My Razor spotter came in today. I ordered the 27-60x85mm angled scope with the 22x MRAD reticle eyepiece. The eyepiece was on back order so I dont have any pics using that eyepiece yet.

Pics were taken with my old Samsung Galaxy S10e cell phone and the scope was on a tripod. No phone holder was used. These are just different mountain tops around my house. Distances were measured with my Vortex Razor HD4000 laser rangefinder.

Note. the camera on the phone has definitely degraded the picture quality a little. Viewing through the scope shows a more crisp and brighter image.

First is a mountain top at around 1320 yards at 27x.

Second is a mountain tip at around 1850 at 27x.

Same mountain top at 60x. Had a harder time getting decent pictures on 60x magnification.

Mountain top at around 1130 yards at 27x. This one was looking in the direction of the sun.

Lastly is a mountain at 2.7 miles at 27x. The ridge in the foreground is at 2.3 miles. These were measured by Google Maps, though I have gotten a reading off the front ridge at night with the Razor HD4000.

Impressive. I am anxious to see a pic of the mil reticle eyepiece.

Ive used it before on a friends Razor. It's the reason I chose this spotter over others. Its a wide angle piece so the eye box is amazing and a 22x with a 85mm lens makes for a very bright picture. I should have a new phone with a significantly better camera by then too. Also will be buying a Phone Skope too.
 
You may already know this , the secret to getting really good pics with a phone skope is to set your camera with a couple second delay so all the vibration is gone when it takes the picture . You'll be able to take flicks of hummingbirds in the next county with that set up!!
