KOWA DIGIADAPTER DSLR TSN-600/660/82SV

If you also want to go digiscoping with your Kowa spotting scope in combination with your digital camera, you can read about the possibilities here. Kowa thinks digiscoping should be simple and affordable and offers various solutions for this.

TSN-PA or TSN-DA adapter

There is a big difference between a TSN-DA and TSN-PA adapter. The TSN-DA must be mounted on the eyepiece while the TSN-PA falls completely over the eyepiece and attaches to the body of the spotting scope. So the TSN-PA gives a more stable connection, but when you want to connect your camera to the camera lens' filter thread, buy a TSN-DA. The TSN-DA adapters can be found among the optional accessories.

TSN-PA8 or TSN-PA7A

 The Kowa TSN-PA8 can be used with the following spotting scopes:

• Kowa TSN-601/ TSN-66 and TSN-82SV series combined with a TE-Z9B or TE-14WD eyepiece
• Kowa TSN 550 series
• Kowa High Lander combined with 21x / 32x and 50x eyepieces

The TSN-PA8 is also compatible with many historical spotting scopes and eyepieces. If you own such a historical model, please inquire about the possibilities.

If you have 1 of the combinations below, choose the TSN-PA7A which can be found under optional accessories.

• Kowa TSN-99/ TSN-88/ TSN-880 and TSN-770 series spotting scopes combined with a Kowa TE-11WZ or TE-80XW eyepiece.

Easy installation

Installation of this Digiscoping solution is easy. Within 1 minute, the complete set-up is complete. See images for a diagram.

1. Remove the eyepiece from the scope and remove the protective ring on the body. Screw the TSN-PA8 inner ring onto this. This provides the stable connection.
2. Connect the T2 adapter to the TSN-PA8 adapter and connect it to your camera body.
3. After this, slide the whole assembly over the eyepiece and the inner ring, then secure it with the thumbscrew.
4. Some cameras require a setting to be changed in the menu because the camera does not detect a lens. More information on this can be found in the camera manual.
