Cannon ELPH

[Beastmode]

My wife got me a cannon ELPH 100 HS. This camera does not have threads for filters. It seems like the piece on the front of the camera can be removed to add an adapter for threads... does anyone know if this is possible?

Is there a hole to mount it on a tripod? If so you can use a Zeikos lens adapter on it. I believe the Zeikos adapter is 37mm, tines up rings fit on it. The Zeikos adapter is about 15 bucks most anywhere online.

I have pics of it on my Canon A1300 in my Swaro Digiscope set-up post.

Yes there is a hole to mount a tripod. Im not quite sure what you are talking about.... is there an adapter that screws in to the tripod mount and that goes over the lens?

Just use the Zeikos adapter and a Tines Up 37mm Video Scopecam for your spotter. Should work great with that camera.

The Zeikos adapter will mount to the tripod screw mount and the adapter fits right over the lens. BB lead me to that and it is awesome.

i have the same camera, just got it a few months ago to replace an old old point and shoot canon, works great. i chose it over the 110 hs, hoping after reading various posts that it would be the better choice for digiscoping, i haven't tested it yet other than video which came out great.

I have the 300HS and the lens is to big to work with the Zeikos. I think its the same with the 100HS. A couple posts down there are DIY pics of what I used for the 300HS.

100hs works fine with the zeikos adapter, that's what I use it with

Yup, works just fine with the 100HS...

Anyone else using the 100HS notice poor battery life while recording video??

 

[jherald]

Batteries was a big sell for me and the Canon A1300, runs on AA's. It's nice to have a pocket point and shoot that i don't have to worry about batteries staying charged. Just pop new ones in and keep shootin.

i havent done extensive video by any means, but just taking pics to me it seems the small point and shoot cameras last forever.....i did however buy an extra battery for the 100hs as i plan on doing more digiscoping this year....nice to have just in case and weighs less than 2AA batteries. however the down side is it doesnt serve multiple purposes like AA batteries can
