The Nikon #6953 FSA-3 adapter allows for digiscoping with the Nikon Coolpix 880, 885, 900 Series, 4300, 4500 & 5000 digital cameras and the Fieldscope series of spotting scopes when used with the fixed magnification MC series or DS series eyepieces.  You will need to purchase some additional parts to begin digiscoping.

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).

If you're digiscoping with the fixed magnification MC Series Eyepieces, you will need three parts:
- This #6953 FSA-3 Non-SLR Digital Camera Photo Attachment
- The #6952 FSA-1 & FSA-2 Non-SLR Digital Camera Photo Adapter
- And the aforementioned proper F-series attachment for your particular Coolpix camera.

- If you're digiscoping with the Coolpix 4200, 5200, 5900 or 7900 cameras and the DS Series eyepieces, you will not need to 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 Coolpix 4600 or 5600 cameras and the DS Series eyepieces, you will not need to 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.

Purchase Appropriate Coolpix-Specific Attachment
#6917 For the Coolpix 900 Series or Coolpix 4500
#6918 For the Coolpix 885 or 4300
#6919 For the Coolpix 880
#6920 For the Coolpix 5000
Clamps Directly Upon DS Series Eyepieces
The FSA-3 clamps directly upon the DS Series eyepieces(with eyecup removed).
Fixed-Magnification MC Series Eyepieces Require #6952 FSA-1 & FSA-2
Screw a Coolpix-specific digiscoping attachment(#6917, 6918, 6919 or 6920) to the FSA-3, then adjoin the FSA-3 & the Coolpix-specific attachment with your camera's filter threads.

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 FSA-1/FSA-2/MC Eyepiece to the Fieldscope.

Finally, clamp FSA-3(with Coolpix affixed) to FSA-2 and you're ready to shoot!
