iScope Smartphone Adapter for Rifle Scopes (View and Record)
Ever wish you could see the image from your riflescope on a large bright screen, and record your shooting experience when shooting targets or hunting? Well, here’s a new product that offers that functionality. The iScope is a handy adapter that connects a smartphone to your rifle scope — virtually any scope. You can see your target and cross-hairs easily without squinting and with your head in a comfortable position. Importantly, the image from the scope can be seen easily from a few feet away, allowing an instructor to provide guidance during the shooting process.

To use the iScope, you need a $0.99 App that allows you to zoom the image with a slider on your smartphone. This app also operates the Record on/off function, so you can record video clips. These can later be uploaded to YouTube and social media sites. Show the world your great bughole group, or your successful game hunt.
Practical Advantage of Digital Viewing
We think this product (or something like it) will be very valuable during training. The large view-screen allows instructors to “see what the shooter sees”, so the trainer can provide immediate feedback to the trainee. In addition, while practicing at long range, a shooter can record the position of wind-flags, or record mirage for later analysis. During a match, the iScope could be used by match directors to record shot placement, with a “shooter’s eye view”.
The iScope also offers obvious benefits for shooters with physical disabilities. Head positioning is critical with rifle optics — you must align your eye very precisely with a small circle of light (exit pupil) only a few millimeters in diameter. With a large viewscreen, a wheelchair-bound shooter can position himself comfortably and view the magnified scope image.
iScope Benefits
- Shooting sessions can be recorded and reviewed later.
- Hunters can record successful game hunts.
- View Screen allows two-person, side-by-side training.
- Digital Zoom allows greater magnification with low-power optics.
- Shooters with eye problems can see target and cross-hairs more easily.
- iScope helps Shooters with physical disabilities.
The iScope retails for about $110.00 ($99.00 on Amazon). All iScopes come prepackaged to fit the iPhone 4/4S or iPhone 5 at this time. However, you can purchase other backplates to fit popular Android OS smartphones from Motorola and Samsung. The iScope is versatile — it fits nearly all rifle scopes and there is an adapter for spotting scopes also.

Sounds like a great accessory. Only question is – are iphones made to withstand big recoiling rifles?
Shiraz: I certainly can’t make any guarantees (and I’d be sure to have ones warranty active). However, the manufacturer says this: “Q: Will the recoil of the gun hurt my smartphone: A: No. We have fully tested the Smartphones listed above and no internal or external damage has been detected. However if you plan to use a shotgun or a gun with an extreme amount of recoil than we suggest that you use the provided Rubber Recoil Bands. Simply place one band on the left and one on the right around the Smartphone and the back plate together so that your Smartphone will be secure and not pop out of the back plate during extreme recoil.”
hmmm… reviews on Amazon don’t look promising. Some report problems with bold actions. I actually wonder if this might work with a Hawkeye borescope? That sure would save a heck of a lot of money vs the video capture option
I used this product to make videos for GA Precision this summer.
It is “ok” but I had to change one of the screws to let the bolt action work, and it was still not extremely secure. Only low recoil guns would work well, it was moving around with braked guns that weren’t large.

would not be allowed in an NRA high power match per nra rule book
Two questions, one how or where can this be purchased, two how much does it cost?
Just got mine in the mail. Because I live in Alberta Canada the $100 turned into $201.00 with shipping and exchange. That’s ok because it’s a cool toy. However when it is installed I can’t cycle the bolt and that’s frustrating. I don’t know how many of these they have sold but I would say at least 50-75% are probably mounted on bolt action rifles. Don’t they ever try there own stuff. I’ll call customer service and see how that goes.
Do you need a special APP to use an iPhone 5s
Does the ISCOPE fit a Google Pixel?
Is there an update that works with IOS11? Need this for a hunt coming up this week
