Are you able to attach this scope to a camera. I Know there are adapters you would need but just want to know if it is possible before I buy. Thanks

I don't know - it was a couple of years ago that I look at this and I decided that cheaping out on a scope just didn't make sense,so I returned the scope.

i think so, have no experience, i would buy the Leopold the white one instead, much better scope and you can change the eyepiece and replace it with a camera adaptor.

not sure,you might need adapter for camera.but it is a heavy duty tripod works great for my very heavy[nose heavy] spotting scope.hope this helps

Yes it can you will just need to get the proper scope rings to go with it. You may also want to consider the Nikon scopes, they are a little more cost but imo the optics are amazing...

I was able to fit in my smaller eyepieces in the adapter. There is a knurled screw that will hold the eyepiece in place. I've also found that it isn't designed to be used as a primary focus adapter unless you have a low profile focuser. Has anyone been able to find any larger eyepieces that will fit in the adapter?

I think with the right mount, a scope can be attached. I've purchased a red dot sight on Amazon ($15?) that I find amazing. I think it uses a "dovetail" mount. It and a scope restrict access to the chamber where you'd insert a pellet to a small degree, but since I use BBs mostly, I don't find it a problem. If you are doing most of your shooting at targets under fifty or sixty feet, I'd highly recommend the red dot instead of a scope.

With an adapter that is available thru Amazon and others, most any tripod that will accept a camera. You can't attach these without the adapter. It is an L shaped piece of metal that attaches to the front of the binoculars and then to the tripod. Hope this helps.

More strength? If you could explain I might be able to answer. This is a standard adapter for your camera-specific T-ring. You need both to mount/use a camera with a telescope (unless you get real lucky shooting through an eyepiece) - I've used them with heavy film cameras with no problem - on a decent telescope. If the 'scope is lightweight it's probably not good for astrophotography anyway. But the "strength" issue is unclear - are you planning on some other kind of use?

This scope mounts on a picattiny rail. You may need to add a rail to the top of the receiver.

Adapter: Yes. This is something I also want to use and need farther investigation. Mounting: It has the same threaded hole (1/4-20) as regular camera. I use a quick disconnect adapter which comes with tripod. It works fine. In general, after using scope at shooting range I found that it's compact and light. The image qulity is much on par with less expensive models. Do not expect much becouse of Leupold name! That is why I have returned $500 Leupold rifle scope due to its image quality was not anough better than $150 scope to justify its price. Leupold name is not in my book.

I'm pretty sure that this scope did NOT come with any rings. That's probably because some types of rings work with some applications, whereas others don't. Personally, I needed a rather special set of rings to fit my application (a European rifle). For that reason, in my experience, scope makers rarely include rings or mounts -- mostly because they're items that are specific to a person's particular project. Hope this helps.

In order to use this scope on a firearm, you must mount it to a Picatinny rail. As far as I know, you can't mount this onto such a small automatic pistol.

Hello, how are you? I did some research on your question. So far I found this web site where you can get an adapter you can use to attach your camera to your telescope. If you buy one please let me know if it works or not. My email address is snban4@aol.com thanks and take care Sue Banks

It's not a necessity. I run mine with the mounts it came with. It is definitely usable out of the box. I've seen a lot of people run scopes higher though.

You need a DSLR adatper to fit Canon DSLR on to the scope. The model number for the adapter is CA-CAN-SLR.

Hi Peter, Minox does not have any camera adapters for their spotting scopes. Only three brands of spotting scopes have adapters that allow for using the spotting scope as a scope and then quickly taking photos through it. They are Kowa, Swarovski, and Vortex. Some other brands of scope have direct scope-to-camera adapters, but most people find using a camera as an eyepiece to be unsatisfying. Also, scopes with 50mm objective lenses are hardly ever used for digiscoping because their small aperture makes for long exposure times resulting in blurred images unless the ISO is set very high. Most digiscopers use scopes with 80mm or larger objectives. Steve Sosensky Optics4Birding

Yes, the optics on the scope are excellent. I think the main thing youwould be concerned with is having the right mounting for the scope.

Good question. In my opinion the optics are certainly up to the task. The problem is that the scope is small and is prone to being bumped or moved inadvertently when being used to sight in a rifle at longer ranges. I have used mine up to 100 yards and it can be a bit frustrating to use as any disturbance of the scope pulls it off the target. I prefer to use a larger scope on a camera tripod for longer range work. This scope is excellent for small bore rifle and pistol shooting up to 50 yards. Beyond that it just isn't steady enough in my view.
