Post by: RyanD on May 19, 2009, 09:00:42 PM: It has been frustrating so far, I am a real novice when it comes to cameras. The sturdy tripod and the self timer are very important. The elk were out at the house all day and I couldn't figure out how to set this stupid thing up. I think I am getting better though. I don't plan on any prof. pics just fun while I am scouting. Should be fun anyway.

Post by: Slider on May 20, 2009, 09:07:32 AM: I have a friend that purchased the 80mm HD scope.(he sold 2 guns to get it!!!) He uses Nikon equipment and takes awesome photos. So far he hasn't been happy with the pics he has been getting digiscoping for what he paid? But it is a learning curve. I don't know if he has it figured out yet? I have seen very nice photo's with that setup thou. Keep after it.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on May 22, 2009, 03:58:24 PM: nice fish eagle pics! That zoom really works.
...sounds too complicated and looks too expensive for my blood though. I'll just enjoy your results. :chuckle:
