My "new" get up and go baby

[beamish]

Bought this on Sunday and it arrived today, I have to say in immaculate nick and well wrapped. Thanks David if you're out there !

What a little beaut !! So compact and so well engineered for a small scope, can't wait to take it out. Thought I'd share it with you, ( like you've never seen one before ) . Anyway it's gonna let me see stuff when away, everyone else has their buckets and spades and beach balls etc, so I now have this and a couple of kites, I'm happy.

Anyone know if you can hook up a DSLR using something other than 1 1/4 adapter with this baby ?? ie a way of using a 2" adapter

This the ZS66? Nice grab and go you got there eh!

[Beyond_Vision]

Best thing to buy is a Williams optics Focal Reducer and a T-ring for your specific DSLR. This screws onto the SCT thread on the back of the scope then screws on to a T-ring which then has a bayonet fitting that matches your DSLR.

Alternatively you could get a T-ring for your DSLR and T-ring Adapter 2" nose piece and a SCT thread to 2" accessory adapter

Oooh those li'l babies really do pump out Bought 2nd hand and had the new cones fitted by a great guy in Wembley(I think) All for £60-£70. The stands were made by a mate, "Torchy"

Cheers Kevin ,that's what I needed to know the 2nd item is all I'll need, got the rest. Still, I'll give Steve a quick bell.The "El Cheapo" camera tripod is actually far better than I gave it credit at first, sits very well and steady.

Looks like rain then................................

It's a HAMA " Star 63" bought off Amazon mid £20's I think. Used to have a cracking Slik but no idea where that is now .
