Title: Iphone camera adapter anyone??
Post by: Hornseeker on December 22, 2014, 03:24:40 PM: Ive seen a few of these available, and the video and cam results seem pretty good. I've actually had fair success just holding my phone up to the eye piece of my spotting scope...

Anyone using one they like? Anyone look at the different models and figure out which is supposed to be the best?

Thanks!

I have a samsung s5 and see that i am waiting for Phonskope to come out with their own version as they currently only make one for the S4.

I would not bat an eye if Swaro made one. Good stuff :tup:

It wouldn't stay squared up to the eyepiece lens of the scope because of the weight of the phone. The fit to the eye piece was loose enough that it would sag making for only half a picture. For $80 it was too much for a crappy result.
