Use the Novagrade T-Mount Adapter to mount your camera directly to any spotting scope, telescope, or binocular. The adapter fits on a user-supplied camera-specific T-ring, and to work properly the ISO setting and shutter speed will need to be manually set. A polymer compression ring fits over eyepieces with outside diameters from 1.5 to 2.4" (39 to 60.75mm) and the twist-lock mechanism ensures a perfectly centered image as well as a secure, mar-free interface to the optic. This digiscoping adapter is made in the USA from a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy with a corrosion and scratch-resistant anodized finish.

Works Well, Tight Fit
I wanted to take photos through Vortex Razor spotting scope using my R5 and R6 cameras. It was quite confusing figuring out what parts I needed, so after talking to the customer support it now makes sense. Most of the time you need TWO parts: (1) adapter that connects to the scope (this product), and (2) adapter that connects to the camera (separate product, camera-specific). These two adapters connect themselves via a T-Mount, so neither scope nor camera have anything to do with the T-Mount (the source of my confusion). To compilcate it further, you have three optical elements: (1) spotting scope body, (2) eyepiece, and (3) camera lens. A setup must include the scope body, but the other two might or might not be used. In my setup, I am using a spotting scope as-is (body and eyepiece), but no camera lens - that's where the second adapter kicks in (different product, you muct purchase it separately). The second adapater provides a hollow RF to T-Mount functionality, so camera (without lens) can be rigidly attached to this adapter. Once you get the extra camera-specific adapter, you can connect the two adapters at their respective T-Mounts, keep them together and forget about the T-Mounts. It gives you a single unit that has an RF mount on one end and a compression fitting around the eyepiece on the other. After figuring out how to connect it all, the connection is very sturdy, which was my primary concern. I didn't have to use any inserts, just put the adapter around the eyepiece and turn the locking ring until it's tight. Once tight, it didn't move. The image quality will depend on the scope and what you're trying to photograph, the same issues as with any slow super-telephoto lens. The image will lose come clarity and the setup introduces additional abberations, but it works quite well in daylight if you don't pixel-peep. Final note - don't forget to change camera settings to allow shutter release without lens. The RF to T-Mount adapter (the other adapter) is just a mechanical connector and certainly doesn't get recognized as a lens. There is no aperture control either (obviously) .
Another charmer
Same as the lens adapter review---this one chosen in accord with the advise of the B&H staff and, works perfectly with my spotting scope!
