Can anyone suggest a BC dealer to buy phone skope products?
Their website shows Wholesale Sports as the dealer.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I don’t think Cabelas carries that brand. I looked as I have a different phone and just need to update that part of the two piece system (one specific for the phone and one for the specific spotter)

Don't think they have a BC Dealer. Everyone I know just has to deal with the online store.

I have this one, and previously had the phone skope for my old phone

I like the carson because you can leave the phone in the case, and it fits pretty much any phone case out there, but because the adapter is so adjustable it does take a few seconds longer to get the camera dialed in

the phone skope gets on target faster, but at the time I didn't like having my phone unprotected....but it seems they have fixed that now, so if you use certain models of otterbox or lifeproof cases they have have made adapters that fit them now

something to consider before you order

I believe Phoneskope is manufacturer direct these days

Nifty looking device. Not much more than a clamp at the end of the day. I captured these shots by merely holding the phone (Samsung S8 ) over my spotting scope by hand. Kind of did it as a lark & was surprised how well it worked. Spotting scope is a cheapy to boot. The moose were a good 300 yards away at the edge of a lake.

This photo gives an idea of the actual distance to the lake. Bull, cow & calf are mere specks with no magnification or zoom.

Bought mine from the phone scope website. I have an iPhone with a lifeproof case and bought the matching phone scope. I’m unimpressed with how finicky it is. With my model the phone camera is not easily centered in my spotters eyepiece.

Phoneskope / iPhone / Vortex Razor spotter / 150y distance

The bluetooth shutter is wicked

All the close up individual ram shots in this video are done with a Phoneskope. If you look close at the right side corners at the 12 second mark you can see the edge as I didn't have it positioned correctly.

A tactic I use almost exclusively now is to only shoot video with it and then pull screenshots. You gain a bit of magnification over picture mode and you can scrub the video so accurately to get the exact frame you want before taking a screenshot. Almost all the newer phones shoot video in 4k nowadays so the quality is top notch. Also saves you buying/carrying the Bluetooth adapter.
