    Default Cell phone (s) as a spotting scope?

    Anyone have advice on how to best use a cell phone as a spotting scope. Seems some guys use two Apple phones with FaceTime to see targets out 300 yards distance. Other than not putting the cell phone at risk of being shot or hit by flying debris what you guys think of this concept?

    All they are doing is initiating a face time call and then leaving the one phone up close aimed at the target.

    Just get a spotting scope or a good pair of nocs..

    Get a spotting scope and they make adapters for your phone to just look through it and display on the cameras screen. They work ok.

    I use a Phoneskope with my spotting scope and it is a slick setup. Combination of the zoom on the spotting scope and the digital zoom on the phone extends the usefulness of the spotting scope. Also nice just being able to look at the screen to see where you are hitting. Photos and videos are also very easy to take.

    Simple. All you need is two iPhones. One for yourself and one for this guy. He can call or text you to let you know where the shots hit.
