    Nikon P5100

    Both Cullmann (£17) and Manfrotto (£22) make quick release platforms like this, I went for the Cullmann as it is lighter than the Manfrotto (and I had one lying around).

    Nikon P5100

    Here's a shot of my set up - the Qr adpter attaches where the camera normally would, you then put a QR plate on the camera. It does make switching between digiscoping and taking landscapes/snaps much easier.

    Hi Steve one of these will work fine with the P5100 and a TSN-3 - http://www.cleyspy.co.uk/ovl-universal-digiscoping-adapter-i643.html not the most stylish of adapters but it does work well.

    no - the FSB-6 is designed specifically to fit the Nikon eyepeice and will not work with the Leica ones. I guess it should work fine with the Leica adapter (though I've not been able to check this) or you could use a tube type adapter (you should be able to get one from SRB) attached via a UR-E20.

    Nikon P5100

    Shooting in A is a good starting place, the lower the f number the wider the aperture of the lens, so more light gets through and the shutter speed is faster. In A it's best to start with the aperture set wide open (lowest f number you can get at a given point on the zoom) as this should keep...

    Cheers, I was quite happy with them, it's certainly a nice camera to use. I'm not sure how my settings compare to others on the thread, but I started out using the following: white balance - auto ISO - auto upto 200 metering - center weighted continuous shooting auto bracketing - off AF area -...

    Nikon P5100

    I gave my P5100 a first proper test today, I'm impressed with it. It's very easy to use, the screen is great (a real step up from the 4500) and the IQ seems nice too. Now I just need to spend more time using it.

    Nikon P5100

    I think this is the way to go too. I got a P5100 at the weekend and am using it with a tube adapter, it works very nicely indeed. I tried the SRB swing adapter and was not very impressed. I've not tried the P5100 on the Leica adapter, but it's a nice adapter if the camera fits. Daf - from what...

    I'm assuming that you are referring to the Nikon RA III spotting scope, if so it is definitely not up to the standard of the ED 82. The ED 82 is currently one of (if not the) best value scope around, for the money you won't get anything better.
