Filter Drawer MINI Player One (SKU: POA-FD-MINI) is an ultra-compact drawer designed specifically for the small Player One cameras with a cylindrical carbon body ( Neptune, Mars, Mercury, Gemini series, etc.). It allows for the rapid replacement of a single 1.25″ filter without having to unscrew the camera from the focuser, which significantly simplifies the set-ups used in planetary, solar and lunar astrophotography.
• Supports one 1.25″ filter (in a standard M28.5 × 0.6 filter mount)
• super low profile – total optical length of only 15 mm
• magnetic-mechanical latch system allowing you to remove the cassette with one hand
• telescopic thread: external 1.25″ (nose 31.8 mm) – fits directly to most eyepiece extensions
• camera thread: T-thread M42 × 0.75 (removable CT adapter included)

The MINI drawer is the perfect solution for fans of planetary and solar observations who need quick replacement of IR-cut, UV-IR, CH4 filters or narrowband Ca-K and H-α filters, and at the same time want to keep the optical system as short and light as possible. In combination with passive PCS cooling, it creates a rigid, yet mobile set for demanding astrophotographers.
