Orion 05224 T-ring for Canon EOS Camera (Black)

As was said before, connects a Nikon to a telescope adapter.Mine fit snugly and there was no slop. Even though it says "Made in China", unit seems machined fairly well and fit perfectly with the Orion Variable Camera Adapter. The three flanges that hold the camera body are pretty thin, it seems stable, but if you have a heavy $5000 Nikon body dangling off the side of the telescope, I would be nervous. With my set-up, I have the camera mounted almost vertically over the telescope, so it still feels stable.I have a Nikon D5100 with the T-Ring connected to an Orion Variable Universal Camera Adapter mounted to an Orion Starblast 4.5.Please Note: You NEED a camera adapter in conjunction with this T-Ring and my combination will not allow the focal plane of the camera close enough to the telescope to focus. I had already ordered a Barlow lens, so if this works with the Barlow, I'll update this review.

Just what I was looking for to connect my Nikon D3300 with my Orion Spaceprobe St 130 Telescope. Its very easy to use, just installed like if you were connecting a regular camera lens. what I didn't like about this was the lack of description on whether I needed another part to connect with this product. Which you if you don't already have you need a adapter along with this part if you are connecting it to a telescope. In my case I got an Orion Variable universal camera adapter that was needed along with this part. Overall very happy with the product, and the construction is very sturdy and stable.

Another open box "deal" mine came missing the set screws. I drilled/tapped it the next size larger and got some hex socket stainless set screws from ace. It didn't cross my mind until I took my first astrophoto that I should have gotten some long knurled thumb screws. If you want to turn the camera to frame your object then you have to have your tiny allen key and goof in the dark. There is a lip that will prevent dropping you camera unless you back off a couple of screws too far.On the plus side there's really nothing blocking light from your scope if you can use this style directly on the focuser.

Works great. Can take pictures through telescope lens.

Perfect fit for a Nikon D5100 on a Dobsonian 8" telescope. No light leakage and sturdy enough to support the camera body. Works exactly as advertised and excellent value for the price.

Perfect fit, and helps a lot for taking photos with your canon on a telescope. Highly recommended. Remember to buy de universal adapter so that you can put eyepieces inside at take even better photos of the moon and planets.

This is a poorly fitting t ring. Both my brother and I bought one for our cameras. He replaced his quickly with the celestron t ring for 1/2 the price. I struggled with mine fir month till I was fed up. Bought a celrstron t ring and I'm kicking myself for trying to image with this piece of junk for so long. Do yourself a favor. Get the celestron t ring for half the price.

So far, the T-ring has worked exactly as advertised. Apparently, the shop that I bought mine from uses some sort of teleporter for delivery because I received the product in no time. The only downside was that I needed to buy another adapter piece. The threads just don't match up with those on the back of my C8. Not that it really matters, because I was planning on doing both eyepiece projection and prime focus photography anyway. I bought the Orion 1.25" adapter and the next night I was getting really cool photos of M17 and M8.

Great

Hi,Der ring selbst ist sehr gut verarbeitet und die griffigen ausparungen sind praktisch(guter gripp)Achtung: passt nicht auf eine canon m50! (Etwas zu groß )Die Verpackung war riesig im Vergleich zum Teil selber. Hat mich dazu gezwungen es bei tnt abzuholen, da wir nicht "zusammen" gefunden haben zeitlich.Naja selbst schuld denk ich mal, jetzt hol ich mir halt ein Ring der ausgewiesen zu der m50 passt.

Fits my EOS DSLR (Rebel T2 and 70D) perfectly.
