Leica is the only optics manufacturer who offers a complete high quality digiscoping kit from the same brand; including digital camera, adapter and high performance spotting scope. Each individual component of the kit has been designed to work in perfect harmony with each other. With the digital camera mounted on the spotting scope you can achieve images of professinal quality, normally only associated with those available by using special telephoto lenses and very high end SLRs.

 

LEICA D-LUX 4

The LEICA D-LUX 4 digital camera is ideal for digiscoping. When the protection ring on the lens is demounted the screw thread is free; this can then be used to fix the camera to the digiscoping adapter. which ensures that the mounting is true and the lens is exactly central.
As well as its high resolution and the high performance image processing technology the D-Lux 4 has two more important digiscoping benefits: it has an image stabalisation system that ensures steady images and with only a press of a button you can push the ISO-factor to 3200. Using this fast setting makes photography in low light, even early dawn, possible.

Leica digiscoping tripods

The two tripods Leica Trima 1 (compact magnesium tripod) and Leica Trica 1 (lightweight carbon fibre tripod) ensure a stable base for your digiscoping kit. As opposed to the classic magnesium tripod Trima 1, the Trica 1 is 15 cm higher at 175cm (without head) but weighs only 180g more and this low weight which will be much appreciated when carrying over longer distances.

The head of the digiscoping tripods LEICA DH 1 is characterised by its flexible movement in all directions. You can adjust the head to find the ideal observing position easily by turning the two fixing fixing screws which will fix it horizontally and vertically.
