Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Orion SteadyPix Universal Camera Mount
Customer Review: Fiddly but workable
Summary: 3 Stars
I've taken countless photos of the Moon through my EQ-mounted reflector using this device. It's much more convenient than trying to hand-hold the camera up to the eyepiece, but after extensive use I've found it leaves much to be desired. It's difficult to get the camera aligned properly with the eyepiece, and minor misalignments will cause visible aberration, fringing, and/or vignetting in photos. What's more, it's very easy to knock out of alignment once it's been aligned. With patience, though, this mount will make photographing the Moon simpler and also enable you to take pictures of fainter objects like planets, Earthshine, and the brighter star clusters. It will also fit just about any shape and size of camera, and is cheaper than the camera-specific adapters I've seen elsewhere (but to me still seems pricey for what you get).Customer Review: Fair

I have a couple of other styles made by other companies and I prefer them.
