Lastly is the phone case. Never before has there been a digiscoping phone case this low profile. As thin and sleek as it is, it doesn’t give up any functionality. The part that holds your phone is the same size as any low-profile case you’d buy at the store.

Ollin solved some pretty big issues in digiscoping with a few simple features. Perfect Alignment (Photo/Josh Kirchner)Excellent easy to use adapterI’ve tried other adapters and found them to be a real fiddle to use. This one is great, very easy to fit and adjust. (13/07/2019) Graham - Newcastle under Lyme Came top of my list!Bought as a present for Christmas, so it hasn't been used yet. However I did do some research on these items as I was a little apprehensive about buying one. This one came out too of my list. I have tried attaching my phone to it and it seems to fit very well. It's sturdy, not cheap and thin plastic (23/11/2020) Karen - Devon Key specs – Optics: 10x magnification, 25mm objective lens, multi-coated lenses; Field of view: 5.5°; Exit pupil: 2.5mm; Eye relief: 13mm; Close focus: 5m; Weatherproofing: Nitrogen purged, waterproof, fog-proof; Accessories provided: Soft case, lens covers, wrist strap; Length: 10.5cm; Weight: 147g Not another Smartphone gadget I hear you say!Yes, a good adapter to attach to your telescope, for taking photographs, or even going "Live" on social media. Easy to setup but as it needs to be close to the eyepiece on a SCT, the bottom of the adapter actually touches the telescope focus knob. Just attach an extender tube to eyepiece and OK.

Scope's helpline provides free, independent and impartial advice and support on issues that matter to disabled people and their families.What is a Phone Skope, exactly? The Phone Skope is an adapter system consisting of a smart phone case ( pictured above) and a complementary optic adapter ring (pictured below) that perfectly align a smart phone’s camera with the eye piece (ocular lens) of a variety of optics, most commonly a spotting scope or binoculars. Put more simply: Smartphone + Spotting Scope + Phone Skope = Digiscope. Wait, what’s a digiscope? Digiscoping is the practice of taking digital photos or videos through a spotting scope or other optic device. Very good piece of kitWorks very well. Straightforward to set up. Used to attach a spare mobile phone to a binocular microscope allowing children to view images. Good value and fast delivery. (14/11/2021) Chris McC - Hertfordshire One of the most frustrating things about previous digiscoping systems was getting the proper alignment from your phone to the optic. There was always some tweaking that took valuable time away from getting great footage.

We found the focus dial easier to work with than the central focusing ring on the Opticron. It’s quite a heavy monocular; but it’s durable, affordable and good for everything from birdwatching to hiking to some light stargazing from your garden.

Great little gizmoJust the job for taking photos with your smartphone. I've used it on my telescope and binoculars with great results so far.

The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device. Even larger “phablets” like the iPhone 8 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices work perfectly. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier devices with ease. In short, the system completely failed and left Nathan with subpar footage of a once-in-a-lifetime ram. He wanted something faster and more efficient to take advantage of these special moments. His answer is Ollin. (Photo/Josh Kirchner) Universal phone scope attachments from Phone Skope work well if you plan to use multiple phones or optics. The Universal phone adapter, also known as the “Lollipop,” allows you to fit various sized phones and adjust the adapter plate to different camera locations. It will also accommodate most phones in protective cases, even the larger phones like iPhone Xs Max, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus and also the larger Android smartphones on the market. Up until now, digiscoping setups have been good, but not excellent. Most systems were better than holding your phone to the optics, but there was a lot of room for improvement. They typically have these awkward, oversized cases for your phone, they’re hard to connect and disconnect from your optics, and they never seem to seamlessly line up with your glass.
