daryl_s Report post Posted January 24, 2023 Serious question, not trying to stir the pot. Is the Ollin system that much better than phoneskope to justify twice the cost? The question is meant for those that have used both in the field. I’ve used the phoneskope system for a few years now and I have no complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve used the phoneskope system for a few years now and I have no complaints. I’ve used the phone skope as well. I’ve had decent success with it but from what I’ve seen from friends on social media it is night and day faster. Magnets grab right at the sweet spot so you’re filming in 2 seconds compared to 15-30 seconds with the phone skope. This time is crucial especially for getting shots on film. I do agree though it is a pricey piece and I would like to hear some feedback from others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Report post Posted January 24, 2023 I got the Magview for my spotter a few weeks ago. It is pricey but well worth it to me. So fast and easy and no bulky phone case. I enjoy digescoping now instead of getting frustrated. My problem has always been I have had hand me down phones or now the cheapest smart phone t-moble has. I could not find phonescope cases for any of my phones. If I still had the BTX I would defiantly be getting the Ollin. It's crazy how expensive stuff is now days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of them have been super tight fitting and the field of view always gets moved installing the unit. This has happened on my Leica 62, Swarovski sts 80, and BTX. They recommend that you sand down the rings using fine grit sandpaper for better fit. I’m done screwing with them and switching to the Ollin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
