Thread: Phone scope adapters for spotting scope

What are people running ? best options that work well, are small & compact?

Magview.
Doubles as an awesome lense cap too.

Made one up for spotting scope flat polycarbonate sheet and inlet some magnets and iPhone just attaches, turned up plastic tube to fit push on vortex scope and works just fine magnets were out of old iPhone case. All parts were knocking around in shed so didn’t have to buy anything. hole in middle just to push phone off of magnets.

I just brought got an Epoch Outdoors Mountain Mag from the US to replace my phoneskope one. Awesome setup and you don’t need a specific phone case

Having read @RabbitStu post thought I’d try making up my own phone scope adapter. Had a play around finding some tube that’s the right size or close to the objective on Vortex HD spotter. Turns out pvc water pipe comes in 56mm OD, very close to 56.5mm objective. And the joint for the pvc pipe after a bit of reaming with the dremel gives a nice snug fit. Attach a section to some pvc flat cut from guttering joiner and glue magnet on the back. Job done.
Cost me all of $50




Stags on neighbouring farm at ~1km

Good job chainsaw always good to have a go, luckily I had bits and pieces knocking around I think the tube was wife’s hand cream jar ha,
A spare bit of polycarbonate 5mm thick sheet a few holes and a bit of glue and works just like a bought one.
Mine was for my bird spotting daughter with what looks like the same vortex spotting scope.
You could always make a reducing ring adapter for fitting to gun scope.
