I have never posted a negative review but needed to for this. I purchased this item for use with a spotting scope the M2. Son opened it on Xmas, we tried to put it on to use it bit it wouldn't fit on the eyepiece. Would give zero if possible.

The Celestron Digital Camera Adapter is an excellent way to enhance your Digiscoping experience. This adapter works very well with most point and shoot cameras and small camcorders (like the one in the pictures).Now, like many things in life, there are limitations. It is mainly designed for Small Cameras (watch the demo videos online for specific sizes). However, it does work with a few other cameras and small camcorders as long as there is enough room for the lens. My Sionyx Aurora Pro barely fits. This is because the platform where the 1/4 20 thread sits is not very long or wide ( 2 7/8”, 2 3/4”). The 1/4 20 can be switched between two parallel tracks on the platform to give way to whatever side you need based on your camera. Still, the Celestron Digital Camera Adapter is sturdy and does connect very well to most spotting scopes. It can be used on telescopes. However, it is heavy and is not ideal for telescopes due to the differences in how the eyepiece is situated.So, overall it does what it says within certain size cameras/camcorders, It’s good quality, sturdy and is a cheaper way of getting those far shots you going for without having to sell everything you own for the same shots via super expensive lenses.Good luck & Clear Shies.

The adapter is solidly made and the adjusting screws work well. Once set up I can remove it and replace it on my telescope with only minot readjustment. It is quite heavy and can unbalance a smaller/lighter telescope.

Be warned, this is too small to work for DSLR or mirrorless cameras. I can already connect my camera directly to my telescope. I bought this to take magnified shots through the eyepieces. When I found it was too small to work for my mirrorless, I was going to return it, but I was really impressed with the engineering and build quality, so I decided to get a second smaller camera to work with it instead.

As for leaving a 5 star rating....that's based on how the order was handled. Shipping was very quick and price was very reasonable, the best actually..should have bought both that were offered at the time..As for the item itself..these are all built pretty much the same,Once the top strips out.. you are in trouble, so .you must always take care as to not to apply to much pressure on the eyepiece. All in all, they do last some time, my first is still usable even with it being stripped..I just use an over sized rubber band to apply pressure down on the eyepiece. I would say if you do a lot of this type of photography..you should always have 2.

Besides it looks bulky at first, this adapter did the job. It takes a bit to get use to, because the grabber and the eyepiece mouth of the telescope I use do not flat-match, but then it grabs it well. Only detail I may add is a rubberized surface where the camera sits. The thinner the camera, the easiest is to move it, even with the holding screw firmly attached. Solid good product, it felt twice to the floor with no scratch or damage at all.

L'objet, conforme aux photos lors de l'achat,montre une fabrication encore plus soignée et sérieuse que ce que je pouvais penser. Suport solide et de belle facture. Super ! Seule amélioration qui pourrait être effectuée : adjonction d'un support pour un déclencheur souple.

The only problem that I could see with this product is the manual that comes with it but no worries there is plenty of advise out there online. You could not ask for an easier way to take pictures through your scope. I have three different setups; an adapter for my Nikon DSLR, a Meade LPI and this... This is the one that I use most of the time, with my Fuji 12Mpix point and shoot. I am amazed at how great this works with my Meade 12" and all of my eyepieces. I was almost too much of a snob to give it a try but I'm glad that I did.

I bought this to use with my Meade 102mm scope and Canon A540 Powershot. It clamps to the eyepiece firmly and adjusts to fit my camera. It has a massive amount of adjustment so it should fit a wide variety of cameras. Works very well.I had to experiment to find the best mounting position and shooting method. I use a heavy Bogen video tripod which works well for this setup. A lighter tripod would not work well since there is a large amount of vibration at high magnification to deal with. Here is the method that works best for my scope and camera:1- Remove the diagonal prism and place the eyepiece directly into the eyepiece holder (straight through viewing method). Tighten setscrew firmly.2- Look through the eyepiece and focus the scope.3- Clamp the adapter to the eyepiece.4- Mount the camera then center the lens with the X and Y adjustment screws. Leave Z adjustment loose.5- Very carefully zoom the lens to full telephoto while watching the distance to the eyepiece. Adjust the Z axis so the fully zoomed camera lens is not quite touching the scope eyepiece.6- Leave the camera in auto focus mode. Turn off focus aid light.7- Adjust zoom as necessary to obtain a good picture on the camera screen. The camera needs to be zoomed in quite a bit to avoid vignetting.8- Re-focus the telescope as needed to obtain the sharpest camera view.9- Use the timed shutter release mode to avoid blurring caused by vibrations. 10 seconds works great.

My main reason for purchasing this device was to be able to do a variety of eyepiece astrophotography. I attempted to hook up one of my 2" eye pieces and a Sony Cyber Camera to this adapter and it won't work. The camera platform is too short in all vertical adjustments to bring the camera's lens dead center into the 2" eyepiece. Also I attempted to hook up my Sony camcorder and one of my 1-1/4" eye pieces and again - the platform was not deep enough on the horizontal plane to enable the camcorder's lens to see through the 1-1/4" eyepiece. The only way I can use this adapter with my digital Cyber Camera is to hook it up to a 1-1/4" eyepiece. This seems to work, but I did not buy the device to be used in only one configuration. I bought it in order to use it with various sizes of eyepieces and various types of video and camera equipment. Because of the limited use I give it three stars. Hopefully I will be able to machine some components that will enable me to use 2" eye pieces as well as my HD camcorder.
