4mainbeam Report post Posted March 14, 2014 Hi all, I need a little advice here. Taking pictures though binos or spotting scopes is fun, but I am terrible at it and I see ones that others do all the time that look great. I think having a good adapter makes a huge difference. I recently bought the Swaro SLC 15's and it came with the snapshot adapter, but I can't seem to use it with my camera. I got better pictures by just putting the camera up to the lens of the binos. Check out my post in Rifle hunting for coues deer titled "bucks right now". I took that picture at 600 yards and about 20 others that were way worse. I think that I should be able to get a much more clear picture than that at that distance through the binos or my spotter. I had a big plastic cabelas camera adapter that took about 10 minutes to setup for a picture with and it finally broke, but was also huge and obnoxious so I don't really want to go that route again. My little camera is about shot so I may look into getting a newer one. Any advice on one that will work with the swaro snapshot adapter and has a very fast exposure time or whatever. I have no desire to carry around a huge camera adapter, just would like to occasionally take a picture through my optics. What is the easiest way to do this? (also I don't do smart phones, but have had friends put their I-phone up to my scope and take a better picture through it than I can with my camera)...so maybe I just need a better camera or better setting, but I don't do technology well.

Becker Report post Posted March 14, 2014 +1 on the tines up adapters. Another thing to do, if you are taking photos, is to set the timer on the camera so that you are not touching it when it takes the photo. Push the button then pull away and 5 seconds later the camera snaps the photo. Takes your wobbles out. Or you can put the camera in burst mode so that it takes rapid multiple pictures and then pick out the clear ones. Makes a lot to go through but makes sure you have lots of chances to get the GOOD one!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJMauro12 Report post Posted March 14, 2014 I have something like the tinesup but it is made by vortex. Still haven't actually used it though because I wanted to set it up with my video camera. Problem was my video camera is too heavy and I cant keep my tripod locked on the screen with out the camera pulling it down and aiming at the sky. I am guessing I have to get a stronger tripod head but I'm not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
