Digiscoping

Equipment / Links


I use a Digiscoping setup consisting of a Leica APO 77mm spotting scope, attached to a Manfrotto #3130 video head which sits on top of a
Gitzo #G1227 MK2 Tripod. A Nikon Coolpix 995 with a scope to camera adapter from EagleEye OpticZooms rounds out the list.

The photo on the left shows my Digiscoping setup.
The Hummingbird in the center and the Peregrine Falcon on the right give you an idea of what can be accomplished with this type of setup.


My Leica Televid APO 77mm Spotting Scope was purchased at Steve Grinley's Bird Watcher's Supply & Gift - More information is available at:
