I’m back to outdoorsmans setup. I thought ollin was junk especially for the price. To me outdoorsmans is quicker and I can zoom to the max and it stays in focus. Will be having a ollin iPhone 13 case and BTX adapter for sale real soon, unless I need it to hold some papers down or something.
Interesting.  I had the outdoorsmans for quite a few years. My experience between them and Ollin are completely opposite of yours.  Couldn't press it on without putting a second hand on the optic, with the press on movement it would often push my spotter off target. Took 2-3x longer to get it on and filming vs the ollin. And best of all my phone didn't have to live with a eye piece connected to it all the time.


Ya 100% the opposite, I use it on the swaro btx so maybe that’s the problem? I can’t look through my spotter with just the eye piece deal on my spotter. So I need to find the game worth videoing then screw the eye piece in on the one side, put the eye piece deal on,(which fits like crap honestly, I have just had it fall right off with my phone in it multiple times)and the cool magnet part then works. Pain in the butt compared to outdoorsmans. Mainly because all I have to do, if it’s not done already is screw the adapter onto my phone case and put it on the eye piece. To each their own I guess. To me it is way better than the ollin. I was so disappointed with ollin, I was shocked there were any good reviews.

Hey I can't see where the Ollin would work on a BTX at all unless you just left your phone camera on the whole time and just looked at the screen instead of through the eye pieces. Not optimal for that application at all :chuckle:

Bit of a side note, highly recommend getting a bluetooth shutter remote similar to the one linked below. Slip it in the bino harness and use it if you have time. Eliminates the shake and blurriness you get trying to tap the shutter button on your phone.

This buck almost walked on top of me. Photo is maybe at 100 yards. It's not @boneaddict quality, but it would not be as good as it is without the remote shutter! Standard iPhone 15, swaro STC, Ollin.
That’s solid advice thanks!
