Yes you will need a T Mount for your camera for digiscoping. This is the B&H part number for the T ring for your camera, B&H#KOTMN. When you get the T ring home before you can start digiscoping. You will need to take the lens off your camera and screw the T ring in it's place. The only other thing you will need is an adapter for the telescope you are using. The adapter will depend on the telescope you have. After you get the correct adapter attach it to the telescope and screw the camera onto the adapter. Then start shooting.

The foot on the Nikon scopes is not Arca compatible. So far very few brands make scopes with an Arca compatible foot. You can attach an Arca compatible plate to the foot to use it on your Really Right Stuff tripod.

The Nikon Fieldscope ED50 comes with a soft padded stay on case. You can use the case to carry the scope and you can leave the case on while using the scope.

First ...this is an amazing scope ......superb clarity . We own 2 other scopes and this is the one that goes to the best destinations for birding......even when weight is not a factor .It is so light and compact , that it needs a light and compact tripod ....Gitzo Traveller is what we use , with a ball head . The combo will fit in a medium size daypack for hike to birding sites. The 13-30 eyepiece is fine......we added a lesser power fixed eyepiece ( less than 30 ) wide angle ....for scanning large expanses of marsh or lakes , but carry both for an occasional raptor in a distant tree , or a moose way across a lake .
