monocular as telephoto?

[John Fleet]

I wonder if anyone has any experience of connecting one of the Opticron BGA monoculars to a digicam? Judging by the price and spec they should be well made and they do come with a thread (what size?) so in theory it ought to work....

just bought one tried it with a digital compact just by holding it together seems to work ok

I have just tried it with my Sony N-1 and the lens on the sony fits perfectly into the eyepiece, holding it firm. Pictures are ok, but the BGA doesn't come with a tripod mount, so the results could suffer from shake.

same heref its perfect but holding it steady is the problem
u can get a tripod mount but £30 is a bit steep

I have one of These (http://www.dhinds.co.uk/pages/fullProd.php?id=400) and have tried to digibin with it. I guess it would work with a monocular and at less than £30 a bargain..
