    SHOT Show 2018: PhoneSkope

    PhoneSkope is a mounting system that allows you to capture photos or video through your scope without impeding your view. The system is modular and all of the parts can be had for around $200 US.

    I can't really tell how it works from photos, is there any impact on your view through the scope (extra lens in the way or anything)? Really neat looking device! Perhaps not well suited to large calibers and short eye relief optics, though?

    The biggest issue will be light loss. Some light goes to the camer and some to the user. Either way the image will be less bright/vivid compared to the scope only. This works on a system similar to a teleprompter.

    You truly don't know happiness until you have to unload your ammo delivery with a forklift ☺

    are there any diagram's on how the image gets to the phone's camera?

    I'm into telescopes, so I'm familiar with odd optical paths...
    power corrupts, but absolute power is kinda cool!

    So if scopes have to be designed to take the recoil of the rifle, how do cell phones hold up?

    I use there spotting scope adaptor and it works well, but I’m not sure how well this would work on focusing on the crosshairs and your target at the same time.
