Frequently Asked Questions - Digiscope Adapter DSA2 CamLink

Is the CamLink Digiscope Adapter DSA2 compatible with all smartphones?

It fits most smartphones with a width up to 85 mm, including common models like iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. Thick cases may interfere; remove case for best fit.

How do I install the adapter on my spotting scope?

Loosen the eyepiece clamp screw, slide the adapter onto the eyepiece, then tighten the screw gently. Ensure the adapter is centered and secure.

Can I use this adapter with a digiscope kit for birdwatching?

Yes, it is designed for digiscoping with spotting scopes. It holds your phone steady for capturing images through the eyepiece.

How do I align the phone camera with the eyepiece?

After attaching the phone, slide the phone clamp horizontally and adjust the vertical position using the knob until the camera lens aligns with the eyepiece center.

Does the adapter work with a phone case?

A thin case may work, but for a secure fit and better alignment, it is recommended to remove the phone case.

How do I clean the adapter?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the plastic and rubber parts. Avoid using alcohol or harsh chemicals as they may damage the rubber.

What if the rubber pads wear out?

Replacement rubber pads can be purchased separately. The pads are replaceable to extend the adapter's life.

Is the adapter stable during use?

Yes, the spring-loaded phone clamp and adjustable eyepiece grip provide a firm hold. Ensure both are tightened properly to minimize vibration.

Can I leave the adapter attached to the scope when not in use?

You can, but to avoid accidental damage, it is advisable to remove the phone and store the adapter separately in a protective case.

What is the weight of the adapter?

The adapter weighs approximately 50 grams, so it adds minimal weight to your setup.

Introduction

This camera adapter is designed for lightweight, compact cameras only. Heavier cameras (SLR cameras, etc.) cannot be adequately supported and the camera adapter may fail. This may cause damage to the camera, eyepiece, and/or spotting scope. The combination of a spotting scope and a compact digital camera will never give the same results as a quality digital SLR camera and telephoto lens. Taking acceptable images with a digiscope adapter will take time and practice. Results may vary.

Package contents:

• 1x Digiscope adapter

Technical specifications

Eyepiece size: 28 – 60 mm Platform load: max. 2 kg (4.5lbs)

User instructions

1. Carefully mount your spotting scope to a sturdy tripod and place it on a flat surface. When using the digiscope, rigid mounting is strongly recommended to eliminate vibrations or movement in order to achieve optimal results. We DO NOT recommend using an undersized or flimsy tripod.
2. Insert an eyepiece into your spotting scope and tighten the eyepiece locking collar on your scope. Fully extend the eyecup on the eyepiece and focus the scope on your desired subject.
3. Make sure the camera adapter clamp fits the eyepiece locking collar on your spotting scope. (Camera adapter clamp assembly removed from the extension rail for demonstration purposes only.)

For smaller diameter eyepiece locking collars - clamp insert is NOT REMOVED.

For larger diameter eyepiece locking collars - clamp insert is removed. Remove the clamp insert by sliding the insert out of its channel.

1. Loosen the lock knob on the extension end of the camera adapter clamp and slide the extension rail of the camera adapter to its fullest extension.

1. Attach your camera to the camera mounting bracket. NOTE: Camera is switched on here (lens extended) and in the following photos for demonstration purposes only.

2. Before attaching the camera adapter to your scope, make sure it is aligned as follows.

1. Carefully slide the camera adapter clamp onto the eyepiece locking collar of your scope (see image).

Make sure to first align the camera mounting bracket and camera adapter clamp in the desired position before securely locking it squarely in place. Do not over-tighten the camera adapter clamp as damage to the scope's eyepiece locking collar may occur.

DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA ADAPTER CLAMP TO THE EYEPIECE.

1. Switch on your camera to allow the lens to fully extend. (NOTE: cameras with internal zoom lenses do not extend beyond the camera body.)

2. Adjust your camera on the mounting bracket (side to side) and pivot rail (up or down) to align the camera lens squarely in line with the eyepiece. (You may also adjust the pivot point of the camera mounting bracket to accommodate different camera model lengths or lens configuration.)

IMPORTANT:

Both the camera lens and eyepiece must be on the same optical axis for optimal results. Any misalignment may result in inferior image quality. This may require several adjustments and some practice in order to fine-tune your results, which may vary.

1. Carefully move the extension rail of the camera adapter forward towards the scope and align the camera lens with the eyepiece. DO NOT allow the camera lens to come into direct contact with the lens of the eyepiece. Once aligned in the desired position, lock the extension rail.
2. Look at your camera's display monitor. You may see a partially illuminated or circular field. If so, zoom your camera lens just until the entire display shows a full image.
3. Re-focus your spotting scope until the image is acceptably sharp on the camera's display monitor.
4. Use the camera's self-timer mode or infrared remote controller (for applicable models) to release the shutter. This helps to reduce or eliminate camera/scope movement.
5. The spotting scope adapter is designed to rotate away from the eyepiece for normal viewing.
