If I use a typical spotting scope for about 10 minutes I go blind. My eyes start watering and I can't see a thing. What I would like to see is a spotting scope with a color lcd display instead of an eyepiece. Does anyone know who makes something similar?

Have you tried a digiscoping attachment like a Phoneskope? Your phone becomes a screen that more than one individual can look at simultaneously. Could fill the bill for you.

Phonoscope? That sounds cool! Are you able to choose from useful optics for long range?

Phoneskope is just one company that makes a digiscoping attachment that holds your phone to a spotting scope. There are several out there. I don't take great pictures, but like the "screen" when there have been four of us and one spotting scope... it eliminates the, "Mind if I take a look?"

I was just thinking the other day why no one has invented a wearable for spotting. The technology is there, just need a tech to put it together.
