SV226 Telescope Filter Drawer, Photographic Filters Drawer with M42-M48 Adapter, Double Magnetic Filter Holder for 1.25" and 2" Filter Mounted, for Deep Sky Photography

I have 3 different makes of filter drawers. One ZWO which if not careful you can order the wrong drawers. Player One which was OK but after a short while the filters drawers would fall out. So in the trash it went. Now I have the SVbony and it is by far the best of the 3 makes. It has tiny magnets that work to hold the draw in place. It is very well made and the drawers go in and out easy. It comes with two extra dawers and a 1 1/4 each adapter for smaller filters too. The price is at least half or better than half what the other two makes cost also. If your looking for a filter drawer that is made well works well and is half the price than any other make. The SVBony is your choice.

Works as advertised. Simple installation, gave 55mm distance required for my flattener when combined with my OAG system. Nice packaging, very solid, compatible with my existing 2 and 1.25 inch filters.

Filter wheels? Those are so 2010. Whoever thought up the idea of a filter drawer needs to be promoted, immediately. In all seriousness, this item obviously functions a bit differently than a wheel. If you're a serious imager who is using an indoor setup, then obviously an electronic filter wheel is the better choice. But for the rest of us, a filter drawer like this one is simpler to use. Screwing onto the front of your camera, the drawer allows you to easily swap out any filters you own without having to change out anything on your imaging train. It accommodates both 2" and 1.25" sizes. It is virtually identical to the ZWO filter drawer in both size (21mm) as well as the standard threading on both sides (M42 & M48). You may need a M48 to 1.25" adapter. This thing is heavy duty and looks great, like a piece of cast iron... and that's the problem. The SVBONY filter drawer weighs 8oz more than the ZWO filter drawer, a full half-pound. If you already have, say, an ADC or a Barlow or other equipment attached to your scope, this adds a not-insignificant amount of weight. But here there is also a nice trade-off in your favor: the price. The SVBONY filter drawer comes in $30 cheaper than the ZWO filter drawer, so for astrophotographers on a budget this is the way to go if your mount can handle it. Virtually all items related to astronomy and astrophotography depend on your particular setup, budget, and goals. If this product is right for you I can enthusiastically recommend it for the quality, functionality, and the price.

It does what it’s made to do. Very good build quality and strong magnets hold the filter draw in place. Very easy to install. I just put it in place of one of my spacers that was the same size. No light leaks. Great for the price

Half the price and double the quality of the better known brands, plus an extra slider with an included 1.25 adapter. Far out!

The SVBONY SV226 filter drawer has been a fantastic upgrade to my astrophotography setup. Installation was straightforward thanks to the included M42–M48 adapter, and everything threaded together cleanly with no alignment issues. The drawer slides smoothly, and the dual magnetic design keeps the filter holder locked in place with zero flex or play. What I love most is how convenient filter changes are now. Being able to preload holders and swap filters mid-session without disturbing my focus or framing has saved me so much time. Both 1.25" and 2" mounted filters fit perfectly, and I haven’t noticed any vignetting or light leaks in long exposures. For the price, the machining and build quality are excellent. This drawer has made deep sky shooting much more efficient and enjoyable, and it’s absolutely worth adding to any imaging setup. Highly recommend.

I originally wrote a review that wasn't so glowing. My concerns were that the 2" filters are harder to screw in without touching the surface compared to the competitive ZWO product, and that I had a couple of the magnets fall out. While that may be true, the other benefits of this SVBONY drawer outweigh any drawbacks. SVBONY promptly replaced the item that lost the magnets. Their customer service has been nothing short of outstanding. Also, I have found that the magnets in the ZWO product are quite weak compared to the SVBONY product, and I'm concerned that filters will fall out, so I will be using this instead. That can't happen with the SVBONY drawer. The magnets are extremely strong (maybe why they can fall out... actually they don't "fall out" but are pulled out by the attracting magnet on the other piece. If there is any one thing that can be improved with this product, it is to better secure the magnets. Even if one of the magnets falls out, the other side is likely to be secure enough, perhaps more secure than the competitor product. I now have five of these filter drawers and they are every bit worth the money.

While I've never used their telescopes, I have many Svbony accessories and they are all well built. I don't know if this was an extra that some how made it into the box, but mine came with 2 drawers. I didn't know that so I ordered an extra. Works out so now I've got extras. Perfect fit and only the slightest of light leak. I don't notice it in any lights or calibration frames other than the dark flats. And even then it's mild and that was in direct sunlight. (I know). This is cheaper than a used ZWO and this has a better fit latch than their first series. Not sure about the updated version of the Z but these parts are clean. Threads were perfect. Not a single flaw. Even shipped in a cut foam cube in a plastic box for storage. I am really impressed with everything I've used that was Svbony.

Excelente producto, calidad superior, bonito diseño y color, llegó super rápido, gracias!!!!!

Nice product, adapter M42 included. Wanted to use it on SpaceCat 51 telescope with DSLR and TRing Nikon, but with this set up we cannot focus the Space Cat 51.

This filter drawer is an affordable option that's definitely worth trying. It's well constructed with metal, and all threads are of good quality and tighten securely. It's incredibly easy to use. While I haven't yet tested it under dark skies, I anticipate no issues.

Product made for a different telescope than mine so I will have to resize connecting threads (lathe) which is exactly as I expected (see user name). NO complaints. Solid construction. Once fitted to my equipment it will do a great job. Delivered 2 weeks *before* earliest estimated date!!
