Refinded Design · Anti Light-Leak Protection · Built for Astrophotography
A re-engineered internal design helps reduce light leakage, while the refined mechanics deliver smoother, more consistent rotation.
The exterior has been subtly streamlined, giving the wheel a cleaner and more cohesive look.
Nothing dramatic. Just better in the ways that matter — so your imaging workflow stays steady, reliable, and quietly improved.
The ZWO Electronic Filter Wheel (EFW) is available in four models, supporting the following filter sizes:
Ø1.25″/31 mm filters
Ø36 mm filters
Ø2″ filters
Ø50 mm square filters
Engineered for full compatibility with all ZWO filters for dependable image quality.
Power & Connectivity
Draws only 120 mA at 5 V and runs entirely from a single USB connection—no external power supply needed.
Connects to your imaging system via the built-in USB-C port using the included USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-C cable.
Software Support
Works seamlessly with ASIAIR, ASIStudio, ASCOM, and the ZWO SDK for flexible control across platforms.
Driver-Free Design
True plug-and-play design with no driver installation required.
In deep-sky imaging, even small amounts of stray light can compromise your final image.
The new ZWO EFW introduces a series of structural refinements to eliminate light leakage from all directions
★ Upgraded Sealing Structure
A re-engineered slot-fit chassis provides a tighter mechanical interface between the top and bottom covers, minimizing potential ingress points for stray light.
★ Dual Light-Blocking Protection
Newly added light-blocking pads on both lateral connection points creates an additional optical barrier, helping maintain clean, uniform frames during long integrations.
★ Fully Enclosed Motor Compartment
The motor assembly is now fully sealed, improving both light isolation and environmental resistance for more stable operation over time.
The new ZWO EFW features a refined laser-engraved finish and cleaner logo detailing, offering improved visual clarity and a more modern, professional look.
The new ZWO EFW replaces the legacy USB Type-B connector with a modern USB-C interface, providing a more robust, reliable connection and simplifying plug-and-play integration with your imaging system.
The new ZWO EFW uses a CNC-machined aluminum alloy body for a lighter, more rigid structure.
The internal filter carousel is made from 6061 aluminum alloy, reducing weight while maintaining excellent strength and stability. The result is a compact, durable design engineered for smooth, reliable operation.
The new ZWO EFW is equipped with a high-precision stepper motor, ensuring consistent rotation and stable operation across extended imaging sessions.
The new ZWO EFW features a motorized, bidirectional filter-wheel drive with precise position indexing. When paired with control software such as ASIAIR (sold separately), it enables automatic filter changes during a scheduled imaging session — enabling fully unattended, hands-free astrophotography.
