Product works grate with my Rebel XTi cam. Good pricing but I waited for a week and half as I opted for the Free shipping. It perfectly fits my Telescope. This is durable and I recommend this to any one who required it.

UPDATED 1/8/2012

This item is very well constructed and fits perfectly in every way possible. The issue is that since it's so long, it threw off my optics to the point that I could not focus. This was only a problem when I used my telescope's traditional eyepiece port. Using my telescope's rear camera port, and with some dis-assembly of the tube and T-ring, it did end up working out. Not all telescopes have a rear port.

Telescope was Meade ETX-80.

Bushnell adapter for 1.25 Inch digiscoping:

The adapter is sturdy and has provision to insert any 1.25" eyepiece before mounting in to the T-RING. This product is nice and has adjustment facility for holding the eyepice inserted as well as adjusting the length if not getting focus

Pros:
-> U can insert any eyepiece in to it and then attach the adpter to the camera(tRING)
-> U can unscrew the bottom part and use it directly with the telescope if you dont wanna attach any eyepieces
-> The 1.25" hose is pretty fitting tight. Hence care has to be there while handling

Cons:
-> The screw in the tube makes it difficult when it comes to thread with the camera adapters. The screw will not allow you to thread this to full tight thereby allowing chances of making this to lose focus
-> YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE RUBBER SHEATH OF ANY 1.25" EYEPIECE BEFORE INSERTING IN TO THIS ADAPTER. Otherwise, the eyepieces wont fit in.

Overall, this is a nice adapter with cheaper price when compared to the native brand ones which dont have the provision to add additional eyepieces. The adapter is bit heavy and should be carefully handled avoiding any overweights to the telescope.
