I used it in conjunction with my Zeiss 85, 20 - 60 Zoom eyepiece and Sony N1 camera, the improvements from the last model are very noticeable. The hinge for the swing out bracket does not score itself on the upright shaft, Terry has played a blinder by making a special metal unit that will not tighten up on the upright shaftbut within itself, the swing out locking mechanism is also new and much more stable, its a new idea IMHO, and is much improved on what was a very good Universal adapter.I was also surprised on how light it was and seemd to be very solid and well made, and it will fit most cameras he saidTerry told me that they were looking to make a new / or strengthen the platform somehow, to accommodate a DSLR on it, now that would make it the worlds first universal swing out P & S and DSLR Digiscoping adapter all in one!Its good to know that we have a company out there interested in Digiscopers and their opinions, its British, and they will make you anything you want, great bunch of people in the office, friendly and full of advice, you even get a cuppa when you call round, i cant fault them, top blokes!
