Hi,

I'm sure the answer to this qs. is here somewhere, but...

I just got hold of a P5100. I use a Nikon Ed scope, 30x eye piece.
The thing is, I want to hand hold the camera -- but I need some help.
With my old CanonA95 I used an adapter tube that slipped over the eye piece and gave me some support.

What might work with the Nikon?

Thanks

If you are using the 30x Wide DS eyepiece, then all you need is the FSB-6 adapter.

cheers,
Rick

adaptor

Thanks Rick,

I might go for that.

I was hoping there might be an attachment for the camera that would just allow me to slip it over the eye piece -- quick on and off.

I've been resisting the real adaptor thing, feeling that it would be in the way of my birding (a dangerous thing to say on this forum...).

Will, that is exactly how it works when attached to the P5100. It is held in place with a set screw though, not friction. You just have to be using a DS eyepiece.
