In contrast to conventional digiscoping, where the image
produced by the spotting scope eyepiece is photographed, the

via a T2 mount. This creates a high powered, yet lightweight and
compact telephoto lens, when compared to traditional telephoto
lenses.

Digiscoping Tips
Due to the unrivalled high magnifications that can be achieved in digiscoping, it can be a challenging but also a very rewarding method of telephoto
photography. Try these useful tips to help you get the best results with digiscoping.
Even the slightest movements can cause camera shake resulting in blurred images. Try setting your D-SLR to mirror lock-up - this will help reduce
vibrations when the shutter is fired.
A sturdy tripod with a good, smooth video panning head is highly recommended to keep your digiscoping setup stable.
Use your cameras self-timer or a remote control to fire the shutter of your camera, the less you handle your camera while taking the shot, the less
the risk of camera shake.
Good lighting is essential in digiscoping. That results in faster shutter speeds to help freeze the motion of your subject and minimize camera shake.
