Strain Relief for Cables

The two screws on the side of the housing can be used 
to attach additional accessories. You can, for examp-
le, connect a strain relief holder for cables by forming 
a loop out of a small plastic strip or alternatively 
purchase a finished cable holder.

Motorization

The two screws and the flat recess in the side of the 
housing are intended for the connection of a future motorization, e.g. in combination 
with the Steeldrive II motor focusing unit 

# 2957165

. It can be connected via a toothed 

belt which runs over the recess on the knob of the BFM II.

The Future

We have tried to show you examples of how the BFM II can be used. Of course, there 
are many more possibilities, which we will present in due course and in future blog 
posts on our website.
