Altair-Ex Low Profile T-Thread Camera Adapter (2" barrel)

The Altair EX Low Profile T-Thread Photo Adapter lets you connect your DSLR to any telescope with a 2" push-fit focuser barrel.

 

Choose this low profile adapter if you need to bring your DSLR or CCD camera as close to the telescope as possible to achieve focus.

 

 

You will also need a female T-Thread to camera adapter, specific to your camera make, i.e. Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, and so-on. These are widely available from any high street camera shop. In our experience, they cheapest ones sometimes don't fit very well to complex cameras like Nikon/Canon bayonet fit, due to inaccurate machining, so try to buy from a reputable company.

 

The T-Thread on this adapter is located on the outside of the top ring - commonly known as a "male" T-Thread or "outside" fit. Your camera adapter or accessory needs to have the T-Thread on the inside for it to fit.

 

We also sell a longer version of this adapter with a 40mm extension, in case you need to move your camera away from the telescope focuser instead of closer. See the related products links below.
