The 1.25″ Universal Camera Adapter allows you to attach a camera body to reflector and refractor telescopes for either prime-focus or eyepiece-projection photography. This adapter is made up of two detachable parts, both of which are important for the aspiring astrophotographer:
- a prime-focus adapter (nose cone type t-adapter) for prime-focus photography
- a fixed-length extension tube for eyepiece-projection photography
A T-ring for your specific camera model (sold separately) is required to couple your camera body to the universal adapter. Most standard eyepieces (eg: the Bintel Plossl range) will slot in to the extension tube, which allows you to increase the magnification of your images, which will be relatively low-power when taken through the extension tube while it is empty.

The Bintel 1.25″ Camera Adapter is precision made of black-anodized aluminum and is compatible with 1.25″ telescope focusers and many 1.25″ telescope eyepieces (some eyepieces have housing diameters that are too large to fit inside the adapter). The barrel of the adapter is threaded for filters.
With T-Threads on each end it can be used as a spacer on some scopes.
