Digiscoping Essentials
Embark on your digiscoping journey with confidence! Our digiscoping basics guide equips you with essential tips, tricks and inspiration to kickstart your journey.

4 reasons to start digiscoping

Capture stunning nature & wildlife photos and videos effortlessly.

1. No need to carry much more.

If you're observing nature through a scope or binoculars, you likely already
have your phone with you. No need to carry a bulky camera and lens.

2. Closer to nature.


Utilizing the enhanced magnification of the spotting scope or binoculars, as opposed
to relying on the smartphone camera's digital zoom, allows you to capture significantly
closer views and higher-quality images without disturbing the subject by getting too close.

3. Click & go.


Kowa provides the simplest and most user-friendly adapters, requiring no setup time —
simply click your phone into place and attach it to the scope or binoculars for instant
nature photography enjoyment!

4. Universal & dedicated options.


Explore a selection of over 100 smartphone adapters, compatible with the latest
smartphones for your convenience.
