No more flipping eyepieces to cameras!
It was always a pain to find your target through your Telescope, then remove your eyepiece and replace it with a camera. Now I can find my target, flip the mirror and just refocus through my 35mm camera or CCD camera. It's built well and can handle the weight. A great accessory for astrophotography.

Well made Flip Mirror and Alstar has great product support
The Alstar Flip Mirror is well made and performs as advertised. The shipping container is nicely padded to protect the mirror during shipping. The container would function well as a storage container too. The Alstar Flip Mirror arrived without a few pieces, I contacted Alstar and the missing pieces were shipped the next day.

Barlow lense too long too fit
When using a barlow lense in the top the flip cover inside hits the lense. So the barlow lense can not be inserted all the way in. I used my focal ring for that and now cant use it for my camera Also, it tends to fall out of the telescope when using at a high angle

Nice accessory for telescope photography!
I consider myself a semi-expert at photography, videomaking, etc. I'm decidedly a neophyte when it comes to telescopes. I got my wife a nice telescope as a Christmas gift and we've been learning how to use it. We've also started to pick up some accessories to go with it--eyepieces, filters, etc. My wife has been wanting to take photographs with it and this is a great help for that. It's not always easy to get the focusing right on the camera *and* the telescope so this is an excellent tool. Highly recommended!

Not a precision instrument like I had hoped
It works mostly as intended and allows me to connect the camera to the telescope unit and the eyepiece. But the mirror is not precise enough so the image doesn’t end up centered. However it is consistent which means that if I learn where to off-center the image in the eyepiece I can get it centered in the camera. But I expected a little better, especially for the price.Build quality is OK. It’s like all of the other generic aluminum telescope accessories with generic white lettering that don’t quite have a professional appearance. They look somewhere between homemade and commercial.

Perfect product and price
I needed on of these and the price is perfect. This does the same job as one that is 300.00 no difference in results.
