PhoneSkope

Postby Seminole » 04 08, 2015 •  [Post 1]

Guys: I ran across this product and decided to take the plunge.... Anyone have any experience with PhoneSkope? I was told by the manufacturer they are very Vortex Optics friendly. To me this would be a great tool to assist in the pre-scout of your favorite elk area...

I picked one up about a month ago and have used it several times. I paired it with my iPhone 6 and Zeiss 10x40B's. Very happy with it so far. Fits snugly over the eye piece and is light weight. There is no way your phone will fall out of the unit. When paired with a decent phone and optics the picture and video can be moderate quality.

There are several brands out for digi scoping. I picked up one at the sportsman's show in Denver in Jan. but haven't had a chance to play with it yet on the mountain. Using it in my back yard it works awesome and I enjoy being able to use my spotting scope with my phone. It's a lot easier on the eyes thats for sure.

Paul: They have all types and brands of bino's and phones you can attach them on... The designer uses allot of Vortex Optics, and that is reason I went with the phoneskope brand. When it comes in, I hope to post some pics...

I bought a pair of Viper 8x32's from Paul and I would be interested in the Vortex digi adapter for that set of Bino's. Also wondering what Bino mount that is on your tripod.
