Transform your iPhone XR smartphone into a super telephoto lens and combine the high quality camera and video functions of your smartphone with the power and legendary quality of a Kowa spotting scope or binocular to create an ultra compact, high quality super telephoto lens.
It couldn’t be easier to start taking highly magnified images or video with your smartphone via the Kowa RP Series smartphone adapters.
Simply slot your smartphone into the highly protective adapter and screw on the appropriate adapter ring (sold separately) - that’s all there is to it - then push the adapter over the eyepiece of your spotting scope and you’re ready to digiscope - the whole process takes seconds.
The Kowa RP series smartphone adapter is made from a tough polycarbonate material. The design is slim and sleek and yet offers a high level of protection to your smartphone.
Bought this on advice from Birders Store having tried a phoneskope lollipop which I didn’t get on with. The case provides excellent protection and works perfectly. It is a tight fit but it is not too awkward to remove when not in use for ’scoping’. The layout of the ring mounting plate prevents permanent use as a standard case since it blocks the camera flash so an everyday case for the iPhone is required anyway. I use this with a Swarovski ATS scope and with the TSN-AR11 WZ ring it fits well. However the iPhone XR is quite large and although the ring is a perfect fit on the eyepiece, it is not quite tight enough to prevent twisting under gravity when in landscape orientation. Birders Store very helpfully sourced some additional packing felt for me to prevent this. Excellent service and I am delighted with the result. Thoroughly recommended (both product and seller).
