The Revolution Imager R2 fits any standard 1.25″ focuser and lets you see much fainter objects than the human eye ever could. This is a powerful and complete stand alone system, with 7″ colour monitor, R2 imager, advanced multi-part 1.25″ adapter and focal reducer system, IR block filter plus (NEW) 5v – 12v converter cable and (NEW) USB Video Grabber.
Due to increasing restrictions on transporting Lithium Ion batteries we now supply a 5v to 12v converter cable, which allows you to power the imager from a standard 2A+ USB mobile ‘phone charger or power bank. Most users will already have these but a standard 12 volt power supply, such as those used for many mounts and cameras will also work.
