More about the series ClickLock...

Advantages of the 2" ClickLock star diagonal in a nutshell:

  • oversized 2" dielectric lambda/10 mirror
  • scratch-resistant, hard-coated mirror surface for safe cleaning (even in extreme conditions)
  • mirror rejects UV and IR radiation (providing highly safe solar observing in white light and with Ha sun filters)
  • maximum possible free aperture for widefield observing
  • rounded shape (no sharp corners or edges)
  • attaching heavy accessories by finger pressure alone
  • removable 2" push-in large aperture connector

Overview of the Baader 2" ClickLock system

The Baader 2" ClickLock system is a further development of the 1.25" ClickLock clamp.

The experience gained from years spent testing the 1.25" ClickLock clamp has allowed further improvements to be made to the effectiveness and robustness of the mechanics of the ClickLock system.

The 2" ClickLock system has therefore been built to be even more solid.

The features of Baader 2 "ClickLock system in a nutshell:

  • rotating the ClickLock just 20°suffices to firmly and securely fix accessories.
  • the built-in ratchet indicates the position of the clamp both acoustically and by feel. So even in the dark and without looking, you know whether the clamp is open or closed.
  • the heavy duty locking ring holds your expensive accessories absolutely securely, causing no scratches or pressure marks.
  • the extensive range available enables Baader 2" ClickLock clamps to be used on a wide range of telescopes.(ClickLock clamps for Vixen and other brands are in preparation)
  • 6 camera slotted screws / 6 Allen screws allow the position of rotation to be adjustable with a hex key -> CL clamps for left and right-handers are optionally usable!

You will never again want to attach your 2" accessories using any other system!

Customer reviews

Very high quality diagonal

Review by PabloV on 11.04.2018 12:03:03

Before I used 2 inch diagonal with SC thread. I found it a bit tricky to switch eyepieces all the time, in particular in the cold. It was also tricky and annoying to rotate the diagonal when using a German Equatorial Mount. So I heard from people that the Baader click-lock diagonal was so great and that switching eyepieces was quick and smooth. So I decided to buy it to test it. The result were impressive. This diagonal is VERY good and I really love the click-lock mechanism. Switching eyepieces is much easier now, and faster. The quality is top notch. This 2 inch diagonal is also a bit smaller than my previous one, which is a plus.

I use this diagonal with EdgeHD 800 and I also had to buy the Baader 2'' ClickLock SC clamp. This combo works great, and it is very easy to rotate the diagonal now using a German Equatorial Mount and to switch eyepieces. The only downside is the total cost. The Clicklock SC clamp is a bit expensive, and you need an adapter if you want to use 1.25 inch eyepieces, which is also expensive. So you have to pay a bit for the SC clamp, the diagonal and 2 inch to 1.25 inch adapter.

Conclusion: I highly recommend this diagonal, despite the cost. :-)
