      5.0 High Quality part

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Solid machined part with better than expected weight and thickness and large 4mm thumb screw. Overall I found this Baader eyepiece holder to be a better eyepiece holder than their Baader Helical focus eyepiece holder with compression ring and 3 thumb screws. I’m using it on the Baader T2 Zeiss prism diagonal and find it a nicer eyepiece holder overall. Quick effortless eyepiece changes are permitted with a simple non compression ring system holder and eyepiece barrel undercuts can’t get continually stuck. Good machining tolerance allows certain TeleVue EP’s to fit tight with extremely low play. This is an excellent and highly recommended quality eyepiece holder - don't be fooled by the "Budget" moniker. As a comparison, this part is stronger and better than all of those Vixen eyepiece holders on their refractors of the 80's and 90's, for example.

      3.0 Baader T thread to 1.25" holder

      Pros:

      Compact,Lightweight

      Cons:

      No Compression Ring

      Comments:

      Use this item to allow the use of a 1.25" camera with a Borg 50mm guide scope that has T threads on the end of it's focuser. Works well but only has one screw to stabilize camera or eyepiece. Should have compression ring instead.
