Any recommendation for the subject adapter? Would prefer not using a universal type adapter. I'm wanting to get the RX100 but am concerned about adapter for the Vortex Razor HD scope. May opt for the Nikon 1 V1 as a result. Any input would be appreciated.

I've used 2 methods. Two 1 1/2" to 2" plumbing fittings with the threaded side cut off then epoxied together, or use one of the fitttings and epoxy the 58mm adapter ring from the Vortex digiscoping kit to it. To cut the threads off I used a 2" hole saw just barely bigger than the threads. Then use the soft side of velcro to support the lens ring. Pic below.

Thank you for your unique adapter. I can see how this would work but was hoping not to have to modify the camera. I presume there are no third party adapters available that can be used with this camera.

There is no modification to the camera needed, If you click on the link above then scroll thru the album there are more pics and a short video that shows how the camera attaches to the adapter.

Sorry, I had missed that you attached a slideshow. I will give it a try once I get the RX100.
