What sets this eyepiece extractor apart from its competitors is its unwavering commitment to material selection. The focuser mechanism is meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel, while a diamond layer is applied to the friction surface. This combination creates an incredibly precise micro-gear system, which, when paired with a thoughtfully designed bearing system, ensures seamless adjustments and perfect alignment even under a load of up to 6 kg.
