WTS: Orion SteadyPix Universal Camera Adapter #5228 [SOLD]

Post by Gary »

[SOLD]

Helping my friend to sell his mint condition Orion SteadyPix Universal Camera Adapter #5228 at SOLD.

- Also known as "SteadyPix SLR Camera Mount" on the box and as printed on the adapter. It is the same thing as the product number is the same #5228.
- Very good condition. No rusty screws. Shiny metallic mint condition. (see photo above)
- Comes with original box and packaging.
- Comes with additional large eyepiece clamp for 1.25" eyepieces with larger body.
- Inner rings of clamps are protected with felt - clamping them on eyepieces does not scratch/damage the eyepiece body.
- Comes with printed manual.
- Items wrapped in bubble wrap.
- NOT designed for clamping 2" eyepieces. Only for 1.25" eyepieces.
- Though it's labelled as "SLR" camera mount, it can be used with ANY type of camera with a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Read official manual for more info: http://www.optcorp.com/pdf/Orion/29167_03-09.pdf .
- Different camera have different distances between its mounting thread and centre of lens/sensor. On first look at this adapter, it seems that it can only be moved forward or backward, i.e. can only be used with camera with a fix mounting thread to sensor distance. This is NOT true. By adjusting the distance of the camera to eyepiece AND swiveling the camera support plate, it can align different cameras with different lens position to the eyepiece. Read page 5 in the pdf manual for more info: http://www.optcorp.com/pdf/Orion/29167_03-09.pdf .

- Currently selling for USD $29.99 before shipping at OptCorp --> http://www.optcorp.com/orion-steadypix- ... apter.html .
- With shipping to Singapore, it may cost USD $78.71, which is about SGD $98.63.

- Interested buyers can PM or email me at "gary [at] astro.sg".
- Self collect at Toa Payoh.
