Scope and tripod The biggest problem facing anybody is what items do i buy presuming you have a scope and tripod ? This can be prove very expensive and even more so if the items bought do not actually give the results you were expecting . This is the time to determine what you want out of it. To take just footage all you need is a camcorder and you can buy leads to plug into the TV and watch the footage or attach the leads to the VCR to take a VHS copy. To take stills from a camcorder and to email and/or print off you need as a minimum a scope, a firm steady tripod, computer, software, hardware, printer, photo paper, toner (colour & black) and of course a digital camcorder and a method of attaching the camcorder to the scope. Be warned, this can be an expensive hobby so be fully aware of cost long term before you purchase any item. Setting out a list of items with prices sometimes puts things into perspective. Camcorders -I would without hesitation recommend anybody to buy a Digital Camcorder, not everybody can afford them and prices vary but try to buy the best you can afford. Your camcorder needs to fit your scope lens and what the critical point of digiscoping with a camcorder is all about is this - what you are looking for is to measure the diameter of the eyepiece you will use on your scope and then measure the diameter of your chosen camcorder and try to find a camcorder with a glass lens that is either smaller or not much bigger and sits comfortably on the lens eyepiece. Also a fixed scope lens with the smallest magnification is my recommendation ie 20X or 30X although if you only have a zoom lens it is still acceptable but the light gathering is not as much as with a small fixed lens and the zoom can prove too powerful ie 400X, or 500X magnification . My advice is that if it is possible, you need to take your scope/tripod to a local dealer and try this out otherwise you will be disappointed. Makes to look at are Sony, Canon, JVC, Samsung, Sharp and Panasonic. The smaller and lighter the camcorder, the better, due to the weight put onto the lens. |
