A brilliant world first from the renown optical specialist Minox provides all birders, wild animal and nature observers with a completely new and very affordable digiscoping or viewing experience! With the new Minox Digital Camera Module (DCM) fitted to a quality telescope a fast easy-fitting solution has been provided for taking digital pictures through a spotting scope. Simply fitted to the eyepiece bayonet of a scope this highly innovative product is an exciting combination of digital amera with normal camera function, 2.0" TFT monitor and eyepiece all in one. What is even more exciting is that nature lovers need no additional equipment-such as brackets and special adapters-to get into practical digiscoping. The engineers at Minox can now boast that they have been successful in bringing fast and convenient digiscoping to the general market through their overall knowledge and experience that has now enabled them to bridge the separate worlds of high-performance optics and digital camera technology into a compact, lightweight and economic package. The very compact size of around 68x56x71mm and weighing in at 220 grams the Minox Digital Camera Module is so convenient to carry and travel with that it looks to be the perfect accessory for every quality spotting scope. The screen allows more than one person to not only view the subject at the same time but also see the pictures or videoclips taken or being taken. Its just like using a powerful telephoto lens with a terrific 40X magnification. Due to its compact size and light weight, the DCM 5 megapixel camerais very nice to hold while at the same time being multi compatible. Initially it will be made with different bayonet fittings for high quality scopes from Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski and Kowa as well as the Minox MD 62 range. Being watertight and shock-proof the DIgital CamerA Module can comfortably be used i nadverse weather conditions, although bright light is preferable for good result with digiscoping. It is also built to stand up to rough outdoor use in extreme cases if necessary .A convenient folding flip-up built-in shield not only protects the TFT monitor and the operating controls during transportation and storage, but probably more important, when erected it acts as an antidazzle shield when the DIgital Camera Module is in operation as it prevents interfering reflections on the viewfinder image and gives a better density of image i nbright light conditions. The 2.0" inch color display monitor screen serves not only as a viewfinder for getting the subject into view but also for fine adjustment of the normal camera functions as well as for checking the images after shooting. For those not yet into digiscoping the advantages of the Minox Digital Camera Module are more than obvious for use either alone, with a partner or friend, or in a small group. Hunters or those on safari can see game from a long way away and take pictures at the same time while birders are able to observe the species from a safe distance and capture images rich in detail, with a camera resolution of up to five megapixels. To do this, a powerful lens-replacing the eyepiece-transfers the image to the sensor of the digital camera integrated in the DCM. To store the image data this exceptional camera has an internal memory of 128MB as well as a port for SD memory cards with a capacity of up to 4 Gigabyte. Power is provided by a replaceable high-capacity lithium-ion battery-guaranteeing extensive observation and photographic fun when out and about! The Minox Digital cmaera Module comes complete with battery, soft pouch, wireless remote control, USB cable and manual.
