I recently bought the Ollin scope thinking I could use it for the 14-52 NLs and the 16 pro Max iPhone. While it does work, it doesn’t take advantage of the 5x optical zoom lens. They did offer an option to use a sticky mount to a phone case but I’m thinking I might as well get a mag view at the at point if doing it myself.

The last iPhone 12 Pro I had with the phone skope had an adjustable sliding feature to use the optical zoom lens. It was clunky and not the best, but still had it’s benefits.

Has anyone found a good digiscoping setup yet to take advantage of both the 1x lens and the 5x lens of the new iPhone 16 pro Max?

I've used the MagView for 3 full seasons on the 14. I can slide it around and access the 2nd lens (the micro lens) without too much trouble. But don't buy on my experience, we need to hear from a 16 user.

@Tony Trietch did you ever put yours on an iPhone 16?
