What Is Digiscoping?

By combining the magnification of a Fieldscope to the imaging capability of a 
Nikon digital camera, nature enthusiasts can capture their distant sightings 
much more easily than through the use of long, heavy, unwieldy telephoto 
lenses. On average, a Nikon digiscoping setup is one-third the weight of an 
SLR/super telephoto lens. Even better, it costs a mere fraction of a traditional 
camera/telephoto lens set-up. 

Through digiscoping, you can achieve magnification of images up to the 
equivalent of a 3420mm zoom lens on a 35mm camera. A Super-telephoto 
lens (600mm) with a 2x teleconverter for an SLR camera would give you only 
1200mm, but at a prohibitive price and significantly more weight.

“looking at waterfowl and gulls in the winter 

in Ithaca nY can be a nasty business. It’s cold, 

wet, windy and the birds have a habit of not 

being very close to you. my nikon Prostaff 

Spotting Scope evens the playing field  

considerably. Its waterproof and fog-proof 

design stands up to the harshest weather 

thrown at me by the new York winter, and  

the included case keeps it well protected  

from the falls and bumps it receives when  

the wind wins a round with my tripod.”
