FAQ

What makes the Starlight Xpress SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel unique?

The Starlight Xpress SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel is unique because it can operate without a separate power supply when used with USB control. It features a high-performance DC gear motor that runs entirely from the USB supply.

Can the SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel operate from a serial input or a switched hand controller?

Yes, the SXUFW-2T Filter Wheel is versatile and can operate from a serial input or a switched hand controller, both of which power the wheel from a small dry battery.

How does the easy-change system work on the SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel?

The easy-change system of the SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel features thumbscrews that allow for quick and tool-free filter disk swaps. The adapters can be swapped by using a small screwdriver to release three stainless screws and lifting off the adapter flange.

Does the Starlight Xpress SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel produce a lot of noise during operation?

No, the SXUFW-2T Filter Wheel is quiet during operation, making it ideal for photography sessions where silence is preferred.

What is the benefit of the Hall-Effect 3-bit encoded positioning in the SXUFW-2T USB Filter Wheel?

The Hall-Effect 3-bit encoded positioning provides absolute filter locations, not serially sequential. This means you can easily swap between any filters without accidentally losing the wheel position, ensuring a seamless and efficient photography experience.

David D : can the sxufu-2T filter wheel accept 2" threaded filters?Stephen G : That's my expectation. I haven't actually used the filter wheel yet as I am waiting for filters, 2" screw-in. Looking at the carousel, there are threads in each filter bay, so it should be fine. Look up the carousel separately for whatever number of filters you require; it probably will confirm this.Paul P : Yes, the wheel will accept 2" threaded filters. It will not accept 1.25" filters without an adapter. Be careful with the filter thickness since the wheel uses magnetic sensors to detect position and may have trouble finding its location if they are not completely screwed into the plate.
