Digi-scoping Hardware

(click on images to enlarge)
 

A 1.5" plastic pipe coupling fits nicely over the Swaro zoom objective. Four, 1/4" nylon screws grip the knurling on the 20X - 60X objective well enough to allow rotation (zoom) while camera is mounted.

The CKC Power CKC-E6 or CKC-E5 adapters fit nicely in the coupling and are cheaper than Nikon adapters.

• Swarovski  HD 80 AT  with 20X - 60X objective
• Harbortronics DigiSnap 5000 shutter release
• Plastic Pipe adapter (above) or  Scopetronix Maxview 40 objective
• Photosolve Xtend-a-View LCD viewer

Vignette free images are just possible with the CP5000 zoomed to about 18mm -21mm.
The CP5000 LCD can be rotated to a horizontal plane providing a convenient platform for the LCD viewer.
So far I have found the Swarovski 20X - 60X objective with the inexpensive plastic coupling  preferable to the Maxview objective.

• The transition from "digi-scoping" to "normal-scoping" is simple and quick.
• With the objective at 20X and the camera aligned horizontally (landscape) rotating the objective 90 degrees (portrait) brings one to about 50X zoom quickly.
• Cheap!

Another solution is:

• Swarovski 800MM camera adapter

• Cannon 10D

I have not had enough experience with this combination to comment. Time will tell.
