Digiscoping - attaching a digital point and shoot to a spotting scope to take pictures - has seen yet another surge in popularity, thanks in large part to the appearance of universal style digital adapters now flooding the market. In the past, finding adapters for specific cameras has been a headache, since there is no standardization on filter thread size, accessory brackets and so on. This meant that many cameras could not be mounted to a spotting scope. On the other end, very few spotting scopes offered digital camera adapters. Now, with adapters such as the
Radian Universal, nearly any digital camera can be mounted on practically and spotting scope. This doesn't mean all possible combinations of camera and spotting scopes are good matches, but it does mean it is now easier to get your feet wet in digiscoping than ever before.
