    FSA-1 & FSA-2 Fieldscope Digiscoping Adapter for MC Series Eyepieces

    Mfr# 6952 | B&H# NIFSDCAFSAL1

    The Nikon #6952 FSA-1 & 2 combination allows for digiscoping with many of the Nikon Coolpix digital cameras when used with a Fieldscope and the fixed magnification MC Series eyepieces.  You will need to purchase some additional parts to begin digiscoping.  This system is not compatible with any zoom Fieldscope eyepiece or with non-zoom Fieldscope eyepieces which do not have a helicoid-type sliding eyecup.

    If you're digiscoping with the MC Series Eyepieces, you will need three parts:
    - This #6952 FSA-1 & FSA-2 Non-SLR Digital Camera Photo Adapter
    - The #6953 FSA-3 Non-SLR Digital Camera Photo Attachment
    - And the proper F-series attachment for your particular Coolpix camera.  These include the #6920 F-CP5000(for the Coolpix 5000), the #6919 F-CP880(for the Coolpix 880), the #6918 F-CP885(for the Coolpix 885 & 4300) and the #6917 F/S-CP9XX(for the Coolpix 4500 and 900 series).

    The DS Series of eyepieces, however, have exceptionally low risk of vignetting with digiscoping and a flat field.  They are highly recommended for the best results.  If you're digiscoping with the DS Series eyepieces, you will not need to purchase this combination adapter.

    - If you're digiscoping with the DS Series eyepieces and a Coolpix 880, 885, 900 Series, 4300, 4500 or 5000, do not purchase this item.  Instead, purchase the #6953 FSA-3 Non-SLR Digital Camera Photo Attachment and the proper aforementioned F-series photo attachment.

    - If you're digiscoping with the DS Series eyepieces and a Coolpix 4200, 5200, 5900 or 7900 camera, do not purchase this item.  Only purchase the #6955 FSB-1 Non-SLR Digital Photo Adapter, which clamps directly upon the DS series eyepiece(with eyecup removed).

    - If you're digiscoping with the DS Series eyepieces and a Coolpix 4600 or 5600 camera, do not purchase this item.  Only purchase the #6956 FSB-2 Non-SLR Digital Photo Adapter, which clamps directly upon the DS series eyepiece(with eyecup removed).

    Be sure to take precautions against sharpness-destroying vibrations:  use a sturdy tripod with a video-type pan/tilt head as well as your camera's remote control or wired cable release.

    Note! Does NOT work with zoom eyepieces.

    • MC Series Eyepieces Held Firmly In Check
    The fixed magnification MC series eyepieces fit within the 'sandwich' of the FSA-1 & FSA-2-with the FSA-1 side towards the portion of the eyepiece which screws into the Fieldscope.  Unscrew the FSA-1 & FSA-2, place the eyecup-side of the MC series eyepiece towards the inside of the FSA-2, screw the FSA-1 onto the bottom of the FSA-2 and attach the entire assembly to the Fieldscope.
    • FSB-Series Brackets Clamp to Exterior of FSA-2
    The FSA-2 fits directly into the scope-side of the FSB-1, FSB-2 & FSB-3 brackets for use with Coolpix 4200, 4600, 5200, 5600, 5900, 7900, P1 & P2 cameras(purchase appropriate FSB-series bracket for camera).
    • FSA-3 Attachment Allows Use of Coolpix 880/885/900-Series/4300/4500/5000
    The FSA-3 clamps on to the outside of the FSA-2, and screw a Coolpix-specific digiscoping attachment(#6917, 6918, 6919 or 6920) to the opposite end(towards observer) of the FSA-3 to affix the entire assembly to Coolpix 880, 885, 900 Series, 4300, 4500 or 5000 digital cameras.  Adjoin FSA-3 & Coolpix-specific attachment before clamping on to FSA-2.

    The DS Series of eyepieces have exceptionally low risk of vignetting and are highly recommended for the best results.

    - If you're digiscoping with the DS Series eyepieces and the Coolpix 880, 885, 900 series, 4300, 4500 or 5000 cameras, you will need to purchase this and the proper F-series attachment ring.  These include the #6920 F-CP5000(for the Coolpix 5000), the #6919 F-CP880(for the Coolpix 880), the #6918 F-CP885(for the Coolpix 885 & 4300) and the #6917 F/S-CP9XX(for the Coolpix 4500 and 900 series).

    - The #6952 FSA-1 & FSA-2 Non-SLR Digital Camera Photo Adapter
    - And the aforementioned proper F-series attachment for your particular Coolpix camera.
