The tinesup has been great. I bought a cheap case from amazon and just attached the tab to it. I just put that case on my phone when I go to the mountains. The tab barely sticks off and is hardly noticeable at all. In fact, I’ve ended up just leaving that case on my phone most of the last month since the season started and don’t notice it.
I really like how easy it is to switch from any scope to any Bino in just a couple seconds. It’s really easy to use and extremely quick. It also has a much better hold on the eyepiece than phoneskope products do. I haven’t used the novagrade, but I can’t see it getting much better than the tinesup. The only advantage the novagrade could have in my opinion is that you would never have to buy anything else once you have the adapter and accessories.
The tinesup does have the advantage over the novagrade in that you never have to align it with the scope or other optic. It automatically aligns itself perfect every time. No extra rings to change or carry with you either to switch between a spotting scope and Bino.
