Years ago I got into digiscoping spring bears in the alpine. Had horrible equipment. Saw some absolute monsters up there. One day I watched a fight between two big bears. Lost most the pictures but had a few on fakebook.
I personally have not noticed high humidity being an issue but have never really thought about it, nor have I tried to directly compare high vs low humidity. I haven’t used my spotter enough in the winter here to compare its performance as opposed to summer.
I have absolutely noticed significantly less mirage and heat waves in AK, as opposed dry areas such as WY and southern ID. My experience is limited to just my Swaro ATM 20-60x65mm though.
Anyone got recommendations on creating a digiscope rig to use an iPad?
Before someone goes "WTF you packing an iPad out to look at critters" - I'm thinking more of the range. Hooking up and being able to see my groups at 200-600 yards as I shoot. Big assed screen right there, easy to see.. I haven't found one other than Novagrade but am wondering if others have recommendations.

Digiscope w/your phone and mirror the screen to your iPad.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

According to the Apple Support community - that's not possible. Also - I run Android phones which is apparently possible with some apps. Good idea, thanks.
Let’s bump this topside. Anyone been out goofing around in the off season? I played with the MagView today and obviously have a lot to learn. Tried to find caribou to get pics of but had to settle for rock ptarmigan.
I got bored taking pics and blasted 5. What can a guy do🤷♂️???!!
I got a few more but need to clear out some room on Imgur.
I can see it being useful once I learn to use it better. I had a hell of a time centering my phone camera directly over the eyepiece.
Most of the pics I took were rotated 90 degrees. I am not sure if that was from the MagView eyepiece not adjusted correctly or user error with my phone. The image was correctly oriented on the screen when taking the pics.
I couldn’t figure out the MagView app at all, or at least see how it worked any better than the regular camera. When it comes to technology, I may as well be a boomer.
I like the MagView app. It keeps your phone from trying to switch lenses, gives you the grid/dot to help align with the eye piece, timer and the ability to use either auto focus or manual.
Still going to get a blue tooth trigger thingy like you use though.
