Review of the AFW-L 7x2inch

I bought this FW in combination with the Touptek SkyEye62AM. Shipping to Sweden was without any issues, just as stated by Touptek. After only 4 days the package was delivered to my home.
The AFW is working as expected, with a very easy, but fully adjustable ASCOM interface. Powered over USB, I only need a short cable from the camera hub to the FW, very practical and clean setup. Still, there is one serious issue, and it is for people (such as myself) that plan to use this FW with Baader filters (and potentially others?). The 2 inch mounted Baader filters are too big for the current filter wheel construction. As the wheel tries to rotate the filters collide with the holder of the photo sensor (I think thats what it is) and blocks the wheel from rotation. I did manage to do some smaller mechanical adjustments of the blocking holder, and after that the Baader filters can be used in the FW, but doing these adjustments most probably ruins the warranty. So, if you plan to use filters other that Toupteks own, be ready for some DIY work.

It does what a filterwheel should, very nice quality, well machined and well priced.

I would give 5 stars except for ...

the screws that retain the faceplate are machine tightened too much, trying to remove them by. by hand using the screwdriver provided only ruins the heads...

Clearance issues

I installed some LRGB filters, and it works fine with those, but when I went to add Baader SHO Fill l filters, they aren't able to clear the moving mechanism and cause the wheel to jam. Really disappointed and wish there was a warning about this.
