Depending on your budget, a digital scope. DNT is my preference and the best bang for your buck. You won't be disappointed.

Orion makes very high quality products.
I have been using his magazines for quite a few years. They still work flawlessly !
This is probably 1 your most budget friendly option and some of the highest quality video.

With some more thought all my hits will be on a feeder. Maybe all I need is just a video camera with zoom lins? Any input from the experts out there? Thanks

I use a Tactacam 5.0 with FTS (Film thru scope) mount. I'm not trying for "production" grade videos but as a diagnostic tool. It's definitely up to the task and half the cost of most systems.

Yes as I keep looking, maybe my iphone would work with some type of magnification?
Also, "a good camera" absolutly no idea where to even begin with something like that...
I really want very good, clear images with maybe slow motion.. Gerhard and others have some good videos.

There are a lot of 3d printable files on thingiverse for phone mounts for scope.
And the British Guys use cheap 60-80 bucks 4k camcorders and mount them in front of their scopes. You can even use night vision with it.
Or search on AliExpress, they sell telescope cams there, maybe you can use them on the scope too.

While I have not shot any video yet the Oneleaf Commander is an impressive video scope full 4 K image quality is pretty sweet. It is quite the package with the laser rangefinder but available without for a few hundred less. Full 4k either 30 or 60 FPS can't remember which. 26 X zoom with the small lens. So far I like it a lot.

Any decent generic action camera from the interwebs would work well if you put it close to POI.

In the minority here. I very much recommend against digital although I suppose for 35 yards it would be pretty good. You already have a scope , get a side shot with go pro. Will be a lot clearer at all ranges. Digital pixelates as soon as you zoom and looks like crap by the time you get to 5-6x in my opinion. Plus while hunting in places with inconsistent lighting they are like a camera that is always slightly off. Either too dark or too light. Just me as most like them. I think they are ok but regular glass will serve you much better in the daytime. Many times over.
