Customer Reviews
I use a ZWO ASI 294MC Pro camera and often switch between IR/UV Cut filters and HAOIII filters. Prior to buying this filter wheel I would manually change the filter which was a pain. This device works beautifully and adds more convenience to my astrophotography work flow. The quality of the filter wheel seems good, it was easy to insert filters, and works seamlessly with the ZWO ASIAir ecosystem. I would highly recommend,
And works just as well.
It does what it says on the tin. I paired it with a set of LRGB filters also from ZWO and the kit is great.
Switching filters goes much faster than I'd expected, so that's a nice perk.
I’m surprised at how quiet and precise the ZWO EFW mini is. Easy to set up. It has one job.. to give the the filter you want when you want it - without having to go to the telescope.
I had originally bought the mini manual. After using that for about a year a half, I figured I would upgrade to the automatic version so that I didn't accidently nudge the telescope every time I changed the filter. This did the job without issue.
