Free to a birder who would use it -- Swarovski spotting scope swing
digiscoping camera adaptor (Model DCB-S)

Several years ago I purchased a Swarovski brand adaptor which allows for
using a compact camera with a Swarovski spotting scope. The adaptor
attaches to the eyepiece of the scope and holds the camera to the eyepiece.
The adaptor flips up so that the scope can be used while the adaptor is
attached. The adaptor is designed for a compact camera (we have a Canon).
It does not work with a smartphone camera.

Here is a video describing the adaptor: https://youtu.be/inx7hI3whUg

We have a straight scope and this also works with an angled eyepiece scope.
I don't know that it would work with other brands of spotting scopes.

Later I bought an adaptor which allows me to attach my iPhone to the scope
and I have been using that.

I would be happy to give the Swarovski adaptor with the user guide to a
birder who would like to try digiscoping with your camera. If you are
interested please contact me off list. I would like to make sure the
adaptor goes to someone who has the proper scope and will make use of it.
