Digiscoping is a photography technique where you use a specialist adapter to attach a scope – typically a spotting scope or binoculars – to your camera, in place of a more conventional super-telephoto lens. The advantage of this is that you can achieve longer focal lengths than even the longest of lenses, and it’s oftentimes more cost-effective, too.
However, digicoping isn’t particularly common, and I don’t mind admitting that I’ve never tried it for myself. That’s why I found this video (below) by South West Optics so interesting. In it, Russell and Rob talk digiscoping and, more specifically, why many photographers choose to digiscope with Micro Four Thirds cameras.
