Are there any rifle shooting hobbyists here?
There have been adapters to attach your phone to a spotting scope available for a while. As mentioned above, you need a tripod to make it useful.
Recently was at the rifle range and a guy had his phone attached to his spotting scope, zoomed in on his target out there a couple hundred yards. I was surprised at the clarity. Made it really handy to fire a round, and check POI without squinting through the spotting scope, which messes up your benchrest hold and your eye focus. He said he could record video of an entire group fired in sequence, and then edit that however he wanted. I thought it was a cool idea.
