Title: Filter wheel
Post by: gmillerok1 on February 07, 2017, 07:32:17 pm: I have an order for a new Atik 16200. Are there any plans for a seven position 2" filter wheel?

I selected the Atik 16200 because of what appears to be a superior design and quality of the product, but to be honest, the lack of a seven position wheel nearly pulled me to one of the other 16200's available, all of which already have seven or eight position wheels designed to go along with it. So I can not emphasis enough the importance, and the priority, the addition of a seven position wheel should be to stay competitive in this market.

Hi Steve, it has been about 5 months since this post and was just wondering if there was any updates on the 7 or 8 position 2" wheel coming out soon? Thanks so much.

We are now actively working on this filterwheel. I am attaching a picture of the 3D plastic printed mock up. An announcement on our website should not be long off.

Thank you, Steve. Will this be a 7 position filter wheel for 2" mounted filters or for 50mm unmounted filters? Thanks!
