2047Studio has introduced a new dual-speed focuser with a built-in Camera Angle Adjuster (CAA), specifically designed for Takahashi telescopes, including the E-130D, E-160ED, and 180ED models. This focuser is part of 2047Studio’s patented design products, created with an emphasis on precision machining and stability to enhance the astrophotography experience.

Dual Speed Focuser built-in CAA for Takahashi E-130D, E-160ED, and 180ED

The dual-speed functionality of this focuser allows for meticulous focusing, which is essential for capturing clear and detailed astrophotographs. Designed to meet the specific needs of Takahashi telescope users, this focuser ensures compatibility and optimized performance across the supported models.

A key feature of this focuser is the integrated Camera Angle Adjuster (CAA). This mechanism enables precise rotation of the camera, supported by precision bearings, and includes a locking device to secure the position. This feature is particularly useful for astrophotographers who need to adjust the framing of their shots with accuracy while maintaining the overall stability of their setup.


The Dual Speed Focuser is available in different versions

The focuser is available in different versions tailored for the Takahashi E-130D, E-160ED, and 180ED models. It’s important to note that the 180ED version does not include the CAA due to size constraints, reflecting 2047Studio’s attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the structural integrity of the telescope.

For users of the E-130D, there is an option to choose between a black or blue base when ordering, ensuring that the correct version of the focuser is provided. The base color affects the attachment mechanism, making this choice essential for proper installation and use.

Pricing for the dual-speed focuser is set at $799 for the E-130D and E-160ED versions, while the 180ED version is priced at $699. Regardless of the model, the focuser is shipped from China with a freight fee of $60 via FedEx. 2047Studio offers flexibility in payment methods, with options to pay through PayPal, Alipay, or purchase through eBay.

This dual-speed focuser with a built-in CAA represents a significant enhancement for astrophotographers using Takahashi telescopes. Its design prioritizes precision, stability, and user convenience, making it a valuable addition to any serious enthusiast’s or professional’s toolkit. With the ability to fine-tune focus and adjust the camera angle effortlessly, this focuser provides a tailored solution for improving astrophotography results. The availability of different versions, along with the option to choose the appropriate base color for the E-130D, ensures that customers receive a product that meets their specific needs. 2047Studio’s commitment to quality and precision in this focuser design underscores its utility and effectiveness for the intended audience.
