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 idea but not much good if the quality is rubbish
or usability is poor.


OK.

I suppose this is normal for the people on this Group trying to be extra
helpful.

However I haven't had one response saying "I've tried this and found it
good/bad/indifferent.".

Just loads of people suggesting that I get stuff that I have already got,
but have decided isn't quite right for my use case.


Anyway, there is the rest of the weekend. :-)

what you are asking for is the binoc equivalent of an
electric car that has a range of 600 miles and takes
a few minutes to charge I'm afraid. Combining a decent
camera with a pair of binocs seems to be a compromise
so the manufacturers don't bother when they can make
good quality cameras and good quality binocs as
separate products.

The only possible solution is this Pentax monocular
that has a smart phone adapter, but it is only 6x

The problem here is the smart phone might have anti-shake but will
not allow for an unsteady hand holding the monocular.
