Night Owl NOCA-42 Camera Adapter
Lets clarify the mistery
When I attempted to research this product, I could not find any information concerning the adapter measurements, even from the manufacture's website. The only information that I could find was that this adapter could hook up to a 35mm camera using a t-ring adapter. Well I have a Sony mini-DV camcorder and a Sony Cybershot digital camera as well as a Night Owl night vision monocular. The connections are pretty simple, first you need to purchase step rings to fit this adapter to your camera or camcorder. The misterious, well kept secret, size of the step ring needed to attach to this adapter is a female thread 42mm step ring. The step-ring will screw on to the male end of this adapter. From there you can step down or step up to fit the lens on your camera. The other end of this adapter screws into the removable eye piece on the night vision monocular. To adapt from this adapter to my Sony Mini-DV camcorder I had to step down using a 1- 42mm (Female thread) to 37mm (Male thread)stepring, and 1- 37mm (female thread) to 25mm (Male thread) to adapt to the 25mm lens (female thread) on my camcorder. I used a total of 2 steprings to fit this adapter to my camcorder. I hope this has helped someone because I spent countless hours trying to find the information that I just described. There is none on the internet anywhere! Thanks and enjoy.
