Indigo Filter Wheel Back Focus Clarification

[Kristofer]

Hi Support,

I am considering purchase of your Indigo Filter Wheel.

However, I am having trouble planning my image train and working out the back focus due to ambiguity in your advertisement / user manual.

Language used highlights that the product is “thin” and mentions “19mm, 19.6 with adapters on both sides.”

It also shows a mechanical diagram, with 19mm, 19.6mm lines, and something protruding out another 5.3mm.

It does not show “which adapters” are used to arrive at “19.6mm”, describe the nature of the “5.3mm” in the mechanical diagram (it is not mentioned and defined anywhere else) and this has left me confused.

1) Which adapters?
2) What is the 5.3mm?
3) Can I just consider the device 19mm, assume I can attach camera via M2/3 screws on one side adding no additional length to the 19mm back focus, then find an adapter with known length and plan the remaining back focus with that?

In a separate topic / question: I understand that many of these class of products (filter wheels) require each filter seat in the carousel to be filled with a filter otherwise light leaks into the adjacent (and occupied) filter seat. Does your product have this issue? And if so do you have a filter blank that could be used to occupy the unoccupied seats?

Any clarity you can add to these subjects would be helpful and appreciated.

Thank you,

Kristofer

Ok. Just so you know I did that first; and it auto replied and asked me to come here. Might want to update the auto reply so it aligns. Cheers!
