Extending What a Spotting Scope Can Do

Most accessories either change what the scope can be used for, or make it easier to carry and protect.

• Digiscoping adapters: Hold a camera or phone at the eyepiece, producing extremely long effective focal lengths for wildlife and lunar photography.
• Alternative eyepieces: Fixed focal length eyepieces that typically give a wider true field than a zoom at the same magnification.
• Stay-on cases: Protective covers that remain fitted during use, so the scope survives vehicle transport and field conditions without unpacking.
• Tripod adapters and plates: Quick-release plates and rails that let the scope move between tripods without rethreading.
• Astronomy adapters: Hardware allowing astronomical eyepieces to be used, extending magnification range beyond the stock zoom.
• Sunshades and covers: Extend the objective shade to reduce glare and stray light in bright field conditions.

Spotting Scope Accessories in Canada — Frequently Asked Questions

Can I attach a camera to my spotting scope?

With the right adapter, yes. Effective focal lengths of well over 1000 mm are typical, which means a very steady tripod and fast shutter speeds or a stationary subject.

Will astronomical eyepieces fit?

On some scopes with the correct adapter, which extends the magnification range beyond the stock zoom. Fittings are manufacturer-specific, so tell us the model.

Is a stay-on case worth it?

For a scope that travels in a vehicle or lives in a pack, considerably. It protects against knocks without needing to be removed each time you use the scope.

Zoom or fixed eyepiece?

Zooms are convenient and modern ones are very good. A fixed eyepiece typically gives a wider true field at the same magnification, which helps when scanning.
