Sneak Preview - Leica's new Digiscoping adapter!


(click on image for larger version)

Here is a sneak preview of Leica’s digiscoping adapter, designed specifically for Televid series spotting scopes. No ETA yet from Leica on when the adapter will become available for purchase, but I’ll keep you posted here.

The sleeve setscrew (middle) holds the expanding sleeves in place. This is loosened and adjusted with the camera mounted to get the proper distance between the camera lens and eyepiece lens (for camera zooming, too). The other two screws (left) drive the individual "jaws" of the clamp together, which hold the camera in place.

Pretty nifty, huh?

Hi there,
Does this adapter allow the new leica d lux 3 to zoom fully inside the housing?

I have a Leica APO Televid 77 and a Fujifilm finePix E900 and also a Fujifilm finepix A310 digital camera. Will the Leica adapter work with either camera? Right now I hand hold the camera to the B20x-60x eyepiece but experience lots of vignetting.

Thank you.

Robert,

Either should mount, but an adapter will not remove vignetting.
