Mount Adapter Pixco for Nikon 1 to T2 (T-mount) — model SB5841

Pixco mount adapter SB5841 converts Nikon 1 mount cameras to accept T2 (T-mount) lenses and accessories. The adapter establishes a secure mechanical connection between a Nikon 1 body and any T2-compatible optical device, enabling manual use of macro tubes, extension sets, telescopes and specialty lenses. The adapter is fully mechanical and does not provide electronic contacts, autofocus, or aperture transmission — manual focus and manual aperture control on the lens or attached device are required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact, lightweight solution for attaching T2 optics to Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras without modification to either component. Its metal construction ensures repeatable mounting alignment and a stable mechanical interface for close-up work, astrophotography, and optical testing. Because it is passive and contact-free, compatibility is broad with a wide range of third-party T2 accessories and threaded optical systems.

Suitable for

• Macro photography with extension tubes or bellows using T2 lenses
• Astrophotography with telescopes that use a T2 connection
• Attaching cine or industrial optics that have T-mount threads
• Optical experiments and imaging through microscopes or custom adapters

Key specifications

• Mount interface (camera side): Nikon 1 mount
• Lens interface (device side): T2 (T-mount) threaded connection
• Construction: metal body for durability and alignment stability
• Functionality: purely mechanical coupling; no electronic contacts or signal pass-through
• Operation: manual focus and manual aperture control required on attached optics
• Typical use: compatible with T2-standard accessories including adapters, extension tubes, and telescope eyepieces

How to use

Mount the adapter onto the Nikon 1 camera by aligning and turning it until it locks into the camera's bayonet. Attach the T2-threaded optical device by screwing it into the adapter's T2 female thread until secure. Verify physical fit and optical clearance before powering the camera; focus and aperture adjustments must be performed directly on the attached lens or optical instrument. For fragile optics or heavy setups, support the optical device independently to avoid stress on the camera mount.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter on a stable support such as a tripod or mount, and confirm flange focal distance suitability for the chosen T2 device. Because the adapter lacks electronic communication, enable any required manual exposure modes on the camera and use live view or focus assist tools when precise focus is needed. Avoid excessive torque when mounting to protect threads and bayonet surfaces.
