Gun show find: iScope for spotting scope

[Rivr_runnr]

After shooting a USPSA match in Columbia this morning we stopped by a gunshow on our way home. Last corner I looked at to my suprise were these handy little dudes. The main product was an attachment that went on the shooters scopes ($99.00). While I was not interested in an attachment for my scope, the unit looked solid and the demonstration impressed me. I was interested in the attachments for the spotter that were half the cost ($49.99). They were new and didn't have any packaging or instructions and the guy had like two of them. Needless to say, this is a procuct I wish I had come up with. I am sceptical of the nylon set screws, but as long as it is used for light duty, it should be fine. The actual scope attachment used metal set screws with plastic knobs which certainly seemed more substantial.
I am not associated with this company in any way, so please direct all your questions to the appropriate parties.

What a great training tool!
Shooting video of conditions and providing instant feedback to a shooter could be a great training aid.
Thank you for the heads up on this! I've sent them an inquiry already.

I checked out the website and they also have a plate that fits the Droid.
I forgot to mention that they developed an Ap that must be purchased to get the phone to work, it's $.99.

Hopefully Meopta doesnt go after them for patent infringement as they have this patented http://www.meoptasportsoptics.com/shop/iscoping-adapter/NORoncHsOHH7/ctgMP.html

If it patent infringement I hope they do go after them. Not to sound like an ass but how'd you like your patented idea sold by someone else cutting you out of your hard work?

designs look quite different. just bc it is a mount for an iphone to an optic does not make it infringement.

also, neither of those will work on a rifle scope due to eye relief,,,,

Re: Gun show find: iScope for spotting scope

Sorry, I wasn't implying it was infringement. Just a comment as if it is I would understand/support the rational behind defending their patent. Cool toy though.

Re: Gun show find: iScope for spotting scope

I looked at the MeoPix® iScoping Adapter when they first came out, but comments led me to believe it would only fit Meopta spotters. This looks like it could be used on any spotter.

Re: Gun show find: iScope for spotting scope

And what from that link leads you to believe that the Meopix is patented. Generally if you have a patent...you SAY SO.
