Message: <blockquote data-quote="rogerscoth" data-source="post: 1135711" data-attributes="member: 1029">I used one with a Canon A95 Camera attached to a Swarovski ATS80HD 'scope until I sold the outfit to another Birdforum member in 2006.See :- <a href="http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=59101" target="_blank">http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=59101</a>I found it was quite useful, with a large and bright image that I found easy to sight subjects, but the person I sold it to could not manage to use it easily. I bought the Red-Dot Sight from J S Ramsbottom and it is still available, as shown here :-<a href="http://www.jsramsbottom.com/cgi-bin/jsr.cgi/dynamiclink?a=1&b=0&z=0&aP=0&source=/RED/Reddot_all.HTM" target="_blank">http://www.jsramsbottom.com/cgi-bin/jsr.cgi/dynamiclink?a=1&b=0&z=0&aP=0&source=/RED/Reddot_all.HTM</a>You will need a suitable bracket to fit it to your scope - I had my Camera Adaptor machined for me, then made the sight-fixing arm to suit the required position. Roger ps With the benefit of hindsight, I often wished I still had my 'scope, because there are some super Cameras available now that are very good for digiscoping. I am also very happy with my Canon 350D with a Sigma 50-500 Zoom.</blockquote>
