Need a little help here guys.  I was messing around Sunday trying to set this up. Had 12 Bighorn Sheep bedded. Had the 80mm Swaro on the tripod, tried to get the Sony HDD video camera to work. Now the sun was shining on the view finder a little but I just could not seem to get it all together. Had the scope turned down, sheep were about 450. Now to be sure I was hand holding, my question is do you need to focus the scope to fit the camera or should it pick up what the scope sees.  I will build my own adapter when I get this figured out.  I tried holding the camera at different distances from the camera.  Now be assured I did not spend alot of time here.  Thanks for your suggestions.

Make sure that your in/out eye relief piece is all the way in if the camera lens does not fit inside of it.. I zoom my camera in until the black ring from the scope objective is gone, then adjust the scope to the camera(while watching the lcd screen for clarity). It can be a pain in the neck.. I get decent results though.  Hope that helps
