Adapter help required (1 Viewer)

Hi all
Having done a search for info on an adapter to digiscope with a nikon coolpix4500 and an opticron classic if 75 with either a 20x or 27xwa i am still struggling to find a less bulky or hopefully cheaper idea than the opticron ucda. LCE seem to do an ideal adapter but only quote usage with a range of lenses that i do not have one of.Cost of the item is quite important(the cheaper the better) but the option of hand holding the camera to start with whilst waiting to purchase an ideal adapter is probably the best long term option. Any help and advice on this would be greatly appreciated and also apologies in advance if this question has already been answered elsewhere on the forum in the past.

Regards

Lee

Thanks Alan
That item looks good but having e-mailed LCE themselves today for advice i was told that "Unfortunately the eyepiece you have is not suitable for digiscoping it is to small" does anyone have any comment/advice on this ie would i be better getting new scope/eyepiece?

Try holding your 4500 to the current eyepiece on your scope and take some pics at various camera zooms, if it seems O.K. go for the adapter in the thread I attached in #2, it will attach to any eyepiece you upgrade to at a later date!.
