D-SLR Digiscoping Adapter

The Kowa TSN-PA7 D-SLR digiscoping adapter transforms your
KOWA TSN 880/770 series spotting scope into an extremely high
powered telephoto lens for your D-SLR camera. Allowing you to
not only experience stunningly sharp views of the world around
you, but also take highly magnified, detailed and vibrant
photographs and videos with your D-SLR camera.

In contrast to conventional digiscoping, where the image
produced by the spotting scope eyepiece is photographed, the
TSN-PA7 connects your D-SLR directly to the body of the scope
via a T2 mount. This creates a high powered, yet lightweight and
compact telephoto lens, when compared to traditional telephoto
lenses.

Designed for use with the Kowa TE-11WZ / TE-10Z zoom
eyepieces and Kowa TSN-880/770 series spotting scopes, the
TSN-PA7 maintains the full zoom range capabilities of your
eyepiece to deliver an amazing focal length reach of up to
2570mm when using the TE-11WZ eyepiece or 2750mm with the
TE-10Z.

For an even greater range of focal lengths, the TSN-PA7
adapter can be used with the Kowa telephoto lens system.**

Achieve the finest focus by using the responsive dual manual
focus wheels on the scope body. Incorporating quick and ultra­fine focus options, you are in full control of focusing. Quick
and accurate manual focusing on even the most
challenging of subjects is now easily achievable. No more auto­focus related fru stration. The decision is yours.

Alternate between normal scope viewing and photography with
speed and ease. The TSN-PA7 simply slides over the eyepiece
and quickly secures or releases via a unique collar that screws

Digiscoping Tips

Due to the unrivalled high magnifications that can be achieved in digiscoping, it can be a challenging but also a very rewarding method of telephoto
photography. Try these useful tips to help you get the best results with digiscoping.

Even the slightest movements can cause camera shake resulting in blurred images. Try setting your D-SLR to mirror lock-up - this will help reduce
vibrations when the shutter is fired.

A sturdy tripod with a good, smooth video panning head is highly recommended to keep your digiscoping setup stable.

Use your cameras self-timer or a remote control to fire the shutter of your camera, the less you handle your camera while taking the shot, the less
the risk of camera shake.

Good lighting is essential in digiscoping. That results in faster shutter speeds to help freeze the motion of your subject and minimize camera shake.
