Carson MonoPix Smartphone Digiscoping Bundle with 8x42mm Waterproof Monocular (MP-842IS)

Turn Your Smartphone Into a Digiscoping System

The Carson MonoPix bundle pairs a retrofitted 8x42mm waterproof monocular with a smartphone digiscoping adapter. It lets you capture sharp photos and videos by using your phone’s camera through the monocular’s glass, opening up hands-free moments for wildlife, landscapes, and events. The setup is designed to be quick to attach and easy to share, so you can relive and compare moments with friends, family, or teammates without complicated gear swaps.

How it Works

Simply mount your phone into the adjustable adapter, align the monocular with the device’s camera, and start recording or snapping photos. The monocular is tripod mountable, which helps steady shots when you’re tracking birds in flight or surveying distant scenery. Most popular smartphones fit the clamp (up to 3.75 inches wide in portrait orientation), including many iPhone and Android models. In many cases, you won’t need to remove your phone case, though some thicker cases may require a quick adjustment.
