An interview with Kowa Digiscoper Paul Hackett

Paul Hackett is widely accepted as one of the UK’s leading bird Digiscopers. He has been at the forefront of the Digiscoping revolution since 1998 and has pioneered many of the techniques and best practice used to great success today. Paul has had his work widely published in all the leading UK birding journals such as Birding World, Bird watching, Bird watch, British Birds and Dutch Birding. Paul’s bird images and video footage have been used by both UK regional and national news services and on many websites.

He continues to use Kowa’s Prominar TSN-884 for digiscoping and the Kowa TP 556 Prominar Telephoto lens in order to obtain the best quality image.

Join us as we interview Paul and get the lowdown on his digiscoping techniques, equipment and fabulous images.

Great upload, such a shame the bird fair couldn't take place, as it is the only time I tend to see you
these days.i remember our first meeting at Brandon Marsh, midlands bird fair, I'm still just as
keen now as I was after my course with you. Keep up your outstanding work Paul. Phil.

I've recently did a digiscoping side by side comparison between a G9 and Samsung 8plus phone. The resolution difference was minor and I feel not worth the extra hassle of the MFT camera system. The rear screen on the camera is no comparison to the large hi res display of the phone. Makes it so much easier to focus. I also found the extra weight of the G9 causes the tripod head to float unless you really crank it down. My phone only has the wide angle lens camera so I and looking at upgrading to a new phone with multiple lens. Just putting this out there for anyone interested. Thanks for the Paul Hackett vids.
