    Airline travel with a Scope/tripod ?

    Thank you so much. That's what I had a feeling would be best. Just as long as they don't bend the tripod by throwing it . Maybe I'll pack it inside a hard suitcase. Dan

    Airline travel with a Scope/tripod ?

    I am about to take a trip to Arizona and wanted to take my tripod and Leica Televid. Has anyone traveled in the US with a scope/tripod since the latest security measures and has advice on how to do this. I don't want to check the equipment as it could get damaged or stolen ? Dan

    How to Digiscope with a Televid 77 Straight scope

    re Camera Choices Thanks Ilkka. You might laugh at this but despite all these choices I am going to opt for the Leica Adapter 2 and then buy the new Leica D Lux 3 to go with it. They have made some big improvements on the D Lux 2 and I have read some great reviews on the camera. I'll then have...

    Best Nikon for Digiscoping ?

    Thanks Yossi. I found this info at www.scopetronix.com: This might do it ? How is the battery life for the camera ? Should I get some spares ?

    How to Digiscope with a Televid 77 Straight scope

    Funny you should a few draw backs as I read some reviews about the Nikon 4500 and I can do a little better. The reviews on the Panasonic FX01 are excellent in many sites.. What adapter do you use to attach it to your Leica Scope ? I wonder if the Leica Adapter 2 would accept it ? Dan

    How to Digiscope with a Televid 77 Straight scope

    Thanks. I had a feeling the F30 wouldn't fit the Leica. I am leaning to using a Nikon 4500 ( still available in certain places) with a Scopetronix L Photo adapter right now... I have read great reviews about that camera and the older 990/995's. Dan

    How to Digiscope with a Televid 77 Straight scope

    re Nikon 4500 Thanks Ilkka. I see the Nikon 4500 is available for $400 online but not sure if I should get one of these others you mention instead ?. Which of the Canon models do you think is best ? I'd prefer to stick with Canon or Nikon as I am Mac based and they have USB connections for...

    re Your set Up Many thanks Bob. a couple of questions. what eye piece do you use the 20X 60 or 32 wide angle? I have a 20 X 60. Also how did you attach the camera ? I was thinking of getting the Leica digital Adapter 2 which they say fits most digital cameras. Also looks like you have a shutter...

    Best Canon for digiscoping ?

    Your response The only reason I posted in several forums is because no one seams to be able to offer any advice on the subject. Given the Leica Televid 77 is a popular scope, I am surprised that none is able to provide any help on how to digiscope with this and suitable cameras. I will give up...

    How to Digiscope with a Televid 77 Straight scope

    Your response I don't seam to be getting any advice from anyone on how to digiscope with a Televid 77 successfully so tried posting in several forums.. You'd think this would be something I could be told about given the popularity of the scope. Very disappointing
