Hi!

https://www.hasselbladdigitalforum.com/index.php/topic,6759.0.html

This is been discussed before. It's not the simplest. Read up on the topic above. Good luck!

Good afternoon all,

Just wondered if anyone has had any experience using the X2D for astrophotography - in particular connecting to a telescope.

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Paul

I've never dropped a baby or a camera, and straps get in the way. When I do need one for the extra hand it provides, I go sling-type. Blackrapid or Sun-sniper. The latter actually has a lock on the camera connector that prevents it from coming loose unintentionally. I particularly like using them to hold a long lens by the lens foot. Then I can swap out to a wide angle lens and leave the telephoto hanging for easy access.

But all of these introduce extra points of failure, and I don't trust them without a hand on the camera at all times.

You can also attach the lugs of the included strap to (almost) any commercially available strap.

Originally I had planned to use an Eddycam strap for this. I have had good experiences with the wide and long versions on my heavy Nikons.

Good morning,

Thanks for your input. I was hoping for something more like a wrist strap but interesting to go through the Berlebach site.

I like RRS plate with QD strap.

That's clever.

The term "auxilliary shutter" came to my mind, since I believe remembering that this shutter (right in front of the film mag) can be used in certain situations (microscopy?). But I found no info on this, and in any way, usability would be drastically limited.

I wonder if it might work with the electronic shutter of an CFV 50II/100c.

It works but only useful with a solid tripod an a subject that does not move during the the readout about .3 seconds.

Because I don't trust the lugs connection, I decided to use a Berlebach Speedy (with the appropriate carrying strap) that I can clamp to the Peidro Arca plate.
