AO Heads

#1 Post by bphuber » Sun Dec 27, 2020 3:23 am

What AO heads are compatible with the Microstar series? I need to get a Mono or Trinocular head for a Microstar IV. I'm conducting some classes by Zoom and need a photo head and all I have is a binocular head. I have a feeling that not all heads are compatible.

THANKS!

I have never seen a monocular head for the 400 series. They made a 100/0- 0/100 trinocular and a 100/0-0/100-80/20 trinocular. Another option would be to use a teaching bridge to another binocular and connect the camera to one of the eyepiece tubes. There would be quite a bit of light loss but probably could work.

There was also a dedicated c-mount video tube that fits onto a teaching bridge.
