Anyone try the new digiscope setups ?

2nd, about the Bluetooth shutter clicker, it's so nice to have, and they are cheap.

I use the novagrade adapter. the pro is that it works with any phone, so you don't have to buy anything new if you get a new phone, or if you are using someone else's phone.  The con is it's big and bulky compared to the rest of the options.

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.

My recommendation is always take video. It allows to possibly capture more angles and details.  So many times you only get seconds with a buck before they hit cover or they are moving and won't stop for a still so you end up with a blurry still. Video allows you to capture so much more detail in a short window of time :twocents:

Mtnwalker:
Just checked out the website the Ollin looks like a slick setup, do you have to tuck your ears into your hat when using it or is that optional?

Buckjunkie:
Two seasons with Ollin. Way better than phonescope and much cheaper when you change phones.

Also, there is far less movement when you attach, so you don’t lose your subject in the field of view.

High Climber:
The mag view worked decent for me last year but it’s a pain to line up perfect and gets harder if you are in a hurry to catch a moving animal.. I’ll have to give the Olin a try also. I second the video suggestion, it’s really helpful to be able to ffwd or rwd to catch different angles  :tup:
