    Ive used Phoneskope for years, but this year changed to MagView. Is really simple, fast to set up and use, plus don't need a phone specific case.

    Pretty keen on one of these magviews, they look ideal as can use them with most phone cases, and not spending big money each time u change phones, just a new magnet. Where is the best place to buy one? Cant find anywhere that ships to NZ.

    So with the mag view do you have a permanent magnet attached to phone? And that means wireless charging won’t work?

    And does the unit stay on the spotting scope and double as lens protector? Can you use the spotting scope normally with the magview thing attached?

    I have it permanently stuck to my Ottobox case

    It won't wirelessly charge when attached to the phone

    The unit stays permanently attached to the eyepiece, which protects it too

    Yes you can use it normally, that was a deal breaker for me

    Best idea there I would say.

    They had a big boxing day sale, 25% discount i think it was. Bought direct and had 2 sent to my brother in law who was travelling in the states.

    Message them on Social media/Email. Ollin Company https://ollin.co/ is another to check out. Their one the magnets are index so aligns perfectly each time. Ollin whilst the website says wont ship internationally will if you email them.

    I have msg magview and they will not ship to NZ which is a shame as i can see them taking off over here. Also the ollin looks good i just don't like the fact u need pacific case for phone and also spotting scope, if u change out either you need a new set up again. Also Magview now do a magnet that allows wireless charging. Another one that looks the good is the phone scope adapter, they just realeased a magnetic version.
