It comes with an adapter for camera lenses which I hope will make it easier to attach to a focuser, although the tubular body is only about 0.5 Millimetre less than an eyepiece. If it works out, it could be a cheap entry cam for beginners at around $75 on Ebay.
I'll post results after its been tested.

Been using the V5 for a while, but forget about the adaptor, wont work. Instead I have set up a Mogg Adaptor with some good results.
