If your just trying to mount a simple "small" point and shoot camera to a spotting scope/telescope, then this is the product for you. I have used a few cameras on this adapter in the last few days. The Nikon Coolpix L20 ran out of useable mount(couldn't zoom as far as I wanted to reduce vignetting) and the Kodak Z1485IS is in the same catagory. Don't even think about using a camera such as the Sony SX10IS, it will not even come close! The mount itself has some 'play' in it that can be taken care of with some extra grip when tightening the thumb screws. I don't want to over tighten, as I think it would break. The mount attaches directly to the eyepiece and does not swing away for easy viewing throught the eyepiece. If you need fast eyepiece views and camera positioning, this mount will not do that.

I used this adaptor on a two different spotting scopes, a telescope and a binocular with a digital Cannon Powershot A530. With trial & error I obtained adequate d-pictures at distance. A strong stable tripod is recommended. Remember to turn off the automatic power saving on the camera.

Pros:  Gives fine control connected to microscope, telescope, binoculars, etc
Cons:  Doesn't work well with larger digital cameras, such as a Nikon 5700. Apparently, needs and adaptor not described in the item description.
Would recommend:  yes

I have used this adaptor in biology classes on microscopes where I got some fantastic shots and videos of protozoans and multicellular organisms. Also, have used it on telescopes to attempt to get planet pictures (the problem is with the telescope, not the adaptor!). But, with a larger-lensed camera, you need an adaptor to move the camera farther from the scope. Besides that, it is great!
