Home Accessories SkyWatcher Accessories OVL Twistlock Adaptor 1.25" / 2.00"
The Twist Lock Adaptor is an innovative 2"-1.25" low-profile helical self-centering eyepiece adaptor, of metal construction, threaded to accept standard 2" filters. Just twist the upper knurled locking ring and your 1.25" eyepiece, camera nosepiece, or laser collimator is centered precisely in your 2" focuser, and securely gripped by a polypropylene compression ring, which will not scratch or mark your equipment.
Standard 1.25" adaptors use a thumbscrew which pushes the inserted accessory to one side when tightened. Not so with this clever adaptor. And wait, theres more....Unscrew the knurled locking ring to expose a male T-thread on the lower black barrel, which conveniently functions as a 2" prime focus (2" to T thread) adaptor by itself. So youre actually getting two adaptors for the price of one!Doubles as a precision 2" T adaptor with male T thread for camera T rings (see below)
Simple but effective Low cost, does what is needed to centre a 1.25" laser in a 2" tube. Service was quick (25/06/2023) DevonRob -
Great It was recommended I get something like this as a "quality of life" upgrade and it really is - took the frustration out of swapping eye pieces in a rush and has made collimation easier for me (22/05/2023) James - South east
useful device easy to insert laser collimator or eye pieces and ensure they are aligned nicely. (26/01/2022) -

OVL Twist Lock Adaptor This adapter is a step up from a standard 2" to 1.25" adaptor. It doesn't mark the eyepieces and if you use a reticle eyepiece for alignment it will hold it secure and straight even if you take it out and back in. It's not as heavy duty as the Baader version but it is a lot cheaper. (15/03/2021) Derek Baxter - London
Hidden benefits As well as perfectly centering 1.25" eyepieces and being threaded for 2" filters because of it's low profile I was able to focus my DSLR in my Newtonian which I couldn't with the standard nose pieces . Great product at a great price. (28/11/2020) Ronald Havelock - Nottinghamshire
