New Digidapter™ digiscoping adapter for Zeiss Diascopes (1 Viewer)

jourdaj

Well-known member
I had the opportunity to field test a new digiscoping adapter designed for Zeiss Diascopes using the Vario D 15-56X/20-75X Zoom Eyepiece. The unit is called the Digidapter™ and it consist of an inner ring sleeve that slides over the eyepiece and is held in place by the screw-on eyecup. The Digidapter™ is a bracket that consists of an adjustable platform to perfectly align most P&S cameras and some mirrorless models (including the Nikon V1 w/ 10-30mm and 18.5 mm lenses).

Instructions and description of the adapter can be found at:

I've written a comprehensive review of the adapter on my digiscoping blog:

I even took it out into the field this morning for the first time and had great success digiscoping local sparrows in SE Michigan, USA. Here are a couple of Lincoln's Sparrows and White-crowned Sparrows, including one image I took at a whopping 6075mm equivalent focal length (hand-held!) using the adapter.
