Been using a Razor HD 20-60 x 85mm for awhile now and wanting to get a digiscoping setup. Seems like there are a few changes to the various models since I last looked 4-5 years ago. What setups are y'all running and what do you like / dislike?

For context, I spend anywhere from 15-30 days throughout the summer scouting. Once the season(s) roll around, I probably spend another 30-45 days actually hunting various tags (sometimes just mornings before work, or evenings afterwards). I plan to get a lot of use out of this product and want to ensure it'll hold up over the years while also being easy to configure and use, etc.

Saw good conversations with some pro / con lists here and here. Lots of people seem to run Ollin but complain about having to spend for another case when they upgrade phones - not an issue for me, I had an iPhone 10 until recently upgrading to the 16, I keep stuff for a long time and take care of it. For this reason I'm leaning towards the Ollin. Seeing people complain about alignment issues with the MagView. I just don't have any experience digiscoping so I'm not sure what to look out for between models. Also, none of my buddies have ever had a system for me to get my hands on.
 
Mountain Mag from Epoch Outdoors - love it
 
Used both Ollin & MagView and i prefer the MagView. I also keep phones for a long time, so the upgrading phone case isn't a huge negative for me. The main negative is that my spotter is in my truck and get used periodically 12 months out of the year and having the Ollin phone case on my phone year-round is just not an option. But the MagView plate is unnoticeable and is ready to be attached to spotter whenever needed. Also like to note that there is a learning curve to getting proper alignment with the MagView but after a while is a non-issue.
