Dslr Hot Shoe Laser Pointer Mounts
Hi all.
A couple of yrs back I purchased a decent quality green laser pointer to mount on my (hopefully soon to be sold) 8se to take the place of the finder scope. Never got around to doing so I pondered on the thought of using with my 70d.
I posted a thread on cloudy nights sometime ago asking if it was safe flash through the view finder to make targeting easier when selecting object for widefield AP with my iOptron skytracker? Never really got a definitive answer. As couple of ppl suggest it was fine and a great tactic for the mentioned purpose but live view MUST be deactivated to be 100% safe. Others said bad idea don't do it know of others who damaged sensors etc.
Anyone here use the method or know it to be a safe/practical method?
Cheers for reading,
Ben

Laser Pointer
I tell you what a hot shoe and cold shoe on your dslr and mirrorless camera. I got a few questions asking what a hot and cold shoe was. In this video, I brea. The StarFinder Mount is removable from it's base for storage or for use on multiple scopes, and extra universal bases are available. Works with green laser pointers less than 3/4' in diameter. (Laser pointer and telescope not included.) #SFM2 is a Starfinder Mount with base rail and dovetail block that fits Synta/Orion type finder shoes.
