Digiscoping with the Canon G10

I'm about to buy a digiscoping outfit. I plan to buy the Swarovski ATM 80 HD.

I was wondering if anybody knows whether the Canon G10, which I have, works with the Swarovski UCA adaptor, or the DCB?

I particularly need to have the ability to switch quickly between observation and digiscoping. Does anybody know which of the two adaptors is better in this respect?

Thanks for any help.

Many thanks indeed, Robbin.

You're right, the Swarovski adaptor is not cheap. I hadn't realised there were other alternatives, so thanks for those. I'll check them out.

From YouTube, it seems that the UCA involves a single smooth movement to take the camera out of the way, whereas the DCB involves the removal of the camera from the set-up, albeit fairly easily. I guess that's why weight is an issue with the UCA.

Guess I may have to go to the Swarovski showroom to see the two set ups and handle them for myself.

Dick,

I'm impressed by your hand held shots. What shutter speed and ISO were you at?
