@sreffaketahi, it is a Canon 1000D with the standard 18-55mm kit zoom, 25-50x wide angle eyepiece, and the UCA digiscoping adapter

hey budd, nice video, is this taken in south africa? IM from cape town and need some help finding a digiscope, or spotting scope for my EOS1000d canon, do u think i wil get a adapter for my camera to fit on a spotting scope? please let me know, I've been stuggling to get something. I've tried all the suppliers in Cape Town that I can think of.

Kind Regards

@sreffaketahi, I would suggest phoning up Whysalls in Umhlanga Rocks and asking them where the best place in CT would be to go look (they are the Swaro distributors in RSA).

@sreffaketahi Hey there, I've managed to get my hands on a Vangaurd 580 High Plain 20x60x80, do you think, it is suitable for wild life?

A great informative video for a beginner like me, thanks!

why do you use an entry level reflex with this incredible lens ?

[capepolly]

Hi simone12russo, as a product manager and keen digiscoper, I tend to use a whole pile of different cameras to try to keep fresh with what is out there. The 1000D in the video is a neat little camera, but I would guess that about 80% of digiscopers are using compact cameras with sensors smaller than this camera. That said, my favorite camera at the moment is the Canon 5DII, although I have been using the 7D a lot over the last two weeks.

@Simone, I now see that I had responded to your question from my private (capepolly) account and not from the original (digiscopingvideos) account. happy birding, Dale
