Digiscoping with the Nikon V2 (1 Viewer)

Although I've had the V2 for a while I haven't been digiscoping with it much since I got the Sony RX 100 and RX 100 M2.
I had it out in the local park yesterday with the 18.5 mm lens. As usual the AF of the Nikons was very fast (the Nikon P330 is also very good ).
I was shooting low through the park railings so missed a rotatable screen which meant I had to bend down a lot which is not much fun.
The 18.5 mm lens doesn't vignette with the Swarovski 30-70x zoom eyepiece.
I would prefer to start a bit wider than 30x .
The V2 isn't as big an improvement over the V1 as I would like and I don't like the video button move to the top dial as I can't feel it without looking. It was a one stop click on the V1. The extra megs don't help much.
Here is a short video

They look very good to me, Neil. I will follow with interest any further posts concerning image quality and general ease of use of the V2 that you are willing to share. Thanks.

Neil,

Any further comments regarding the above setup? Does the V2 give more "croppabilty" compared to the V1, in other words, when cropping into the image does it retain more detail?

Another question, if you don't mind. If attaching the FT1 adaptor without a lens does the camera still allow aperture priority metering and the magnification feature in manual focus mode? I was considering using one or two legacy Zeiss lenses (35mm and 50mm) for digiscoping but neither will connect electronically with the camera. Hope that makes sense.

Many thanks,

Mike

Lovely! Wish one could use a wired remote with the Nikon 1 series
