Abstract

A holding device holds a camera rearward of an ocular of a glass such as a monocular or binocular to record an image utilizing the camera. The image is made available by the glass. This holding arrangement is usable with many cameras and binoculars or monoculars. A rapid change between the camera positioned forward of the ocular and a cleared ocular is made possible for the direct viewing by the user through the glass (binocular or monocular).
