    DSLR adapter discontinued.

    I have just purchased the vortex viper 20-60x85. I want to use this for digiscoping and the adapter seemed a straight forward fit. Until you go to buy it that is. Then you find out it has been discontinued. Can anyone advise me on a suitable adapter by a different manufacturer. Thanks in...

    Red Kite in North Antrim.

    Nice, I knew they had been introduced and doing well in the Castlewellan area. Good to see they are spreading.

    Useful trailcam link

    Found this today and thought it worth adding. While I'm not sure about their top 10 cams which is based on the best sellers (which is often price rather than quality related). If you scroll past the reviews there is an excellent guide to trail cams , what to look for, advantages and...

    New trail cam

    Great to see this forum open. I have just bought my first trail cam and look forward to capturing some footage and sharing it with you all. Placed last night and captured what looked like a badger in the distance. Just too far away to be sure. So out again tonight and hopefully get luckier...

    Affordable camera traps you can recommend?

    I bought an icefox trailcam as it had great reviews. Have to say so far I agree with them. 1080 HD resolution 2" screen on the back to review images. Choice of image , image and film or film only, wide angle lens 120 degree capture paired with a 0.4sec reaction time means you don't miss...
