Considerations & Trade-offs
- The phone plate included with the adapter is not compatible with wireless phone chargers, so charging setup may need to be adjusted.
- Use depends on attaching either the included plate or SYNC disc to the phone, which adds a small amount of setup and alignment before filming.
- Compatibility is limited to S.1, S.3, and the CS.1, so it is not a universal fit for all spotting scopes.
- When the S1 cap is closed, it serves as eyepiece protection, which is useful in the field but means the adapter is also part of the optic's cover system.
