The Baader ClickLock® system (1¼" / 2") in brief
The Baader ClickLock (1¼" / 2") is a very massive and perfectly fitting eyepiece clamp without clamping screws.
Inserted eyepieces, CCD cameras and similar accessories are securely held in place, locked against rotation and will not be scratched in any way!
With a small turn of 20°, each eyepiece is firmly tightened. You'll never have to fiddle with little locking screws again - instead, just rotate the top of the eyepiece clamp a few degrees and the eyepiece will be firmly attached. Not a problem with gloves either!
Our various ClickLock clamps consist of seven precision machined components that provide a highly effective retention mechanism that securely holds any 1¼" or 2" eyepiece. The clamp is very expensive to assemble, so the price may initially seem high for “nothing more than” a clamping device. But if you think about comfort, precision and stability, it's definitely worth it.
You don't need to tighten the ClickLock pliers with brute force, because the mechanical principle comes from professional mechanical engineering. This is how the tool holder works in modern CNC milling centers. Clever use of leverage multiplies torque. The inserted object is held on three sides like a quick-release chuck and can therefore no longer perform tilting movements.
