What's the Most Frustrating? (1 Viewer)

What's your most frustrating digiscoping story? Does it involve:

- Uncooperative birds?
- Bad weather?
- Wobbly tripods?
- Your bloody old camera?

I'd love to hear.....

Cheers!

That's an amazing story thanks for sharing!

Any more out there?

Dropping my Pentax DSLR by accident. It has been ok afterwards. I was using my Orion 100ED prime focus. The camera had a short adapter on it for prime focus. Not much of a story.

A few years back I had the scope with camera already attached and clipped it into the quick release on the tripod, or at least I thought I did. Turned round to do something and while my back was turned the scope and camera fell to the ground with an almighty crash. The whole lot landed vertical with the camera taking the whole impact. The screen was smashed in and nothing functioned anymore, that was the end of that days digiscoping. The insurance covered it and I got a nice new modern camera so it wasn't all bad. |=)|

Another thing I can think of is when you are about to take that epic photo, a message flashes up ' Memory Card Full ' and you frantically try to delete some images before the bird flies off.

I went out more than once for an afternoon of digiscoping and had left the memory card in the computer. That is really annoying.

I can second the "left the memory card in the computer" event...haha...more than once.
