Baader Planetarium 2″ ClickLock Clamp to M56i – for Takahashi

The Baader 2″ ClickLock M56i Clamp is a premium 2″ accessory holder designed for Takahashi focusers with an M56 (M55.9) x 0.75 thread. It provides a fast, secure and convenient way to attach 2″ eyepieces, diagonals and other accessories while taking advantage of Baader’s renowned ClickLock clamping system.

Baader’s ClickLock mechanism makes changing accessories quick and effortless. A small 20° rotation of the large, knurled locking lever is all that is required to securely clamp or release a 2″ accessory. This eliminates the need to repeatedly tighten a conventional thumbscrew and makes accessory changes particularly convenient during nighttime observing.

The integrated ratchet mechanism provides both audible and tactile feedback as the clamp is operated. You can therefore hear and feel the position of the mechanism, making it possible to determine whether the clamp is open or securely closed without having to look at it in the dark. This is especially useful when changing eyepieces or accessories while observing at night.

A major advantage of the ClickLock system is its thick-walled hard-bronze compression ring. Rather than gripping an accessory at a single point with a conventional retaining screw, the compression ring applies secure, evenly distributed pressure around the accessory barrel. This helps prevent scratches, dents and pressure marks on valuable eyepieces and other optical equipment.

The hard-bronze compression ring is designed to retain its shape even after many years of use, providing reliable and consistent clamping performance over the long term. This makes the ClickLock particularly well suited to observers who frequently change between different 2″ accessories.

Whether you are using a 2″ eyepiece, star diagonal, filter accessory or another compatible 2″ component, the Baader ClickLock provides a simple and reliable way to secure your equipment. Its combination of fast operation, positive locking action and gentle handling of expensive optical accessories makes it a practical upgrade for compatible Takahashi telescope setups.

With the Baader 2″ ClickLock M56i, accessory changes become a simple one-handed operation. The robust construction and intuitive ClickLock mechanism allow you to spend less time adjusting your equipment and more time observing.
