Lovely stuff - wish I were nearer!

Btw, I've not used one, but I thought the Eagleeye 10x adapter didn't need a scope?

scampo

you are getting confused with the eagleeye 5X converter which attaches direct to a camera or camcorder ?

the 10 X lens is attached to your scope and takes the place of your 20 - 60 zoom or your 20 or 32 WA lens ?

I use it for what i call close to close medium distance birds

it is the most sharpest setup on the market at the moment in using a spotting scope and digital camera

i also use it in conjunction with my camcorder attached to this lens and scope

i get truly sharp footage and televison quality with this setup, and you dont have to walk 3 fields back to get the full image of the bird in the frame as you do with digiscoping with a 20 or 30 wa lens with a camcorder

I'm new to digiscoping - I had asked a friend about this but clearly he was confused, too, as he has the 5x adapter.

Could you tell me a little more about the 10x - it seems a good idea? I have the CP4500 and the Zeiss 85.

I've just noticed your images (and review) on the Eagle Eye web site - fantastic! I see you seem to have changed your scope from a Swaro and Leica to a Zeiss, too?

BTW, what a site that is... I struggle to find my way around it every time I visit as it seems so oddly constructed. So far as I can see, there is no adapter available for the Zeiss scope.
