Here is how the new set-up sits/looks on my spotter.
Right about $200.00 to my door, so a lil' more pricey than the Phone Skope stye stuff out there.
Simmons Sporting Goods outta Bastrop, La did a super service for me. Via my A-Prime order, Thanks!
I like it so much that I also got the Bino option.
I'll do more on it/the Bino in the morning.
Good luck, Robb
First off, I wish I'd stop getting ads for the damn thing now that I clicked on and bought it. You don't need to advertise to me anymore...I bought the damn thing a year ago. Sometimes I wonder if they've eaten up all their profit on Youtube ads since I bought it.
I bought a separate case for my phone to adhere the magnets to, because I didn't want to drag around the magnets 12 months per year. So I use the case with the magnet on it just during hunting season and switch them out.
As far as in the field, my main gripe is that it appears that you can just go quickly from looking through your scope to deploying your phone to your scope and taking pictures and that's not been the case for me.
The problem is that, if you have, say, a sheep that's a mile or two away and you've zoomed in to get a better look at it, I've not been able to just slap my phone on and take a picture.
It's not super easy to get the camara lined up perfectly and by the time you do, you're going to be looking at a different spot than the sheep was, which requires you to completely refind your animal, which, at max zoom with a phone attached to your optic is not easy.
It's definitely doable and if you have all the time in the world, it's not too big of a deal to get photos. But if you want to quickly get a photo before moving or initiating a stalk of what you're looking at, forget it. Or if you want to switch back and forth repeatedly between looking through the scope with and without the phone attached, it starts to become a PITA.
It definitely works, but it's not as fast as the commercial would have you believe.
The problem I have with magview is my phone is big, and has a giant heavy battery. The phone is to heavy for the magnet, and continually slides off.
If you have an inferior light weight iphone, it might work fine.
Anyone used Ollin with a samsung ultra, with a real battery, great display, and camera?
Like anything else ya get new and start using it, the more ya use it the easier/better it becomes.
Matt, I haven't tried that charge option yet.
Pretty much the same shipping box ect
Good luck, Robb
I'm very happy with both set-ups.
I went from Phone-skope style to this Magview so I really don't have any experience with any other brand types........sorry.
The bino install is on the same link above in this thread.
Good luck, Robb
2 days and it was here.
