FLI Filterwheels

FLI CFW5-7: 7 single Wheel positions for 50mm square filters

Rugged Design

Unmatched Precision

Flexible Performance

Our color filter wheel’s robust mechanical design provides the basis for stunning, uncompromising images. Each FLI color filter wheel is precision engineered with a highly accurate no-slip drive chain and stepper motor. The large diameter pivot pin and bushings are precision ground and matched for smooth, quiet no-fuss operation night after night. FLI color filter wheels do not use internal lights for homing, so your images are protected from stray light interference.
