You guys were kind enough to answer some questions regarding video-scoping a few years ago and I was hoping you may be able to answer some more...
I think it may be time to improve my set up...
Could anyone tell me if using a Canon SLR makes a big difference to the quality over say a Canon compact.
I have been using a compact with adapter and it's limited especially if I want to pan. It will be going through a Swaro 80.
The Canon 70D seems to be a popular choice coupled with a small lens and is about the size of my budget.
Is it best to attach the SLR directly to your scope rather than using a pivoted bracket?
Is the video then at a fixed magnification?
Is there vignetting at all?
I guess there's an auto focus on the Canon SLR cameras and is this a help or hinderance?
Is the use of an additional angled viewfinder useful?
Any advice would of course be incredibly welcome.
