Beyond the Hunt: Digiscoping Subjects You Never Thought Of

Digiscoping has taken the hunting world by storm. Every year more hunters are using digiscoping products like MAGVIEW® to capture stunning images and video in the field. While it excels at that, the power of connecting your smartphone to your optics opens up a universe of photographic and observational possibilities you might never have considered. With the convenience and ease of use offered by MAGVIEW digiscoping adapters, you can effortlessly explore a world beyond hunting. Let’s dive into some unconventional and exciting ways to use your digiscoping gear.

Begin Your Birdwatching Experience

Birdwatching is a beloved pastime for many, and digiscoping adds a thrilling dimension to it. Imagine capturing crisp, detailed photos and videos of those elusive warblers in the canopy or the intricate plumage of a soaring raptor – all with the familiar interface of your smartphone camera. MAGVIEW’s magnetic attachment system makes it a breeze to switch between observing with your spotting scope or binoculars and capturing that perfect shot. Forget difficult and cumbersome adapters; MAGVIEW lets you focus on the beauty of the birds.

Reach for the Stars: Stargazing with MAGVIEW

Did you know your spotting scope or even a good pair of binoculars can be a gateway to amateur astronomy? By attaching your smartphone with a stable and secure MAGVIEW adapter, you can capture surprisingly detailed images of the moon, planets, and even bright nebulae. While it won’t replace a dedicated astrophotography setup or a telescope, digiscoping offers an accessible and fun way to document your celestial observations and share the wonders of the night sky. If you do have a telescope, you may want to measure the eyepiece to see if there is a compatible MAGVIEW adapter.

The Power of Observation: Long-Range Surveillance and More

Beyond nature and the cosmos, digiscoping can be incredibly useful for various forms of long-range observation. Whether you’re a researcher monitoring animal behavior from a distance without disturbing them, a security professional needing discreet visual documentation, Military, Police or Conservation Officer, MAGVIEW equipped optics provide a powerful and portable solution. The clarity and magnification offered by your scope combined with your smartphone’s recording capabilities can capture details invisible to the naked eye. The MAGVIEW S1 is purpose built for high power spotting scopes, perfect for long range surveillance.

Beyond the Bleachers: Digiscoping Sporting Events

If you have ever had or been a child on a traveling sports team, you understand how difficult it can be at times for friends and family to watch the game. With the rise of streaming apps, sharing live sporting events has never been easier. A cell phone mounted to a tripod is good enough if you are sitting close to the field or court, but what if you are in the bleachers or stands? Some low power binoculars may be just the ticket. Pair those binoculars with a good tripod and a MAGVIEW B1 and you are suddenly up close to the action.

Why Choose MAGVIEW?

For anyone who’s ever tried to capture that perfect shot through a spotting scope or a pair of binoculars, you know the struggle is real. The flimsy clamps, the endless adjustments, and the frustration of missing the moment because your gear just wouldn’t cooperate, it’s enough to make you give up. That’s why the MAGVIEW digiscoping system was designed to be the most streamlined and convenient system on the market. The secret to success lies in our magnetic mounting system. No special phone cases are needed, just use a MAGVIEW adaptor and plate and you are digiscoping. Designed and manufactured in the U.S.A, build quality is top-notch. If you want to spend less time messing with your gear and more time capturing incredible memories, MAGVIEW is for you.
