Digiscoping used to mean lugging a spotting scope and a bulky bracket just to grab a picture of what you were watching. The MagView B1 XL takes a different route. It's a slim collar that clamps onto one of your binocular eyecups, and paired with the included stainless steel phone plate, it lets you snap your smartphone on with rare-earth magnets. That means you can go from glassing a ridgeline to filming a bull in seconds, then break the magnetic connection just as fast when you want your phone back. The XL version is sized for larger optics, fitting eyepiece diameters from 44mm to 48mm (1.73 to 1.89 inches), so measure across the hard rubber cup before ordering to make sure you're in that range.
Installation is about as simple as it gets. You push the adapter collar around the eyecup and snug down the single retaining screw, being careful not to crank it so hard you crush the cup. On the phone side, you peel and stick the slim metal plate to the back of your phone or case one time. After that you're mounting and dismounting in seconds. One handy detail is that the adapter is low profile enough to leave on your binoculars full time. It won't get in the way of the twist-up eyecups, so you can keep using your binos the normal way with the phone off.
The magnets are genuinely strong, so once your phone is seated it stays put even if you bump the tripod. There's a little practice curve to lining the camera up with the eyepiece perfectly, but most folks get the hang of it quickly. A couple of field tips: turn off your phone's macro mode before aligning, shoot in good light, and mount your binoculars on a tripod for the steadiest results. Built in the USA, the B1 XL is a light, reliable way to share what you see through your glass without hauling extra gear.
The B1 XL is built for larger eyepieces, fitting diameters from 44mm to 48mm (1.73 to 1.89 inches). Measure across the hard rubber eyecup of your binocular before ordering to confirm you're in that range. If your eyepieces measure smaller, in the 38.5mm to 43mm range, the standard B1 is the one you want instead.
No, that's one of the nicer parts of the system. You simply stick the included slim stainless steel phone plate onto the back of your existing phone or case one time, and the magnets handle the rest. If you switch phones or cases down the road, you'll just need a fresh adhesive plate.
Yes, the standard MagView Phone Plate is not compatible with wireless chargers, so it will block that feature once applied. If wireless charging matters to you, MagView offers a MagSafe-style plate designed to keep that capability. Everything else about mounting works the same.
Turn off your phone's macro mode before you try to align the camera, since it can throw off the focus. Shoot in good lighting, clean your eyepiece lenses first, and mount your binoculars on a tripod to cut down on shake. It takes a little practice to line the camera up perfectly, but most people dial it in quickly.
