Overview
Magview’s S1 is built to make digiscoping quicker and less fussy when you want to document what you’re seeing through your optic. Its SYNC self-aligning magnetic system helps position your phone with the scope for faster setup, while the built-in rare-earth magnets eliminate the need for bulky adapters or cases. When the phone is off the optic, the cap helps protect the eyepiece from dust and moisture, making it a practical choice for hunters and observers who want a ready-to-use capture setup in the field. Note that the MAGVIEW Phone Plate is not compatible with wireless phone chargers.
