Beginner needing advice (1 Viewer)

This is my first post. Have bought a Nikon Coolpix 4500 to use for digiscoping through a Kowa TSN3 and was considering either the London Camera Exchange adapter or the Eagle Eye. Most people using the Coolpix camera seem to use the Eagle Eye adapter. Which would you recommend? Graham

Hello Graham, nice to have a local (to me) digiscoper, I use the4500 with LCE adaptor & it does a good job although I haven't tried any others.

Check Andy Brights' site as he has reviewed different adaptors:

Good Luck & welcome to Birdforum.

PS. You might like a mooch at my personal site www.digidylan.co.uk as it's mostly local bird pics.

Hi Graham,
I've found the L.C.E. adapter slightly quicker to attach and detach from the eyepiece (with camera already mounted onto the adapter). The L.C.E. is more compact and with the camera attached can fit into most pockets.
Having said that, the Digimount is a nicely made product... only a new insert needs to be purchased if you want to use it on another eyepiece (in most cases).
Hope that helps,
Andy Bright

Thanks for your replies. I think I will opt for the LCE adaptor.

Had a look at your site and your pictures are good. I think you are doing well.

Andy
I had already had a look at your site a few weeks ago before buying the Coolpix 4500. It is nice to see the quality that can be achieved with this camera in the right hands. I thought your picture of the Sparrowhawk, half length, was extremely good quality.

I am sure I shall be back to both of you for more advice soon.

Thanks again
