Anybody used a set of binoculars with a built in camera.
A few times recently whilst on my daily exercise I've seen things
through the binoculars which would have been nice to capture.
Also seen birds, deer, a fox, hares etc.
Has anyone used these things?
Seems like a sensible ideaÂ* but not much good if the quality is
rubbish or usability is poor.
Applying a bit of lateral thought, you can get adaptors to allow a
phone camera to me mounted on a telescope of half a binocular.
These always seem to be crap - the iris is never big enough so you
always get a 'porthole' picture.Â* I haven't tried expensive ones, but
it seems like a normal binocular with a normal phone just isn't quite
compatible.
realistically the limits on telephoto photography of this sort are
camera shake, and in this contexts a DSLR with a VR telephoto is hard to
beat
Ive used 400mm prime on a tripod, but realistically 300mm is the limit
on a hand held.
Liek a sniper, the binocs are for spotting, the telehoto equiupped gun
or camera is to take the shot...
Also please see my response to BW up thread.
Cheers
