What holds the filter firm once it’s inserted , springs or does it just sit in a cradle
My L Extreme is a 2”
If in the future I ever go Mono , I could still use the filter drawer I suppose , not ideal but doable
Thanks

Hi Martin,
It has two mechanisms to hold it in. First is a pair of magnets that hold the draw into the holder. The second is a spring loaded grub screw that kind of locks it in once it’s in. Personally I’ve tightened the grub a bit more because the magnets seem a little weak. I certainly wouldn’t trust them alone. It’s a good system and saves the extra weight of a filter wheel. I’m with you that if I go mono then it will do initially whilst building up a filter collection. They’re not expensive either.
Cheers
Ryan
