Works great, have the universal one. however the clamp is pretty rugged and large, and the clamp can cut stitching on your phone case. It also takes a bit of twisting to attach. So not a really quick on/off thing, but once it is on, very handy for hooking up your phone to your optics. Between the optics magnification, and the phone camera zoom, can get some very long distance images.

I had the universal and while it worked, no comparison to the size specific options available. They are good rigs and I won’t be without.

Don't buy a phoneskope, they are way to much. I bought a universal off of wish.com for $14.00, works well.

These pictures were taken at 500+ yards with phonescope or I believe it is called Iscope and my vortex spotting scope.

So you bought a knock off of the same thing, and say it works well? Sounds like its a positive review for the product. Whether you support the producing company, or pay some other guy for a counterfeit is your own decision.

Definitely worth it. Here’s a few pics I’ve taken from various ranges.

I have an iphone 8 with otterbox protection and otterbox clip on carry case. I bought a pvc pipe cap, drill a one inch hole in it and reamed out the cap to fit my leupold gold ring scope. I then drilled the otterbox case out one inch hole, matching up to my phone camera lense. I then glued the pipe cap to the otterbox case with jb weld. $1.28 total cost.... and a little bit of time.. This is my second one, first was for my iphone 4 Both work incredibly well.

Super easy to use. Use the self timer mode on the phone/camera to give the spotter a chance to settle down before it takes the picture is about the only real tip to using them.

Sorry, can't help you there. Mine was a gift, just had to order the right adaptor for my spotter online.

I ordered my Iscope online. I’ve had it for likely 6 years or more now.

No I didnt buy a knock off, I bought a product that does the same thing as a phoneskope, but it is different,for less than 10% of the phoneskope cost.
Thanks for your concern Nancy drew
All that noname product at your local store must give you moral dilemmas.

Work great. Only downfall I have experienced is that my spotter focuses on the eyepiece where the phonescope attaches. Makes it rather difficult.

These were taken with my iPhone 5 and phoneskope. I really like it and bought the new adapter for my new phone. These pics are from 2015 from my vortex razor.
