Swarovski Snapshot adapter

I haven't had a chance to use the Swarovski Snapshot adapter which allows you to attach a small digital point and shoot camera to a Swarovski binocular to do some impromptu digiscoping, but I like the idea. I have done some digiscoping with a binocular over the years by holding a digital point and shoot camera over the eyepiece of a binocular. Does this work? Yes, I've managed some great pics when digiscoping with a binocular, but it does take some patience and practice. Biggest issue, as with all high magnification photography is stability - pretty tough to steady things enough for a sharp pic, even at a binocular magnification of 8x, but it's also something of a challenge in terms of coordination when you are trying to hold both a camera and binocular at the same time. That's the idea behind the Swarovski Snapshot adapter. It's a real a headache saver. Thank-you Swarovski.
