    and it cant take immages.So all in all a spotting scope is not an option for me anymore.
    I‘m definately looking into a new camera.
    Not trying to change your mind, but in my situation I'm already carrying a spotter and phone.
    Magview adaptor is $400, or less if sourced offshore.
    An extra six or so hundred grams for a camera doesn't make sense to me. Especially with the quality of most phone cameras now.
    One really good feature of the Mag view is it is a very good lense cover. Way better than the crappy little rubber cup that comes with the spotter.
    Overkill is still dead.
