Digiscoping
SHOP(Verb)
The practice of using a smartphone camera to take photographs of wildlife, celestial objects, and distant scenery through the eyepiece of a spotting scope, telescope, or other optic. Combining the optical precision of scopes and the digital power of modern phone cameras, digiscoping brings distant subjects into detailed, breathtaking focus.

from 117 reviewsI have tried a few digi scope and aLot make your phone bulky or just a huge pain. I don't notice the little magnet on the back but got amazing video of elk fighting this fall!
using a iPhone 16 Plus on a vortex razor spotting scope. Works great. There was a small issue with the shipping of the order. The company made it right. No complaints.
Like this system probably the best of all of them. You can use your own phone case, and the magnet is small and not heavy. It lines up well on my spotter, every time. I do wish they had a more robust cover for the ocular when the adapter is left on.
I had used another popular scope adapter for six years. It was cumbersome to get the phone on and aligned correctly each use. I missed so many photo/video opportunities fumbling around with it and never enjoyed using it.
The On Glass system is a total game changer. Installing the magtab was a simple process and from then on the alignment when using the adapter has been perfect. I like that the phone remains fully functional without blocked lenses and maintains a slim profile to fit in my pocket/bino case. Additionally, when the adapter is on the scope, it does not obstruct viewing.
I have gone from being hesitant to take pictures with my old scope adapter to enjoying taking pictures after upgrading to the On Glass system!
The adapter works great and is very slim and easy to use it is by far the best one I have used. I also really like that you can switch between a bino and spotting scope really easy
I purchased the kit with all pieces and so far am very pleased with the simplicity of use. The customer service response has been great. I have tried a couple of the "cheap" options before and had friends using the competitors. So far in the limited use I've had, I've been happy enough to order a second mount for my second phone and a spacer to try on my binoculars as well.
I’ve ended up with three different size adapters for my different optics and every one has been a great fit.
I ended up getting a cheap phone case to attach the part on the phone because I have an older iPhone and it’s worked perfectly.
The website has great instructional videos on setup which is a bonus.
I will suggest getting a Bluetooth shutter trigger for your phone, I had one from an old system I had bought years ago that works great that way you don’t have to touch the phone at all to take a picture. That might be something for the folks at On Glass to come up with.
The nice thing about this system is it fits any phone as not all do and the way we people upgrade our phones all the time and they seem to change camera locations and cords just enough to make you buy more stuff this works on everything.
Follow the instructions and it is easy to capture great photos or videos!!
I almost titled this "I'm Blown Away" because I'm so impressed, but that sounded a little over-the-top, because my head didn't actually explode.
It came close though.
I have generally disliked spotting scopes because of the bulk and weight of packing them into the mountains, and I've never been a "What's it going to score?" guy.
They're great for short hikes or from the dirt road, but I just preferred high-power binos for intense glassing.
Then, I recently drew a couple of tags that were worthy of really close scrutiny for trophy potential -- I'm old, so lots of preference points.
Anyway, I spent a TON of time in the scope for those hunts and finally admitted that a digiscope setup could be more than just a gadget, but could actually be a great tool.
I had stayed away from the digiscoping because of all the gadgetry and the bulk, and proprietary cases, and price etc. — then I saw this On Glass set-up and thought - what the heck, let's try it.
I just got it in the mail today. I got the MagSafe backer and a spotting scope adapter for my Vortex scope, and a bino adapter for my Sig image-stabilized binos.
And I was pretty much “blown away”… within 10 minutes, I had both setups done. First try and everything works perfectly.
See the attached video of a wolf chasing some guy. ;) That's 821 yards away.
Needs a little fiddling if you're setting it up horizontally, but a cinchy fix. Images look great and I can't wait to use it for my late season Muzzle Loader hunt.
I've only written one or two reviews ever, but this get up definitely deserves one.
My only regret is that I wish I'd also gotten the mag cover.
Buy with confidence.
Purchased the Foxtrot adapter for my spotting scope and have become addicted to sitting on my porch spotting the resident game. A ton of fun and relaxing.
Recently went on an out of state hunt to Utah and the adapter was amazing. Unfortunately, somehow on the return trip it was broken in transport. The team at ON GLASS immediately replaced the adapter free of charge.
THANK YOU!!
Your Last Digiscope Adapter...EVER!
Our adapter works with any phone. Which means no specifc case. When you get a new phone transfer it over. No need to buy a new case just to digiscope!
Never miss a shot for being too slow.
Our adapter perfectly aligns your phone camera to your optic, every time. Spot it. Shoot it. Share it.
Tired of Bulky Gear?
The On Glass adapter’s sleek, compact profile fits easily in your pocket, even when mounted on your phone.
