I am currently using a Swaro ATS80HD, and am happy digiscoping with it. Also using a Sony DSC-TRV356E video camera (Digital8, with an 18x zoom), which I am also happy with.
Trouble comes when I try to use them together - I need so much zoom to eradicate vignetting, that the net magnification is huge. Even at 20x on the scope, the 8-10x needed on the video gives about 200x in total - way to much.
One simple solution would seem to be the addition of a Sony 3x teleconverter in place of the scope, giving me 3x-54x zoom with just the video. Not cheap though, so if anyone has any experience of using one, I'd appreciate any hints or tips prior to purchase.
Alternately, any solutions to using the scope/video combo would be appreciated too.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
