the only reason i ask is i usually use my spotting scope at or near my ride,, when i go hiking, i will only bring my swaro 15x56's lot's of time as. is it a waste of time to try to digiscope with bino's? don't want to spend the money on an adaptor if it's not worth it. thanks.

i actually just got an iphone 15 pro, so still trying to figure out which system to use now,, probably either use magview or Ollin.

NOTE: If you're thinking about using the MagView system, know that when you put their plate thing on the back of your phone.. you WON'T be able to then make use of a fast-charge Qi (pronounced "Chee") charger anymore.

I use a Scope Cam Adapter on my Leica 15x56s. I specifically bought the little bit heavier/bigger Score Cam for the versatility and not needing different adapters. Either my oldest son, or I, can use it on 10s, 15s or a Swarovski spotter.

I bought a $5 hard plastic case and added the magnet to it. Just switch it out before I got hunting.

I have the ScopeCam adapter with the mag plate and really like it. Adjustable to just about any eyepiece.

That is the one that I use also and it works good. Some have trouble using with the magnetic charging station, but mine will charge no problem.

I bought a cheap silicone phone case on Amazon for $11 and stuck the Magview metal plate to the back of the case. When I want use the phone on my spotter I put my phone in the case w the plate. Works great. If I'm not hunting I take the phone out of that case and put it into one without the metal plate.
