Hi,
First post here. New digiscoping set-up: Decades of photography experience.
Kowa TSN-884, 25-60x zoom, DA-10, Panasonic 20mm F1.7 pancake, G9.
The weight of the G9 camera on the pancake lens is regularly locking up the camera.
I would have gone with the '883 had I known. It might have been kinder on the lens.
I rarely manage 6 shots before the G9 shutter will no longer depress. Switch the G9 off and on again and it manages another 6 shots.
No problems at all when the pancake lens is no longer supporting the camera by its filter thread.
Ideally I'd just get a 35cm long plate to support the camera properly. But none are available in the '500 Manfrotto head profile.
Is this a common problem when digiscoping with the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 pancake and straight through 'scopes?
If so, how do I fix it?
Thanks :t:
