Are you ready to unlock the hidden potential of your spotting scope and capture breathtaking photos and videos with your smartphone? Digiscoping opens up a world of incredible detail, bringing distant subjects into stunning clarity right on your phone screen. To truly harness this power, you need the right digiscoping adapter for your optic.
Choosing the right adapter might seem daunting, but don’t worry! This guide will walk you through the key considerations, and we’ll even introduce you to our latest evolution of our popular MAGVIEW® S1 and S1 Mini adapters using SYNC™ self-aligning technology.
The Key to a Perfect Fit: Measuring Your Spotting Scope Eyepiece
The most crucial step in choosing the right phone adapter is knowing the outer diameter of your spotting scope eyepiece. Some optics manufacturers will list dimensions of the ocular (eyepiece side) and objective (the large lens at the front) in mm. It is important to note that these dimensions are often the lens size itself, not the outside diameter. To be on the safe side, measuring the outside diameter of the eyepiece will ensure the proper fit. Here’s how to do it accurately:
- Identify the eyepiece: This is the part of your spotting scope you look through.
- Use calipers (recommended): The most accurate way to measure is with a pair of calipers. Gently place the jaws of the calipers around the outer diameter of the eyepiece and note the measurement in millimeters (mm).
- Use a ruler or measuring tape (alternative): If you don’t have calipers, you can use a ruler or flexible measuring tape. Carefully wrap the tape around the circumference of the eyepiece and then divide that measurement by pi (approximately 3.14159) to get the diameter. Be as precise as possible. Or using a ruler, measure the diameter. This method is not as accurate but we list fitment sizes in both inches and millimeter so you can get the closest fit.
- When in doubt, use the MAGVIEW fit chart: MAGVIEW makes things easy by using this fitment chart. Simply find your optic make and model and select which digiscoping adapter is listed.
