Birds? What Birds?!

Not sure why this hasn't popped up here yet.

We had a very quick play around with this at Birdfair and it seems to do broadly what you'd expect:

Anyone buy one at the event or try it out?

Cheers, Pete

I'll be honest it looks so likely to snap I'd be scared to take one into the field.

I do like the look of this - is it really that flimsy then Keith?

I've no experience with it, but it just looks like the connection between the phone case and the eyepiece ring is gonna be the weak point of the system. Unless they separate for travel I can see the case and eyepiece ring breaking apart in the bottom of a day sack.

Kinda agree with you on that one. Still may risk £30 to find out 8-P

Got mine today. Well made and they are seperate items. The sleeve comes with its own little cloth bag as well. Popped in on my scope this evening and bingo it seems to line up and work very well. They might be onto a winner with this.

Hopefully I will give it a go next time I am out and about birding.
