Digiscoping? UPDATED!

Post by MuleyMadness » Thu Dec 08, 2011 9:20 pm

Alright who does it and what's your results? Lets see some video taken through the spotters.

Here is mine...(taken today).

I just recently finished making me a Home Brew Digiscoping Adapter Kit for my Spotting Scope. Never taken video through a spotter until about 3-4 weeks ago.

I think I've got a pretty sweet adapter made up, what you'll think?

Would there be any interest if I did a tutorial up sometime on how to make one? Cost me about 10 bucks.

I know the bucks small but it's the biggest I could find tonight. :))

You got the focus just right for sure. Must be a pretty good spotter as well. Looks good to me------SS

Okay here is a video I did on it, I'm going to do a written version with pics and more specific details later also.

Oh and I lost my range finder this fall, so not sure on the exact distance. But this buck clip was roughly 150 yards or so if I had to guess?

Fantastic video!!!! That is one sweet adapter you have there........can't wait for the written "how-to" since my sound no longer works on my laptop...LOL!!! Just getting into digiscoping myself in the last few weeks but I need a better adapter. Working on my camera settings/adjustments right now as well. Went out on the edge of town for some "suburban bucks" today for an hour or so and found this busted up brute just soaking up some sunshine. Shot with a Canon A490 thru a 20-60x80mm Swaro scope at around 120 yards. Image

I do need adapter help tho as my quick homemade version is shoddy in comparison to yours.

SoleSearcher,

That buck is AWESOME, great pics. You should make your own thread for him. :)

I'm about 1/2 done with the written version with detailed pics etc.
