Review: Novagrade Ranger App (and giveaway), by Les Welch

[bbell]

I will put my name in the hat. I have an October muzzy hunt here in Oregon and it would be awesome for that! It's my last big hunt for three years while my family and I go overseas to do m!nistry work. I run a iPhone 5s in a otterbox with Swarovski 10x42slc hd. Will also be using my buddies vanguard 82hd spotter.
Thanks for doing these draws! Pretty cool the opportunity to do these.

Anyone interested in the Kowa TSN-553 you can follow me as I start knocking out hunts with it.

Finally got to really play with this a few days ago on a mtn goat hunt for my buddy. I really like how secure and easy it attached to my spotter.

Hey elkeater, looks good. Are you able to eliminate the vignette if you wanted to?

Only way I could do it was use the magnification on my phone. My understanding is it would degrade the photo, so i didn't post those up.

Here is one I did do that too. The photos don't do the glass credit. The kowa tsn 553 is damn good glass. I had a pair of swaro 12x 50 EL and they were both outstanding.

OK Roksliders, time for our September member selection, and the last one in this series. Long-time and faithful member....

let's see how the NG goes with the Brunton & Swaro spotters and the Hawke & Swaro binos. Should really stretch the adaptability of the Novagrade system.

Get me an email coming at [email protected], and I'll hook you up with Doug. Can't wait to see your photos on here.

Elkeater and SLDMTN, if you get anymore good photos, keep them coming.

Email sent Robby. Thanks again for giving me a chance to put the Novagrade system through its paces.

Got my buddy his first bear yesterday.

The Novagrade has been awesome. Now that I have more time with it. It's a snap setting up and rock solid on my spotter.

Hope to have some worthy pics up in the next few days. Solid piece of gear, surprised at how easy it was to mount my phone in it. Excited to put it to use.

First time out with the setup. Hopefully it's my lucky charm!

Only shot I was able to get before a 2 day storm kick our butts.

I know all about storms ruining glassing sessions. I was able to get my buddy on his first elk ever though, so that made the whole trip for me. Deer were extremely scarce in 66A Robby. Saw maybe 4 shooter bucks in almost 3 weeks in the unit. Hope to get way more time on the setup next week. Trying not to be a testing slacker.

Finally got a decent session in, it's been one thing after another. Phones crashing, scope issues, but at least I'm able to put it all together for some pics. The adapter hasn't skipped a beat, just wish the rest of my gear would hold up that well.

Most of those pics were a mile plus, still trying to get the camera settings right on my new phone

Which glass were those taken with, Swaro, Hawke, or Brunton? That top pic is really clear and sharp

Those are all through the Brunton. I'm having some eyepiece issues at the moment so I'm using it as a fixed 30X
