Learn how the Vortex MK 1 digital camera adapter makes it easy to digiscope with a point-and-shoot digital camera and a spotting scope

Build your own birdwatching digiscoping adapter. Very simple, very light, veeery easy to use. All you need is a strong plastic 1,5 litre soda bottle, tape, a hose clamp and some rubber. It´s cheap and works just as good as the expensive ones that you can buy. See my profile for birding-videos that are made with this kind of adapter. Digiscoping technique: The camera lens should be as centered as possible in the adapter. How much you must zoom in to get past the black frame might depend on your camera, and also how close the camera lens must be to the eyepiece. You must try this out for your self. If your camera has a custom "C"-mode you can save the zoom-level (and other settings) and your camera will remember this. Next time you start your camera in the C-mode it will zoom automatically to the right digiscoping-position. I have set my camera to take 2 pictures each time I press the button and using self-timer with 2 seconds delay. If your camera has a remote control that is another good thing to get sharp images. Save these settings in the C-mode together with the zoom-level to get a quick start in the field. Digiscoping takes a lot of practice, but you will make some awesam pictures! Good luck!
