Best thing I've bought all year

I purchased one of these and have been using it for a few weeks and it works a treat.

My DSLR doesn't have a flip-out screen, so you just attach this to the base of the camera, and the front surface mirror becomes a flip-out screen. No more crawling on the ground!

I have no association with these guys, just very happy with the thing.

Sans a real one, this is a great idea. Simple and elegant. Easy to heat too I'd imagine.

Not a bad idea, but isn't everything up side down. ???, not that that really matters i suppose.

Everything is reversed, but it doesn't matter for astro use, and it saves my knees!

Very simple, neat idea but what happens if you can't read backwards?

Actually with my scope, it means the adjustments end up the right-way round as far as moving it goes, so it actually makes *more* sense

Great idea!

I'm interested. Also in their "Telescope Solar Finder".

I wonder if we could have a bulk order from Sydney that could save overall on postage?

I'm glad to get good feed back on this. I'd been looking at alternatives for the 550D.
Kinda moot now though with the new camera.
