        Excellent Product, mounts easily on the top of the scope. Let the camera track right along with the scope.

        Overall poor design

        Pros

        • Easy to Install
        • Fairly lightweight
        • Strong Construction

        Cons

        • Adapter too short
        • Poor Fit

        Best Uses

        • Astronomy

        Comments about Meade Piggyback Bracket:

        The 1/4 - 20 adapter is much too short to adequately attach my digital rebel. To make it fit, I had to install the Orion 2-axis tripod mount on the short adapter, and *then* attach the DSLR. Considering this adapter is an inexpensive part, this is a gross oversight by Meade.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Meade Piggyback Bracket:

            I bought this for my 12-inch LX90. Very easy to install and light weight. Works perfectly but the release knob is a little hard to get at when you want to remove the camera. Worth the money!

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
