My first dabble into high speed action, Kingfisher emerging from the water, not easy and having to guess the manual focusing, this is a videograb at 8mp and set at 30 fps in camera settings

Will be staying in Palma for a few days shortly and no transport but can bird early mornings, any suggestions please just see to birds? Many Thanks :-)
It's that time of year again, I am at the North West Birdfair at WWT Martin Mere in Lancs this weekend
If you want any help, advice or tips on Digiscoping, come and find me on the Kowa stand, if u bring cameras, make sure your batteries are charged and bring any kit needed for your queries...
This is my own opinion and not that of Kowa, but i suspect that the prohibitive costs of putting in like for like glass ( FLourite ) into the adapter and then the price charged and then the realisation of how many units would sell is the realistic answer if I was a betting man? my own opinion of...

I have tried to make this combo work, but the lens on the camera touches the eyepiece when zooming up due to the length of the camera lens when extended, even though the camera is placed the furthest back it can be on the swing out adapter.
I may have a solution from Kowa, will report back when...
