macker71165 5 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Havin seen the iscope i was a bit impressed by it but was a bit dismayed that their was no android version!! and it was a bit pricey!so thought i would have a go at making my own!! so off to b&q i went with a bit of an idea and some inspiration from youtube! i purchased these items based on my (nikko sterling scope 3-9x40).. a 42mm to 32mm plastic coupler(screw type) and a 32mm push fit access plug (all from the plumbing section)samsung galaxy s plus plastic hard case (which i had) or (what ever case to fit your android model) 1 tin of black spray paint! i fitted the case to the push fit access plug using a small screw and epoxy resin! good thing about android their is no software to download like on the iphone as android already have a hd video recorder with zoom built in! and the 42mm ring screw fits over scope and screws on to the tube nice and tight due to the rubber washers inside not harming the scope in any way! all done with a bit of paitience for under a fiver! i call this droidscope!
