Installing Bushnell Discoverer and NatureView Spotting Scopes On a Digital or 35mm Film SLR Camera

 What You Will Need

• Bausch & Lomb Discoverer Spotting Scope (781600) or Bushnell NatureView (781645) Spotting Scope
• Bushnell Discoverer Telephoto Adapter (223030)
• Bushnell Camera Body Adapter (200003, 200004, 200005, 200007, 200010 or 200051) 
• 35mm Film Camera with interchangeable lens / SLR or Digital SRL camera
• Hex head or screwdriver

 How to Install

Turning counter-clockwise, remove the ocular dust cap from the spotting scope (781600 or 781645).

With your fingertips, grip the rubber eye guard and turning clockwise, fully extend the eyepiece.

Setting the female end of the Discoverer Telephoto Adapter (223030) on the eyepiece end of the spotting scope, turn clockwise until snug.

Following manufacture instructions, remove the camera lens from the camera body.

Align the red dot of the appropriate Camera Body Adapter to the red dot on the camera housing and turn clockwise until snug.

Attach Telephoto Adapter (that is attached to spotting scope) to Camera Body Adapter (this is attached to camera housing) by screwing in clockwise until snug.

When tightened, if the tripod-mounting plate is not on the same side as the bottom of the camera for landscape photos or side of the camera for portrait pictures, adjustments can me made.  While the camera and spotting scope are laying securely on a flat surface, using either a hex head or screwdriver (look at adapter to determine which tool needed), barely loosen the three retainer screws (see white arrow on picture above for location) and swivel the spotting scope to the desired position.  Tighten down the retainer screws.  You are now ready to use.

(Arrows show how spotting scope can be swiveled when retainer screws are loosened so that tripod-mounting plate will be in position with desired camera portrait/landscape choice.)
