:o It's wonderful to take inflight shots by digiscoping.

Would you mind to tell us how these nice inflight shots were taken by digiscoping?

Is CP4300 more suitable for digiscoping than CP4500?

Amoung Japanese birdwatcher they said that CP4300 is the best digital camera for digiscoping. Thay made a lot of test and developed camera adoptor for scope.
By the way to take photo of birds inflight I take following way.
1.Focus:
 Setting digital camera's focus manual instead of auto, and
　 adjust focus by scope.
2.Catch the target
 by usung led-fiber pointer which you can buy at Shekou
　 Ferry Terminal in China. You can buy around rmb50 per
　　piece.
3.How to take photo
　 Just adjust the focus at the point where the bird will
 be expected to fly and wait.
 
Please see my set
