Post by: n_mathews13 on March 14, 2020, 05:43:12 AM: Never had one.
What do you use?

Post by: dmoua on March 15, 2020, 11:50:06 PM: What are you planning to use it on? A spotting scope? Pretty simple process all you need is the case for your phone and the correct eye piece for whatever optic you're using. They also have universal eye pieces if you plan to use it on a variety of optics.

Really liked it on my leupold gold ring and then I got a Swarovski and the different adapter and it’s almost to tight. Half the time it pulls off the rubber eye piece on the end. Not sure if there’s a better brand out there that’s the only one I have tried.

Cell pics through a spotter are greatly affected by the lighting...the new phones are getting much better and are a pretty handy tool to have

What do you think of the Novagrade, MtnMuley? I’ve been thinking about getting that one

Too heavy, doesn't seem to stay tight after sizing it to my phone, and there's too much wiggle between the adapter rings and my spotter. It has cost me several pic opportunities.

That’s good information - thanks. Have you tried the Tines Up Phonecam? Because that was the one I was going back and forth with

I haven't owned one, but used one a while back. It was an Otter Box type which I liked, but again, the scope mounting part wasn't solid enough for my liking. I'd take it over a Novagrade though.

Post by: Magnum_Willys on July 30, 2020, 07:35:56 AM: I use the procam app with phonescope instead of iphone camera as it allows better control of using 2x lens and manually setting exposure and focus.
