About to buy outdoorsmans digiscope setup. Any thoughts for/against?

[TheCougar]

I’m about to pull the trigger on the outdoorsmans digiscope setup. I’m only using my iPhone for digiscoping. I’ve considered Novagrade, Phoneskope, and outdoorsmans. I’ve read positive and negative reviews from the novagrade and phoneskope (heavy/bulky/expensive ($149+$23 for small rings for binos) and cheap/flimsy/vignette, respectively). I’ve settled on the outdoorsmans because there don’t seem to be any downsides to it... any thoughts or strong feelings on it? I have zero experience here.

I like mine and have adaptors for both my binos and spotting scope. I have also gotten a new phone since I bought it, new piece of double stick tape not he new case and your good to go.

If I understand correctly, you have a dedicated iPhone for digiscoping? If so, I don't really see any negatives to the Outdoosmans. The threading is fine, so be sure not to cross-thread.

Nope, no dedicated iPhone. I’ll just use my iPhone with a cheapo case with the attachment on it for hunting.

Anyone know what the outdoorsmans stuff weights for the adaptor and a couple of rings?

Hmmm I'm not sure weight wise but there's hardly anything to them. Not as heavy as the tines up adapter in my experience. I really like my outdoorsmans.

How does the Outdoorsman's attach to the phone case? Do you use your own case? Can it be removed easily when you are not wanting to use the it?

I have always used PhoneSkope, but their case for my new phone (MOTO Z 2 Play) just doesnt cut it for me. So I guess I am looking at options.

Thanks

It attaches to the case via double stick tape. I would suggest a 2nd case vs having the mount attached to your phone everyday.

^ that’s what I planned on doing.
