Recording movies or taking pictures from great distances is now super easy with the Spotting Scope Digital Camera. You can get a whopping 14X magnification which allows you to take pictures of or record events even when you can’t be close to the action. Yet you can also record images as close as 5 feet from the camera.

Would this not be the perfect gadget to have for recording your kid’s Christmas concerts or sporting events? I don’t know about you but getting a good seat at my daughters’ concerts is not unlike winning the lottery. Most parents stand at the back and get crappy recordings or have to dodge in and out of one another at the front and hope no one yells at them—yes, it’s a magical time. So I would love to be able to stand at the back of the gym, off to the side, and still get an awesome recording. This would work like a charm to get up close recording of that special soccer or hockey game as well. Perfect!
