Digiscopie : les adaptateurs universels Novagrade pour reflex et smartphones

Digiscoping is a way of taking photos with a digital camera by coupling it with an optical telescope. If there are several universal adapters for coupling a wide range of digital compact to spotting-scopes, this is not the case for DSLR cameras: the systems are generally suited for specific scopes or cameras, and most of them are too large, difficult to handle or expensive. On the other hand, smartphones, which are playing an increasingly important role in our lives, are now all equiped with cameras whith a high resolution, and it seems logical to use them to photography wildlife through the spotting-scopes (= phonescoping). But as for the DSLR , adapters are generally only valid for some models.
Novagrade, and American company, has recently launched on the market small, easy to use and really universal adapters for DSLR and smartphones: three models are available so far (for Canon EOS, D-series Nikon and smartphones), but two other models will ne proposed in the future: an adapter compatible with all DLSR cameras (with « T » rings) and another for Micro 4/3 (MFT) cameras.
