Digital Camera Accessories

CrystalVue Optics Sharp Shooter
8x32mm Monocular and Digital Camera Lens

   This item operates as a standard 8x32mm monocular, but remove the rubber eyeguard and you also have a telephoto lens for your digital camera. Underneath the eyeguard you'll find a step ring that permits you to thread the monocular into either a 28mm or 37mm camera lens. This turns your digital camera lens into a powerful telephoto unit. You'll take up-close pictures of objects that you barely noticed using the camera's normal optical zoom.

CrystalVue LX 8x Monocular

   The CrystalVue LX is an 8x monocular designed for both visual and photo use. The eyepiece has a removable eyeguard that reveals a T-thread, which can be used to attach a digital camera. The center ring on the CystalVue LX can allow the entire scope to rotate so you can properly orient the camera. A retaining screw ring on the eyepiece can also be used for this purpose and for added security. Filters with a 55mm thread can be attached to the end of the monocular by an included step ring. Also included are a carrying case and tabletop tripod. Please check our Attachment Kits page for the appropriate adapter for your digital camera.

Hoodman LCD Hoods

   These handy LCD hoods serve two important functions. They will let you see a glare free images when using your camera in bright sunlight and will also shield the bright LCD screen from other astronomers at night.

Hoodman Digital Camera Rubber Hood

   The new H-DCR hood from Hoodman turns your digital camera's LCD screen into a viewfinder. The rubber hood universally mounts to all digital cameras with LCD screens of 1.5 to 1.8 inches in size. Simply strap the H-DCR hood in place over your LCD screen for optimum outdoor glare free viewing. Each hood utilizes a 2X magnifier to allow close focus on the LCD screen. The H-DCR hood from Hoodman collapses into itself for compact storage.
