Phone Adapter for Kowa TSN-553

[YaakRiver]

I've got a Phone Skope adapter for my Kowa TSN-553 but it is finicky to use (can't see complete sight ring without having to constantly adjust it). I was wondering if anyone had tried an adapter from one of the other companies? I did try a magview but it didn't work and when I contacted them, they confirmed they don't have an adapter that will work. I'd rather not order more without knowing that it will fit well. Any advice?

I have a kapture gear on my leicas and I really like that system it cost more but it’s pretty quick with 0 fiddling around

Thanks! Looks like a great option for the Kowa TSN series.

Take a look at the Carson HOOKUPZ™ 2.0

I went with the Scopecam adapter for my Kowa 554. It works good and is fully adjustable if I want to switch optics.

Fully universal, the MAG-2 or Fixed Position Mag Plate Kit works on all phone models. The fixed position mag plate was designed to keep your everyday case on your phone all the time and still use our universal optic adapter (uni-2), no need to change cases when you are ready to digiscope. Always...

Ollin is my preference. Lots of good reviews out there.

I'm using the On Glass adapter on my 553. Works great.

I've ordered a Kapture Gear system and will give a report when it shows up. Thanks for the help.

Just got the Mountain Mag for mine and it’s phenomenal. Magview S1 didn’t work well at all.

Update: I ordered the complete kit from Kapture. At their recommendation, I purchased the Kowa TSN Integrated Mount but mine is an older TWN-553 (which I did tell them) and it doesn't fit. So I'm in the process of returning that mount and have ordered the size 4 ring mount.

Sorry for the delay - I used the Kapture system during this past spring bear season. What specific questions do guys have on it? Basic review - works great. Nice and durable. Very precise. The drawbacks: the ring mount sticks out beyond the spotter eye cup which can cause scratching when people wear glasses while looking through the spotter. The other drawback (for me at least) is that there is a mounting piece between the phone case and the ring mount --- I have a tendency to lose things like that.
