What is Digiscoping?
Digiscoping setupNot a medical technique but a form of bird photography that involves attaching a suitable digital camera to a spotting scope to obtain extreme close-up images of the subject. The pocket-sized digital camera is often attached to the scope via a tube type adapter, this slides over the eyepiece at one end and has a thread at the other end to screw onto the camera’s lens. Locking screws can be tightened so that the who ensemble is fixed solid to the eyepiece allowing the scope + camera to be panned and tilted upon the tripod. The scope is then focused via the camera’s monitor and the shot can be taken.
