ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Digiscoping

Digiscoping is like using a telescope to take pictures. So imagine you're holding a toy telescope and you see a bird in a tree really far away. You could use your phone's camera to take a picture of the bird through the toy telescope. This makes it easier to take pictures of things that are far away because you can get up close without scaring the bird away. It's like a zoom for your phone's camera. People who like to take pictures of birds or wildlife often use digiscoping because it lets them take better pictures without getting too close and scaring the animals away.
