It was too much work to make a great shot.

The setting just doesn't work on my Nikon D3300. From focusing to using the camera in manual mode, it was too much work to get a great shot.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Only available in white

As described. - Accessories

Works, found this one worked better than the other one I bought. However, the telescope I use it on, the ETX-60, is limited. It sucks bad. They don't have much travel, and the scope is best used as a spotting scope.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Works the same as photo adapter

is perfect for mounting my Canon T3 to my Meade etx-80. The only downside is that the camera is turned upside down and it's difficult to adjust the settings, but that's the nature of shooting through the scope. It holds it tight and is made of heavy metal so it has withstood repeated use and tossing in a telescoping bag.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Reliability

Nice but needs a set screw to hold it while shooting

Bought this rear cell adapter for my small telescope. It fits the scope well, but the lack of a set screw makes it impossible to securely mount the camera in any position except when it reaches the end of the thread, which can be sideways, vertical, or in between. Never where you want to block it.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Will not work with any of my existing cameras

I bought this adapter to give my Meade ETX 60 telescope new life and purpose. The adapter itself connects easily to the telescope. But none of my cameras fit on the adapter (I have two Canons, Leica and Samsung). There is no link to any other required adapter or connector (adapter to adapter if possible) so I don't know what the story is. I followed the instructions in my telescope manual. The only thing I can think of is that either many components are not mentioned or this adapter only works…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition is here
