My wife has ditched her Panasonic mainly due to its weight, a challenge to her arthritic hands, in favour of her iPhone 11.

Her close up and scenery shots are truly excellent quality, causing me to delegate general out and about photography to her!! (I even sold my Sony spare camera)

Of course the iphone lacks distance photography and so we have been experimenting with her iPhone connected to our Swarovski scope.

Very early days, with a lot of issues around custom setting retention (you need to stop the iphone auto focus and use the scope to focus …but if iPhone allowed to go to sleep it reverts to default camera settings:banghead:

But thought I would share her literally first clips that we strung together…..



It’s also to some degree a hammer to crack an egg with close up birds. Even at the scopes widest setting it’s hard to follow and keep in frame frenetic feeding birds. And the last thing you want to do while filming is move the scope.  But she will no doubt master the requirements ….then I can sell all my equipment and just watch the birds. :lol:


I did take the opportunity of a still shot while she was swearing at the iphone.
