After watching YouTube vids and reading a few threads, I purchased the MagView system for my Meopta S2 Spotting Scope.

I haven't had a chance to try it out in the field of course and my neighbors might get weird ;) but just curious to hear if anyone else has it and if you have any tips.

Thanks!

I didn't go with the Mag View because at the time it was sloppy to center the lense... they may have fixed it. My buddy struggled because of that. I went with the Scope Cam because it has a positive lock so the camera lens is centered in the scope lens every time. It also has a chuck system so it will fit virtually any scope/bino. It was less expensive too. Sorry, I don't have any personal experience with the Mag View. Ed F

Ok, thank you for that info. I have not heard of Scope Cam, before I bough MagView....it was spendy too. Hopefully it will work well. I'll be test driving it soon. Kenny
 
I had difficulty getting my Magview to line up. I love how low-profile and unintrusive the system is, but getting it to line up was a p.i.t.a. I switched to Ollin and while it lies up perfectly, it's much more intrusive and doesn't fit my glass as well. I have been considering Scope Cam.

I really wish @TRICER would come up with a glassing system that combines the best parts into one . . .
 
I have heard good things with magview, but I used Ollin too. It has been great for my spotter and a little annoying with the binos, but works well.
