    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    You can get a release cable clamp from Jessops for about £22 and a cable for about £10. I bought one and the extra height from the clamp helped raise my camera just that little bit higher, thus removing the need for the rubber washer. Not sure if canon do an electrical one or not. Hope this...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    Well the weather was a lot better than I thought so I managed to practice a bit more, and even if I do say so myself I think I'm getting better. Just a quick question Keith, you mentioned fixing a shock bead to you cable release, how did you attach it. On my cable the the spike is always fully...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    All I did with the images was to sharpen them slightly and then crop the size. Im using a Canon A95 and an Opticron ES80 ED with a 32xWW eyepiece. Thanks for the kind words, its nice to get some positive feedback espicially when i'm just starting. |=)|

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    Well even though the weather wasn't that brilliant I managed to get a few shots down at the Restharrow Scrape. As I said before it was a bit fiddly connecting the camera and the remote shutter braket, but after that no problems. Here's a few shots, please be kind as I've only been doing this...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    Yep your right Keith I don't need the rubber washer now. Its a little fiddley to get everything together first time but after that once its set up its just a case of taking it on and off the scope. I don't like the pointy bit of the shutter release on the shutter button though so I might have...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    You shouldn't do Stuprice68, all I did was put the eyecup in the up position and positioned the camera so the lens was just inside the eyecup, that way theres no chance of hitting the scope lens and also it keeps out unwanted light. Bear in mind though that my Canon A95 fits my ES80 ED's 32xww...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    I'm going to Jessops today to see if I can use there universal shutter remote. My only concern is that it also screws into the tripod mount on the camera, the same as the adapter !. Hopefully the screw thread is removalable and theres enough thread on the adaptor to secure both. Will let you...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    Well I got my adaptor from David Hinds Ltd this morning and thought I'd share my intial thoughts. First off its contructed very well, its nearly an all metal contruction apart from the camera support and the adjustment dials which are hardened plastic. The thread mechinism's for adjusting are...

    A versatile digiscoping adapter

    AHA.... Looks like I may have found the adapter to connect my ES80ED to my Canon A95 then. And £30 is a bargin compared to some of the adapters i've been looking at. I'll just need to check the size of my 32WW HDF eyepiece as i've no idea what size it is.
