Player One Astronomy Filter Drawer MAX

Product Overview

The Player One Filter Drawer MAX lets you swap 2-inch imaging filters in seconds without unthreading your camera or disturbing focus. It sits in your imaging train and holds one filter at a time in a slide-out drawer, so changing between narrowband and broadband filters is quick and repeatable.

Who It's For

This drawer is for imagers who shoot with 2-inch filters and want fast, flexure-free filter changes without committing to a full motorized filter wheel, ideal when you run one filter per session or change filters by hand between targets.

Key Features & Design

• 2-inch filter support: the drawer accepts 2″ filters via an M48 × 0.75 female thread, covering full-frame-friendly filter sizes.
• Slim 21 mm extension: the body adds only 21 mm of optical length, making it easier to fit within backfocus.
• Secure mounting: six M2.5 screw holes on each side let you bolt the drawer solidly to your camera and telescope sides for a flexure-free connection.
• Aluminum 6061-T6 build: aircraft-grade aluminum keeps the drawer rigid and light.

Recommended Uses

Use the Filter Drawer MAX for deep-sky imaging where you change 2-inch filters between sessions or targets and want the repeatable spacing of a fixed drawer rather than swapping threaded filters on the camera.

Compatibility & Accessory Notes

• Cameras: Player One lists compatibility with its Poseidon, Zeus, Artemis, and Ares series, plus Uranus PRO and Apollo PRO.
• System integration: the drawer can connect to the FHD-OAG MAX and to Player One cooled cameras, letting you build a matched, low-flexure train.
• Filters: a 2-inch filter is required; the drawer threads M48 × 0.75.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Player One does not publish a weight or full backfocus figure for the drawer; if exact spacing matters for your train, contact us and we will help you plan it.
• The MAX drawer is sized for 2-inch filters; if you need 1.25-inch support as well, consider the Filter Drawer MINI.

FAQ

Is it difficult to set up? No. You thread the drawer into your imaging train (or bolt it via the M2.5 holes), load a 2″ filter into the slide, and it holds fixed spacing from then on.

Does it hold more than one filter? It holds one filter at a time; you change filters by sliding drawers in and out, which is quick and does not disturb focus.

What filter size does it take? 2-inch filters, via an M48 × 0.75 thread.

Bottom Line

The Filter Drawer MAX is a rigid, low-profile way to run and swap 2-inch filters with repeatable spacing across Player One's larger cameras.
