Diascope spotting scopes for photography
Digiscoping means not only observing nature with a high magnification spotting scope, but also taking pictures of the fascinating images seen through the spotting scope.
Carl Zeiss offers three different possibilities of using a digiscope spotting scope as a camera lens: Download the detailed brochure

Digital-Camera-Adapter DCA and digital compact cameras.
Pictures are taken directly through the eyepiece with a camera and the camera lens. This procedure is primarily for compact digital cameras that are positioned securely and exactly behind the eyepiece using the Digital-Camera Adapter. Many cameras can be used for this. Once the scope is focused, you can quickly switch between observation and capture by swinging the digital adapter and camera in.

SLR/DSLR Photo Adapter
35mm-SLR/DSLR camera housings (without lens) can be mounted to the spotting scope (without eyepiece) using the photo adapter and a corresponding T2 adapter (depending on the camera bayonet). This results in a very stable connection; however, fast switching to observation is not possible. Both digital and analog SLR cameras can be used.

Camera-Eyepiece DC4
The DC4 camera eyepiece is attached to the Diascope spotting scope instead of a standard observation eyepiece. Unlike the above-mentioned solutions, this permits simultaneous observation and digital photography without losing valuable time. All this with simple, compact equipment, without additional cameras or adapters.
