How much weight will this hold? I want to put it in the front of my 8" SCT imaging train which includes: (Baader Heavy Duty Quick Connector) -> Celestron Focal reducer -> Celestron Heavy Duty OAG (w/ZWO ASI1744 mini guide camera) -> ZWO Filter Wheel -> ZWO ASI294mm monochrome camera.
Hoping that the heavy duty quick change can easily hold this but wanted to ask to be sure.
Thanks!

Heavy duty TQC/TCR T-2 Quick Changer System, a combination of parts #6A und 7
TQC = T-2 Quick Changer, TCR = T-2 Change Ring
This is a much improved product in our Astro T-2-System portfolio of telescope essentials. This changer-combo works similar to the older T-2 Changing System #2456321, but it is suitable for extremely heavy duty accessories. The difference between both systems is part-no.6 (included in #2456321) versus part-no.6A (included in #2456322). The (TQC #6A) T-Quick Changer (with Zeiss pressure block) literally equals the Zeiss-original - only it does incorporate a contemporary T-2 female thread (M42x0.75) instead of the Zeiss thread of M44. We are glad that this T-2 clamping/rotating system now is fit for the next 25 years. It will fasten almost any load with utmost security.

The Baader Astro T-2 System™
For over 30 years we have focused on the Astro T-2 thread system (M 42 x 0.75 mm); virtually every telescope manufacturer must offer this thread far ahead of the focal point of his instrument, such a universal T-ring (for DSLR cameras) can be connected. The only exceptions are (still) Russian equipment, there the thread diameter is the same, but the pitch is still 1mm per revolution - rather than 0.75mm! Therefore, we offer among other things a "Russians adapter". At only 7mm additional optical length it can allow so many Russian lenses or telescopes to be compatible with an international Astro T-2 (M 42 x 0.75mm) connector! For the sake of better recognition mostly are marked. See marking small 'a' or small 'i' in the respective indication! "a"; identifies an external thread (male); or, if Ø sign which a diameter, "i"; - a female is always (female) or - Ø character - an inner diameter. The Optical Length The optical length describes the extension of the optical path caused by an adapter or accessory when inserted into the beam path of the telescope. The values listed in the system table rounded to 1/2 mm. For pure threaded adapters...
