Minox Digiscoping

Today, I found a kowa-like digital scope. This one is from Minox. When I saw the photo, I was really amazed, must be a cool gadget for digiscoping. How good it is on the field? Can't say much, I can't find anyone in Malaysia that uses this piece of equipment.

I extracted the followings from letsgodigital website.
