It might give it a try though.

One tip I have was given – set to landscape on the point and shoot etc helped, An attachment might work best but I can’t be bothered with the amount of time that takes – usually when shooting on trips I have a moment to snap something before we get to the next bird (which I need to find more often than not).

I know of a couple of people that can successfully digiscope while holding the scope, but for most of us thats an exercise in futility. Hand-holding the camera works out ok if the camera mates well with the eyepiece and you can get a fast enough shutter speed. It does, however, take alot of practice. I am still struggling to learn digiscoping and long ago realized that a dedicated camera with an adapter for the scope is the only way I am really going to get anywhere on a consistent basis. The hardest thing was simply learning to always bring everthing I need with me. Not nearly satisfied with my results yet, but at least I can say I have learned alot about what does NOT work, and am seeing some improvement.
Regards, Don
