Brett- In the video you mentioned covering up the flash and red-eye reduction bulbs.
When digiscoping is it best to eliminate the flash and red-eye function? I dont know the first thing about digiscoping, but I know I tried to freehand a few photos this year and would have loved to have something like this.

The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same thing

Re: Digiscoping? UPDATED!
No need to worry about either of these when digiscoping, just make sure they are both turned OFF. I just meant I didn't epoxy my ring onto the camera so that I can use it for EVERYDAY use, thus not wanted to cover those to spots on the camera. Make sense? Best of luck, it works awesome for me so far but I'm still learning and new at it.When digiscoping is it best to eliminate the flash and red-eye function?

+1, also use the TIMER function. My camera has a 2 second delay and a 10 second delay. I get better pics with the longer delay, it allows the scope to be completely steady after I hit the button... but it's tough when the critters are moving. For stationary shots, that's what's worked best for me. If you're camera has a remote, that would be even better!MuleyMadness wrote:No need to worry about either of these when digiscoping, just make sure they are both turned OFF.
I also like to use the multi-shot burst and then pick out the best pic of the bunch.

On my camera i can set a custom delay so in 2 seconds it takes 10 shots. Great to get rapid shots with out touching your camera.

What settings are you using on your canon 300hs?
Re: Digiscoping? UPDATED!
This is the best thread I have found so far. I have that exact same camera and spotter and was hoping to do some digiscoping with it. I tried a couple of times by just free handing it and couldn't get the greatest quality. I was looking at adapters but wasn't too fond of the $100-$300 price tag they are asking for some. Looks like I need a trip to Home Depot.
Re: Digiscoping? UPDATED!
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I'm way more excited about taking pictures this winter.

I'm pretty new to this, haven't really played with the settings much...but probably will later. Just standard automatic mode so far.What settings are you using on your canon 300hs?
