Which finders will fit on the adapter?

You'll have a stable connection: your camera, the hot shoe adapter and the LED finder. If your finder has a Picatinny or Weaver system then it will fit on the adapter. What kind of system is that? Simply explained: originating in the firearms sector, these standardised rails are 14mm and 20mm wide. For some time they have also been used for astronomical LED finders.

• This fits your LED finder to the hot shoe of a SLR camera
• Find every object immediately; makes astrophotography quicker and easier
• No more mystery, just certainty that the camera is directed at the object
