Filter Holder , obstacle ?

[Nikolas74]

As you can see the photo below , I have rotated my camera sensor to be at 90 degrees but my problem is that, in that way I can not open the filter drawer in case I want to change filters....

The filter drawer knob should be rotated upwards but that's impossible , any ideas on how I can screw/rotate only the Filter drawer but without rotating the camera ?

What scope is that?

If you have rotation between camera and filter - you can rotate scope in rings and again rotate camera so that it is properly oriented - that way filter drawer will not point towards dovetail bar?

Thanks vlaiv , the Redcat51 has a rotator so it rotates the whole camera setup at once....now, if the camera is rotated the image that I will get will be upsidedown...which not a big deal because I can rotate it afterwards but it gives me a small difficulty when I try to frame an object the way I want it...

So in that case I must fix only the filter holder....

I was thinking to add a thin spacer / delrin ring so in that way it will stop in the position I want...

That is an option too - but rotating everything 180° does not change framing at all - it is just simple vertical flip afterwards to get exactly the same framing.
