Magview vs ollin

[robby denning]

Any issues with the Ollin, or either losing its ability to use GPS direction pointing features with the magnetic case adapter options?

I have not noticed any issues. Remember, the magnet is on the optic for the MagView, not on the phone case. Since I’m not using the compass and the optic at the same time, it has not been an issue.

I have the Kapture digiscoping setup enroute and will try to get a review posted once I’ve spent some time with it. This seems like a new and innovative system that is worth a look.

Been waiting for your review on the Kapture but was interested if you could share any of your initial impressions on the setup so far.

Magview so far for me. I dont like the fact the Ollin blocks a lot of the lenses on my phone. Magview is much slimmer too.

He's an eye surgeon so I'm not sure I can speak for his time. If you know anyone who 3D prints he might be willing to share the file with them.

We would love to have the file!

Don’t have either but know people who do and everyone says go with ollin.

It does affect mine - iphone 12. My buddy’s iPhone 15 no issues.

Been using the MV for a few months. I “think” I like it. I have your standard Galaxy phone, and it seems to want to slide off the binos once set, almost like the magnet isn’t strong enough.

Don't know if it’s the weight of the phone or what. It’s no heavier than any other phone on the market. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

I’ve used the MagView for a year now. It’s functional but I’m going to get an Olin setup soon. My biggest complaint is the light that comes around the eyepiece. Makes getting good shots difficult in many light conditions. I’m fairly good at aligning the camera and scope but I am looking forward to that process being more automatic.

I have a rule of never supporting Utah based hunting companies but I broke that rule for the Ollin. if there’s another comparable one I would buy it in a heartbeat, but I haven’t seen it!
