The delivery service from FLO was excellent as it has been every time I have placed an order with them.
I ordered this filter drawer along with a ZWO cooled OSC camera to simplify setting the back focus. It is let down in my opinion by the magnetic catches and the fiddly securing screw for holding the draw in place. I also have an Altair Astro filter draw which has a fantastic magnetic lock but doesn't have the knurled knob for removing the draw. If you could combine the best bits of both designs you would have a fiver star filter drawer.

Well made with solid look, the threads are all well machine and seems like a quality product. Filters screw on nicely and easily when spun into the draw thread. My only gripe is the magnetic system on this feels a bit weak for something that will probably be holding some expensive filters. The tiny screw that is meant to be a safety catch is not the most practical option in the field in the dark. Time will tell but all in all a good buy.

Very nice product, exactly what I needed, but the magnet does not hold very well and I have to put tape every time because the filter drawer falls out. Otherwise, as always, excellent service from FlO.

I got my filter draw very quickly from flo, was very surprised how heavy the filter draw was, it's very well made. Still have not had the chance to use it.

As always, extremely efficient service from FLO. I originally had my filter mounted inside my adjustable field flattener but removing the filter very quickly became too much of a faff as it meant having to disturb the optical train and losing the all too precious clear night sky time each time to reset back focus and camera orientation. Great piece of kit and I should have bought it two years ago!
