    Re: light loss. In daylight, your pupils will open to accommodate significant light loss. In using a 50/50 mirror(I'll make this assumption), its only 50%, or the photographic equivalent of one f-stop. Since our eyes can handle 10-12 "stops" of light, on any given sunny or overcast day, there's more than enough light to still use your scope with this unit attached. Seems like a bit of hardware to set up & mess with, but an interesting solution for capturing that through the glass look.

    Thanks for bringing us this great coverage of SS 2018!!

    Ah, ok. So you're still shooting through the scope, this just become a recording tool for training and the range. K, I can see some value in that.

    Trying to explain holding pattern is one thing, showing it is another. Same with recoil management.

    Any dealers place orders for these units while they were down there?

    Looks like it won't work with a bolt action... Or can it be switched to different sides?

    PhoneSkope works great on a spotting scope or binos, I have used it quite a bit and it is really nice. I haven't seen this unit yet, but I would bet it is decent quality and well thought out.
