Our NEW swingout bracket is specifically designed to fit each individual eyepiece. Once set up the camera is swung out of the way until the moment you wish to record an image. The camera is then swung into the pre-set position and the picture taken. Its as simple as that. A dedicated shutter release bracket is available as an accessory to help reduce camera/scope shake while taking that all important picture.
How it works ...
The SWING OUT SYSTEM fits over the scope eyepiece. It is fully adjustable vertically and horizontally so that the camera lens can be centrally aligned to the eyepiece lens. The camera is mounted to the platform via its tripod socket. If the camera has an extending lens mount, set up should be made with the lens fully extended so that when the power is off, and the lens retracted, there is a gap between the camera lens and the eyepiece. The vertical bar has a cam plate which is adjusted to set the 'engaged' position, and which limits the travel when the camera is swung away.
The bracket can easily be removed and replaced by undoing the nylon fixing screws The adjusting bars feature quick locks for ease of set up and fine adjustment. All that is required is to set the camera centrally and parallel to the top of the eyepiece.
The product is quick to set up and adjust, lightweight and very rigid. A quality product with a quality finish.
