Architectural models photography – Periscope lens converter ??

OT: Architectural models – Periscope lens converter

Hi Folks,

Maybe you could help me.
I am looking for some kind of periscope converter for my camera (I shoot Nikon if it is important) which will allow me to take the photographs from above a physical model and mimic eye level view from the small scale architectural model.

I have now idea how this device is called – but I remember this thing from the “old” days for Zenit camera…

If anyone know how it is called and where in UK I could buy that please drop me a line.


---edit

I've found something similar for videos camera, but nothing for the photo camera...

Borescope is the engineering name for the equivalent of an endoscope (typically used in medical surgery). Just a word to add to your searches...good luck.

Doesn't have prices though, so could be quite expensive.
