Got to say Ernie ... I'm very impressed with that ... Look's very strong and i like
the way the Camera swing's away from the Scope, Also would i be right in thinking
it's balanced?, ... It look's it, Very nice, My only question about it is ... If the Camera
lense was slightly to the Left or Right of the Eyepiece and did'nt line up too well ... Can you adjust it slightly Left or Right to be in line?, Also is it heavy?,
The Bird Picture i have seen before ... Very nice Bird and very colourful,
Where's all your other Bird Picture's?, ... I want to see some more Aussie Bird's from around your way, |;| |;| ,
I'd like to know how you made this ... You have any plan's ... Picture's etc?,
And Thank's for the message ... Appreciate it Ernie,
Take care m8,
John,

Ernie, wonderful development of the angled-scope bracket. Nice job.

Thanks Forcreeks, John, the weight is negligable really, the materials was scrounged from the local steel frabrication firms scrap box. I originaly planed this for the Sony f717, which turned out to be unsuitable for Digiscoping, so I got the Canon A610, the tripod socket was offset to the lens so had to make some alterations, as this one stands, no I can't adjust it for that but not difficult to make it so. Yes I can give you a bit of a plan and instructions. Fixing to the tripod, its a known fact that the quick release on most tripods is not very stable ( unless you pay a small fortune) and with the extra weight of the Scope etc. it was much worse, so I made one from 3/8 ply and clued and screw it in place, yes it is balanced. I can sent detail via email if you wish. Ernie
