Baader Mark iv zoom eyepiece problems

[Dimitre]

Hi everybody,

I just received my new Baader Mark iv zoom eyepiece and I noticed that the eyecup rotating with the zoom ring when I change the magnifications.Is this normal for this eyepiece as my Celestron zoom rotate only the magnification ring ,but not the eyecup .

I wonder if I connect it to my camera how the camera will rotate also.....or if I use winglet eye shield cup.

Any advises please.

Thanks

Dimitre

Yep, a well known issue with the BHZ.  It cannot be used with winged eye cups and binoviewers.  I prefer the Celestron Regal 8-24mm zoom for this reason and others.

Mine does the same. Not normally an issue, except once when I attached a DLSR and have to keep adjusting it.

Other than this though, it is an excellent zoom eyepiece. I keep it in my “grab and go” C5.
