Editorial Review
Alpen's compact digital camera adapter for spotting scopes is a great way to take digital photos when using your Alpen spotting scope. You just attach the adapter to your tripod and then attach your compact digital camera and spotting scope to the adapter. After adjusting the adapter to your specific compact digital camera, you can then take great photos of wildlife and objects quickly and easily. You can view through your spotting scope normally and then with the unique swing arm design quickly bring your camera into position to take photos as desired. Backed by Alpen's lifetime warranty.

I have recieved two email and a receipt with the item all of which indicate the scope not a bag. But when speaking to reps on the phone have been told I was shipped what I purchased, how can you expect a price of that? and a few other condencending remarks.
I have seen deals on these scopes before (I also purchased them) and Optics Planet is not honoring the order, saying it is a case, not the scope and telling me that it is my problem and they will send me an "RMA" if I would like. Just be leary if you see a good deal from this company as it is probally not true. I personally don't feel that falsely advertising a sale is the customers problem. Other companies honor misadvertised prices on their products that were purchased prior to the correction. But you will not find that here. Here is a kicker they have modified the ad and now they want me to leave a review on it with the new price.

Not so bad, although the price seems somewhat unreasonable

This adapter is what it looks like - no surprises. Feels pretty sturdy (and heavy) and universal. There are many degrees of freedom. One of them allows you to pull the camera away in one motion, allowing you to use the scope alone - a useful feature. Some tightening knobs are hard to find (especially the one that holds the vertical slider), so expect some effort at learning all the operating details before becoming frustrated - it can be confusing at first. Read the manual first - it contains some important advices. But be mindful of the screw which holds the pad on which the scope is mounted - it tends to slide off if not tighten properly. I tried this adapter with Meade Redtail 60x77 scope and Canon A510 camera and got some nice pictures, although I got similarly good pictures before by simply holding the camera with my hands at scope's eye piece. The adapter is useful mostly when you need long exposure photography, like at night. Note that digiscoping works best with small objective lens cameras. If you have a large and heavy SLR and you're having a hard time shooting anything through the scope, it's probably not the adapter's fault. Try a smaller camera.

works as advertised

a little complicated but will get the camera in position as desired...slight bumps to the equipment causes the camera to become slightly misaligned with the eye-piece and must be carefully monitored
