Digiscope Options

I just ordered and received Kapture. Not super impressed, as of yet. And it was expensive!
The big draw for me was using more than 1 lense, to get more zoom out of the camera while on the scope.
Doesn’t seem like that gets talked about much, but the benefit of being able to use all 3 cameras on a system like Magview is huge, in my opinion. Zoom in and out, to find the clearest picture.
So with Kapture, from initial set up and messing around, I can only get it to use 1 of my lenses and that one will only go to 4.9x zoom, then anything above that is black. Yea you can line it up and lock it on another lense, but I see nothing but black on the other lenses, at any zoom setting.
Maybe someone with more knowledge of the Kapture system can help me, before I return it or sell it. If I “lock it” on one camera, I’m still
only getting limited zoom, right?
As of now leaning toward going back to Magview, strictly for the use of all lenses on the scope. The classic problems people refer to about lining up and magnetic chargers, don’t bother me.
I’ve tried Ollin too, but being limited to one camera all the time, while on scope and off, doesn’t do it for me.
Anyway, it’s the age old current debate. Different strokes for different folks and different applications. But I’m not sure I’m buying all the hype on Kapture.

Did you download their app? I know I struggled with it with my regular phone camera app. Their app gets rid of the hassle of having to lock the lense.

Ollin is a slick system but my complaint is that it covers the flashlight on my phone so I can’t use it with the case on. Would have been pretty straight forward to leave a hole where the light is but they didn’t, and for that reason, I’m out.

Drill a hole for your flashlight. Works great. I drilled holes for my light and other lense. Not the prettiest case, but by far the easiest system.

Just downloaded the app and will give that a try. Thanks!

Same experience here with Kapture.

I’m gonna try the app too.
