The LBTEK rotation mount is generally used for mounting polarizing optical components, allowing for 360° continuous rotation with a scale accuracy of 2°. The rotation position can be locked using the side screw (2.0 mm hex wrench). The RM05 features SM05 internal threads and SM1 external threads, while the RM1 has SM1 internal threads and SM1 external threads. They can mount optical components with diameters of Ø12.7mm and Ø25.4 mm respectively, with maximum mounting thicknesses of 7.2 mm or 9.4 mm. Note: The Ø39 outer diameter of the RM1 may interfere with 30 mm coaxial posts, making it unsuitable for coaxial systems.

The LBTEK Lens Rotation Mount is typically used for optical components that require rotation. This mount allows for 360° continuous rotation with a scale accuracy of 2°, and the rotation position can be locked using the knurled screw on top (2.0 mm hex wrench). The SM1LCR secures Ø25.4 mm optical components using an SM1 retaining ring, accommodating a mounting thickness of 1.6mm to 10mm. Additionally, both the front and rear of this mechanical component feature SM1 internal threads, enabling the installation of mechanical parts with SM1 external threads, such as lens tubes or cameras with adapters. Note: This mount has a fixed front and rear structure with a rotatable middle section. When using this mount, first remove the pre-installed retaining ring at the rear using an SM1 retaining ring wrench. Then, take out the included SM1 retaining ring from inside the rotatable knurled wheel, install the optical component, and secure it with the SM1 retaining ring. Finally, reinstall the rear retaining ring.
The front and rear ends of the rotation mount are equipped with lens tubes and cameras.

The LBTEK Dual Rotation Mount consists of a dual rotation base and two rotation rings, designed for mounting two Ø25.4 mm optical components. Both rotation rings feature SM1 internal threads and can accommodate optical components up to 6.4 mm thick using the included SM1R retaining rings. The rings magnetically attach to the base for easy installation and removal, allowing quick release of different optical components by replacing the inner rings. Each rotation ring has a knurled edge and a 360° dial with 2°/graduation markings—the former for rotation adjustment and the latter for repeatable positioning. Two M4 thumb screws on top allow locking the ring position using a 2 mm hex wrench. Once locked, the base's limit holes ensure stable three-point contact mounting to secure the rotation rings. The distance between the two mounted optical components is 7.6 mm. The base includes M4 threaded holes at the bottom for connecting to posts. Note: It is not recommended to use the dual rotation mount with lens tubes, as the torque applied to the optical mounting holes may overcome the magnetic adhesion.
The Dual Rotation Mount is installed onto the 30 mm coaxial system via the CPRE20 adapter.
