This one will not void the warranty, like my Ziess Conquest mod
This is an easy DIY project that will save you some money, money that can be used for more relevant gear at that. I recently got the 65mm Vortex Viper and immediately started brainstorming on how to mount my camera to it for digiscoping. This is a quick tutorial on what I came up with using the materials I already had in the garage.
My camera is a lower end Cannon powershot A2400 IS that I got from Costco for about $120. It has a female ¼-20 thread on the bottom of it for mounting it to a tripod. I’m not sure if all cameras have this or not, but that feature is one of the things that makes this project work.
The 65mm Vortex Viper has an eyepiece that has an approximate diameter such that a 1 ½” ABS pipe coupling fits snuggly over it. This is another feature that makes this project work.
If you have the same or similar equipment that meets the above criteria then you may be in luck. Here is a picture of the finished product, you can most likely build it just by looking at the picture. There is some flexibility on what hardware and materials you can use, it just depends on the resources you available to you.
