Making flats can be cumbersome, especially if not part of an automated routine. The DAD flap panel makes making flat frames a lot easier.
While you image, the flap panel is tucked neatly alongside the refractor tube. When you finish, flip it into place and turn on the dimmable LED light.
You can adjust brightness according to your camera responsiveness/gain settings and filters.
For those operating in high humidity conditions, the DAD can also be purchased with an integral heater, to keep dew at bay.

I am very disappointed with this product. I expected it to work out of the box, but it falls far short of expectations. The motor appears weak, and its movement is not smooth. It frequently pauses during operation, as if it lacks enough power to move the panel properly.I connected the cables exactly as recommended, but nothing functions correctly. The device only works manually, and even then, the motor struggles to move the panel and stops near the end of its movement. I used the Deep Sky Dad FP1 Flat Panel Control Cable for ASIAIR, but it did not help at all.Additionally, the motorized panel appears to be made from cheap plastic material, and even the manufacturer’s logo is missing. For a product designed for remote control use, I expected a much better experience.Overall, this product is not worth the investment. !
