The Digidapter By Dannys Digiscoping (Danny Porter)
I purchased a Digidapter for my Swarovski X series scope. I planned to use my Panasonic GX1 & 20mm pancake on the adapter. It arrived with me in the U.K after around 2 weeks, most of which was a customs delay!
As a digiscoper that spends a lot of time promoting, teaching and advice giving, the Digidapter interested me because it looked like a good quality, third party adapter that would hopefully be a solution for those that don't want to spalsh out on brand adapters.
The adapter was very well machined, and fitted the scope perfectly. the mounting platform was solid also and attached to the eyepiece section with ease. I was even lucky enough to have the new style "locator pins" in my parcel!
My main concern with all platform style adapters is the re-alignment of my camera after I have taken it off the mounting platform to change batteries or memory cards. Its a real annoyance havin to spend ages re-aligning. I can happily report that this is not an issue with Digidapter! The locating pins and the mounting screw thread make sure that the camera goes back on in exactly the same place. Brilliant... and ingenious.
I recommend anyone to try the Digidapter if you are serious about digiscoping.
Well done Paul on a great product Click on the link for more info! http://digiscopeadapter.com/home.html

hello danny amd others, I see my favoured camera , a Canon G15 falls into the 'not on your nellie' category in Swarovski's list of recommended cameras published elsewhere on this site. Would, in your opinion, the US sourced 'Digidaptor' be a solution to whatever causes Mr S. to take such a dim view of Mr Canon's fine .IMHO, G15? Thanks for you thoughts.

Site Owner Posts: 372 | Hi there, I haven't much experience with these cameras for scoping, but for some reason I think they just don't work for scoping. Probably a vignetting issue. It wouldn't matter what adapter you tried, the vignetting would still be the same I fear. If u have a scope then try holding the camera to the eyepiece of the scope and see how much (if any) vignetting there is. Sorry I can't be clearer here. Regards, Danny. | |
