Adapters

You can hand hold your camcorder against the lens of your scope but you need a more reliable method and one which is not going to give you continuous camera shake !!.
The cheapest method is to attach tied loops of elastic around the tripod head and around the camcorder body, but it does become a balancing act, not to mention the chance of the camcorder falling to the floor !
Manufacturers are bringing out scope adapters for camcorders now, and there are maybe three or four different types which can fit most popular types of scopes and camcorders, shop around and look at all the available types which you feel suits your set up.
Once you have bought your adaptor you will have to overcome the uneven weight distribution which with both camcorder and scope, has now moved, using a lightweight tripod with a lightweight head in turn had its problems for me with trying to align exactly on the bird, this in turn prompted me to buy a video head which allowed me far more manouverability than with the previous tripod head although some scope tripod heads are up to the job. Its a question of trial and error. Now armed with your Scope Tripod camcorder and adaptor, you are now ready to start Digiscoping !!
