does exactly what it should for a secure fit.

Eli ★★★★★

The 2-inch short thread makes attaching my camera so much easier compared to the longer adapters I’ve struggled with before. It fits snugly without any wobble, which is exactly what I needed for sharp focus.

William T. ★★★★★

Finally, a mounting ring that actually holds my camera rigidly without any wobble—the short 2" thread makes it perfect for tight focuser setups. Machining is precise and the anodized finish feels durable.
