That's a pretty good Dick. I like the I like the idea of using the wood to hold the camera steady. And yes, the eye pieces are removable. I work for HoneyBaked Ham and during the holidays I work 100+ hours and get so tired I can't think straight. Now that the week is over I can get back to a regular routine and look at some more rolls and experiement with my microscope. I'll work on what you suggested later today after church. Thanks,
Rock.
PS. I think I saw a web site where someone shows how they use something and a clamp to steady the camera. I'll try to find that again. Maybe its close to what you are describing.

I have the best tool. My two hands....  After you learn to steady the camera and push the button slowly you don't need a holder for your camera. I've taken over 12,000 images with my camera and have never considered usuing any to steady the camera. Just need to focus/hold still/push the button slowly as a guide from me.

Coop, I have trouble trying to figure out what I am "going to see", when I shoot thru the scope, because I have no idea how the camera is "viewing" the scene. That is what I like about my Largan Video camera. These other types don't let you "compose" the scene.

My camera has the LCD on the back to view and you can see the image before you shoot it. I don't think I've mentioned this lately, but when using a duo-scope, you have to focus the the eyepeice you want to take the image through by closing one eye. When you use both the image will not be as sharp as when you only focus with the one barrell you take images through.

Coop, that is what I do, and if the camera was one with the LED, it would be nice. Now I have another with the LED, but it only works to platback the movies, or shots. I wist it gave a "live" view. I agree about focusing the "tube" you are hoing to use, fro that very reason. I doubt everyones eyes are "um-matched", like mine. "
Blind in one eye, and can't see out the other"!

Coop,
My camera does have the LCD. I did close one eye on the microscope. I just put the cap on it. Would that do it? I focused in on the other eyepiece concentrating on the field. Also have been playing with lighting a lot. Back, left side, right side, turning the coin different ways. BTW. I really am blind in my right eye. have been since I was an infant. Result of german measles they tell me. My left eye is about 200/20. I need the micrscope just to see the coin.
