Great pics NW!!  If you don't mind my asking what is the model you're using?  Being an avid photographer something like this may really come in handy for me.

Thanks

It's a CamKing FS608 720P.  When I was shopping for one on Amazon, these binoculars were about the 3rd lowest price one of all the ones I saw. I didn't want to spend too much until I knew if they really worked well.  You can also take videos with them, but I didn't have something set right when I thought I was taking videos evidently because all that uploaded were the pics.

Great photo's. I bought the binocular camera also. Returning it tomorrow. Not a camera person and could not figure out the settings..maybe if I knew more about cameras. Oh well will just enjoy yours.

I know - I didn't check into all the settings before using it, which is why the date shown is incorrect.  I thought I could just use it as easy as the camera on my phone, but there are quite a few settings with the binoc/cam.  Before I use them next year I'll make sure I go through each option and have it set up already before I go.  Honestly, I didn't even know how to get into the settings until one of the people at ATF showed me how!  Plus, I thought I had done a couple of videos, but must have not done that correctly either because I couldn't find them.  So you're absolutely right - it's not as easy as aim and shoot.   :P

I FINALLY uploaded the pics from my binocular camera today!  Great clarity and once I know what the heck I'm doing with it, it'll be nice.  Disregard the date on the pics because I obviously didn't think about changing that before I started using the binoculars!  ::)

I wanted to post these as a slideshow, but wasn't sure if I could do that in forum, and if I could, HOW to do it.  (Lori HELP!!)
Yay! Glad it worked for you. I'll be getting mine for next year's ATF, since I didn't make it this year. :( Love the shot with the blackbird! You can clearly see the red on the wings! Amazing. Thanks for posting!

Given how inexpensive they were, I was very pleased with the picture quality and hope to take videos next year after learning all the settings.  The main thing I wanted to do was keep my distance from the eagles, but have the pictures look like I was right there with them, and I think it did that pretty well. Thanks so much for mentioning them in chat that day - I had no idea there was such a thing!    :)
