Digiscope with Gopro?

Recommended Posts

I own a GoPro 6 and the small footprint while mounted on the spotter looks good and would like to go with that setup over a huge iPhone 12. However, if the gopro sucks for digi I would use iphone. Anyone use a gopro for scoping?  Quality?

I used a GoPro Hero 9 with a simple homemade adapter and had decent results, but low light and focus were tricky. Keeping the scope steady made a big difference.

I’ve been messing around with different setups, and I ended up switching to an Insta360 camera because I got better image stability and more flexible mounting options. If you're doing anything near water or want to try it in rougher conditions, check out https://store.insta360.com/water-sports — they’ve got mounts and gear that worked well with my spotting scope and held up in the field.

🤔 hmm...I may have to try it out. I have a Hero 8. It's so wide angle though.
