Snowflake low profile filter wheel 8 x 50 mm WandererAstro
The Snowflake SFW50S is a professional 8-position filter wheel designed exclusively for Ø50 mm (1.9-3.5 mm thick) unmounted filters. With an ultra-thin 14 mm housing and fully enclosed, it is the ideal choice for astrophotography setups with strict back-focusing restrictions.
*Important: This model does not support mounted 2" filters - only unmounted Ø50 mm filters in all 8 positions.
