Product Overview

The Player One Filter Drawer MINI brings fast, drop-in filter changes to compact imaging trains, accepting both 1.25-inch and 2-inch filters through a pair of included drawers. Swap filters in seconds without unthreading your camera or losing focus.

Who It's For

This drawer is for imagers running Player One's Ares-series, Uranus PRO, or Apollo PRO cameras who want quick, repeatable filter changes in a small footprint and use either 1.25″ or 2″ filters.

Key Features & Design

  • Two drawers included: one 1.25″ drawer (M28.5 × 0.6 female thread) and one 2″ drawer (M48 × 0.75 female thread) cover both common filter sizes.
  • Slim 21 mm extension: only 21 mm of added optical length keeps you within tight backfocus budgets.
  • Secure mounting: six M2.5 screw holes on each side bolt the drawer firmly to the camera and telescope sides.
  • Aluminum 6061-T6 build: aircraft-grade aluminum keeps the assembly stiff and lightweight.

Recommended Uses

Use the Filter Drawer MINI for deep-sky and planetary imaging on compact rigs where you switch between 1.25″ and 2″ filters and want the fixed, repeatable spacing of a drawer instead of threading filters onto the camera.

Compatibility & Accessory Notes

  • Cameras: Player One lists compatibility with its Ares series, Uranus PRO, and Apollo PRO.
  • Filters: the included drawers accept 1.25″ (M28.5 × 0.6) and 2″ (M48 × 0.75) filters.

Good to Know Before You Order

  • Player One does not publish a weight or full backfocus figure for this drawer; contact us if you need exact spacing to plan your train.
  • Each drawer holds one filter at a time; load the size you need before your session or change on the fly by sliding drawers.

FAQ

Is it difficult to set up? No. Bolt or thread the body into your imaging train, load a filter into the matching 1.25″ or 2″ drawer, and it maintains fixed spacing.

Can it use both 1.25″ and 2″ filters? Yes, it includes a separate drawer for each size.

Which cameras does it fit? Player One lists the Ares series, Uranus PRO, and Apollo PRO.

Bottom Line
