  • Camera adapter for optical equipment
    Patent number: 10969663
    Abstract: A cap assembly for use with an optical device having an eyepiece includes an attachment member defining a cavity having a first opening and a second opening that are colinear. The first opening is dimensioned such that the eyepiece is insertable into the cavity through the first opening to secure the cap assembly to the eyepiece. A camera holder is rotatably mounted with respect to the attachment member, such as via a hinge, such that the camera holder is selectively movable between a first position in which the camera holder is colinear with the first opening, second opening, and cavity, and a second position in which the camera holder is not colinear with the first opening, second opening, and cavity.
