What you can Learn about Digital Video Camera Accessories
Digital video cameras continue to grow in popularity as the number of features increases and the cost decreases. There are a number of digital video camera accessories that can make these devices even more handy and useful. From small "flip" cameras to high-end professional digital video cameras, these technological wonders are becoming nearly indispensable to modern life. Digital video camera accessories can add significantly to your enjoyment of your camera.
One very popular digital camera accessory is a tripod. Whether they're made to stand on the ground, or on a table top, tripods ensure that any video captured will be steady rather than jerky, and it makes it handier to shoot longer videos, since the videographer doesn't have to hold the camera in place for long times. Tripods range in price from $10 to over $100, so you can find one in just about any price range. Check out Gorillapod tripods, too. They have bendable arms that can secure your camera to most anything.
One of the most useful digital camera accessories is an extra battery. Having a battery run down at a critical point in a video shoot can be a hassle, unless there are back-up batteries available. You'll have to buy one to fit the exact model of video camera, because they all require different batteries. By giving batteries to the video photographer in your life, you're really giving the gift of time savings. It's a great accessory to treat yourself to as well.
Extra memory cards are also extremely useful digital camera accessories. Some cameras can take more than one kind, but you should check the model number to be sure. If you, or the person you're buying for don't have a built in computer card reader, you can buy card readers that attach to the USB port. These are incredibly handy for transferring video to other people's computers, where there might or might not be a card reader built in.
For around $20 you can get a power adapter for the hugely popular Flip video cameras. These will charge up a flip camera in 2 to 3.5 hours, plus they're compact and fold up even more compactly so they'll have no trouble fitting in a pocket, purse, or camera case.
Another terrific little item is the Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System. It's a pen shaped device that can be used to clean lenses on cameras, telescopes, or binoculars. It contains a soft, retractable brush, plus a non-liquid cleaning compound on a tip made of chamois. It's perfect for getting fingerprints, dust, and debris off a lens and costs about $10.
Attachable LCD shades are great digital video camera accessories. They come in sizes to fit 2.5 and 3 inch LCD screens and can be had for under $20. They make shooting video outdoors in bright conditions much easier on the eyes by shading the LCD screen so that it shows up better.
Digital video camera accessories are more than fun little add-ons. They can genuinely make it more convenient to use a digital camcorder, and are welcomed by all digital video enthusiasts. Digital video camera accessories range in cost from under $10 to over $100, so you're certain to find something in your preferred price range. They make great gifts, even if the recipient is you!

You need this T-ring:

These are usually available in any good camera store.
And this telescope adapter:

Before you buy this, take a careful look at the visual back on your telescope. I've never seen a Celestron 4SE up close, but all of Orion's Maksutov-Cassegrains come with standard T-threads already on the visual back. With these, all you need to do is screw on a T-adapter, and you're in business.

Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars with Tripod Adapter
List Price: |
DescriptionBinoculars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes these days, and an even wider range of prices. It's easy to spend less than $100 or more than $500 for what may appear to be, at least outwardly, comparable models. While they may look the same, they are probably quite different on the inside. Recently, the binocular market has seen a flood of giant binoculars at prices that were unheard of just a few years ago. In general, giant binoculars are defined as those that magnify the view 10 times or more and have 70-mm or larger front (objective) lenses. It used to be that the least expensive giant binoculars cost in excess of $150, even $200. All that changed not long ago, when the bottom fell out of the price cellar. Now, several companies import giant binoculars that sell for half that, or less. Celestron's 15x70 SkyMaster binoculars are one of the leaders in the low-price giant binocular arena. They certainly sound good on paper. The SkyMasters include multicoated optics and BaK-4 internal prisms, two features that promise brighter, better images, and key points to look for when judging a pair of binoculars. They also come with an adapter for attaching them to a photo tripod, which is a must to use them to their fullest, and a soft carrying case. But just because they are cheap doesn't always mean they are worth the price. Would it be better to save up for a more expensive pair? To find the answer, I had an opportunity recently to judge the SkyMasters against a pair of Fujinon 16x70 FMT-SX binoculars , one of the finest pairs of giant binoculars sold today. Like the SkyMasters, the Fujinons feature BaK-4 prisms, but also have fully multicoated optics. As a general rule, superior coatings mean superior image sharpness and contrast. But then, that should be expected, given that the Fujinons cost many times more than the Celestrons. While the Fujinons were clearly the better performer, the Celestron SkyMasters held up admirably. Image brightness, quality, and contrast were all remarkable considering their bargain price. Although images were a little soft across the outer 25% of the Celestron's field, the overall view was impressive nonetheless. Some inexpensive binoculars have very sloppy focusing, causing the eyepieces to tilt and shift. Not so with the SkyMasters. I found that their center-focusing mechanism worked smoothly, with no apparently backlash or wobble. Eye relief (the distance you hold your eyes away from the eyepieces to see the full field) is stated to be 18 mm, a good distance for higher power binoculars and an important consideration if you must wear glasses when viewing. The SkyMasters are also light enough to support by hand for short periods of time, although buyers would be well advised to mount them on a sturdy photo tripod. The bottom line is, if you are considering a pair of giant binoculars, whether for bird watching, stargazing, or another recreational use, and have a limited budget, Celestron's giant 15x70 SkyMasters represent an excellent value. --Phil Harrington, author of Star Ware and Star Watch Pros: Exceptional value for the price Light enough to support by hand BaK-4 prisms Multicoated optics Cons: Outer 25% of the field is soft and a little blurry Requires a tripod to use for extended periods Celestron and ;s SkyMaster Series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use - especially over long distances. Each SkyMaster model features high quality BAK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. The 15x70 version is one of the most popular models in the series. It offers serious large aperture light gathering in an affordable and reasonably lightweight configuration. Features
