[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 2428584, member: 97649"] I have a high-magnification scope and this fits on the eyepiece. I set my phone on a small cellphone stand on the bench in front of me, and that way I don't need to change position to look through a scope, I can stay in position and only move my eyes. Be aware, though, at the higher magnification needed for longer distances, you can get a lot of jitter if your scope isn't mounted on a very solid tripod. I also found that adjusting the scope to get it centered on the target was difficult with the standard ball head on the tripod, so I invested (yes, it was an investment) in a 3-way geared pan and tilt tripod head ([URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1124273-REG/manfrotto_mhxpro_3wg_xpro_geared_3_way.html/qa?msclkid=bc3215ab3bcc1f2132897514a2183ccc[/URL]). This one fits a Manfrotto tripod, there may be some less expensive geared heads for other types of tripods. I got a heavy-duty Manfrotto tripod used on Craigslist for about $75, it was too heavy for the photographer, so just right for me.
