Please Note:
This listing is for one adapter as shown in the first photo only. The other photos are illustrative and no other items are included other than the item listed in the title.
Baader 2" ClickLock Clamp for Astro-Physics and TEC Refractors
This Baader ClickLock clamp fits
Astro-Physics and TEC refractors. Owners of TEC and other refractors with the Feather Touch 4" focuser can also take advantage of the superior clamping of the Baader Clicklock Eyepiece Holder. Will not slip or sag under any load. Note: Requires the use of the Feather Touch AP2.7" threaded back (available from Feather Touch or Telescope Engineering Company). Physical length is 31mm, and the clamp consumes just 20mm of back-focus when focuser is fully retracted.
Overview of Baader Clicklock Eyepiece Clamps
Available in 1.25” and 2” configurations, precision-made and rock-solid Baader ClickLock clamps secure your eyepieces, cameras, and observing accessories without the need for clamping screws. With a small 20° turn of the locking lever, your 1.25” or 2” component is securely held in place, locked against rotation, and will not be scratched or marred in any way. ClickLock clamps are easy to use, even when wearing gloves!
Baader ClickLock clamps are made of seven precision-machined components which provide a highly effective retention mechanism that securely holds any 1¼" or 2" eyepiece or accessory. The clamp is complex to assemble, so the price may appear high for "nothing more” than a clamping device. But if you think about the comfort, precision, stability, and ease of use, these clamps are well worth the investment.
ClickLock clamps are based on mechanical engineering principles similar to those used to design tool holders in modern CNC milling machines. The clever use of leverage multiplies torque in the holder, so you don’t need to pull hard on the locking lever to fully secure your eyepiece or accessory: it’s held on three sides similar to a quick-action chuck and remains secure and aligned.
The Baader 2" ClickLock Clamp System
Baader has tested the effectiveness and stability of the 1.25” ClickLock mechanism for many years. The 2" Baader ClickLock system is designed to be even more mechanically solid to hold larger eyepieces and accessories. The features and functions of this clamping system include:
Secure and firm hold on each 2” component with a 20° turn with light pressure of the rotary lever
Ratchet function to indicate the position of the clamp acoustically and haptically so you can tell in the dark, without looking, if the clamp is open or closed.
Massive tension ring to keep even the most expensive accessories absolutely safe, without causing scratches or marring
The position of the rotary lever is adjustable for left-hand / right-hand use either by six slotted screws or by six Allen screws (depending on the model)
The heaviest load tested to date is a complete C14 optical tube with an SCL-clamp and a 2" ClickLock star diagonal with a Scopos 30mm extreme eyepiece. The entire C14 optical tube was lifted at the eyepiece (this was a test set-up and it is
not recommended
you try this yourself).
The extensive range of ClickLock clamps makes it possible to retrofit many telescope models with the Baader 2" ClickLock clamp
With the 2" ClickLock clamp, you can also convert, for example, your 2" Maxbright mirror diagonal (or the 2" universal prism) to the ClickLock system simply by unscrewing the old 2" clamp and screwing on the new 2" ClickLock clamp.
Note:
Occasionally, the product you receive might have a slightly different cosmetic appearance or labeling than what is shown. This can often change from batch to batch according to the whims of the manufacturer. However, you will always receive a brand new, original product as described above.

3. US SHIPPING

4. INTERNATIONAL ORDERING / SHIPPING
Shipping Cost:
Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above and select your country to see your shipping choices and cost. If you need a shipping cost estimate for multiple items, please contact us.
Delivery Time:
1) USPS First Class International:
Delivery takes about 3-4 weeks after we ship your package.
This can frequently take 4-6 weeks or more for several countries (8 weeks for Italy, Argentina, and South Africa; 8-12 weeks for Brazil)
.
THERE IS NO TRACKING FOR FIRST CLASS SHIPMENTS. The information shown in your eBay account is just a customs form number - it is NOT a tracking number as incorrectly indicated by eBay.
Once your package ships, we can do nothing but wait until your package arrives. Please do not become impatient and contact us in 2-3 weeks if your package has not arrived. If you don't receive the package in 6 weeks, contact us and we will work with you to resolve the issue. If you don't want to take the risk of this delay, then DO NOT USE First Class mail - use Priority or Express shipping instead.
(2) USPS Priority Mail International:
Delivery takes 1 - 2 weeks after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for Priority shipping.
(3) USPS Express Mail International:
Delivery usually takes 5-10 business days after we ship your package. You will receive a tracking number with which you can track your shipment from USPS.com. Note: If you use this option, you must send us your phone number when you check-out or else your shipment will be delayed. This is required for international postal forms.
Again, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so do not leave us negative feedback or file a Paypal claim if your package is delayed. Delays are quite common but losses are very rare, so your patience/cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
Customs and Duties:
You are responsible for any duties and taxes that may be levied in your country. These are not included in the item price or shipping cost. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be or if they will be levied upon delivery. Customs policies vary widely from country to country (Some countries such as UK are strict about imposing hefty customs duties). It is your responsibility to check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the delivery company or your country's postal service, or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are NOT additional shipping charges.

A minimum restocking fee of 10% will be deducted if there is any evidence of use or wear, dirt, scratches, missing packaging/parts, etc. We may levy a larger restocking fee if the condition warrants it, or even refuse returns entirely if returned in heavily used/abused condition. Shipping fees are non-refundable (for items with free or discounted fixed shipping, the actual outbound S&H cost we incurred will be deducted) and you are responsible for all return shipping costs. Please contact us first before returning an item.
International Orders:
No returns/exchanges accepted unless the item we shipped is defective. Please research the product and ask us any questions BEFORE you purchase to make sure you are buying the correct item for your needs.
