A Primer on Digiscoping with the Swarovski Modular Spotting Scope System

In this travel-related video produced during the 2015 B&H Optic Imaging Conference Clay Taylor, Naturalist Marketing Manager for Swarovski Optik North America talks about the Swarovski Optics Modular Spotting Scope Telephoto System and how it is being used by birders, hunters, and photographers as a lightweight, high-magnification photography tool.

What is the best way of asking Clay questions ?

Hi B and H will my camara canon sx50hs work on the scope as well i love taking photos and stuff

[@BandH]

I would recommend emailing [e-mail] and let us know the specific scope you are looking to use the sx50hs with. Once we know we'll be able to see what is available for you.

[@BandH]

I would go with the spotting scope system, Vincent.
Digiscoping with a spotting scope, telescope, or binoculars turns your camera-even your cell phone camera-into a powerful optical device with a telephoto reach that blows even the most expensive DSLR lenses out of the wetlands, and for a fraction of the cost of a premium telephoto lens. >Mark<

[@yangshaohua9188]

wo, I am second one, who knows the type of the lens in the video?

[@BandH]

+Yang Shaohua The lens in this instance is a Swarovski spotting scope adapted to a DSLR. Below is a link to the Swarovski STX-85 25-60x Spotting Scope Kit with Eyepiece which is a commonly used model for this purpose. Various adapters can be viewed under the "Accessories" tab under the "Digiscoping" section. See the following link. ? Yossi

Don't buy into this idea. If you have the money to purchase a Swarovski set up which is in the thousands then you are better off paying the same amount for a dedicated camera lens.

[@thomaspefferkorn9189]

well, for the money you spend on the Swarovski, you don't get only a lens for your camera, you get also one of the best spotting scopes in the world ....
