I've been thinking about a digiscoping rig for awhile, so I've been reading stuff in a variety of places out on the web.
One thing which has surprised me is the head choice. In photography circles, the larger lens users all seem to go for large ball heads (arca swiss & kirk for example.) This does not seem to be the choice that many use with scopes (and therefor for digiscoping.)
Why? Is it purely cost (the companies I listed make very expensive heads) or something else I'm missing?
I've used a scope before (a few dozen times) but I've never owned one. So its quite possible that I don't know something which experience would otherwise have taught me.
