I've been interested in using my iPhone to record shooting through my scoped air rifles ever since I first saw such a thing was possible on this site about 10 months ago. It looks so cool!

I've googled and googled. I've found many of the home-made arrangements. Looked at the ones with slip over tubes or framed brackets.

Anyone have success with an iPhone 7Plus (same size as 6 Plus)? I'll be putting it on Daystate Regal XL or Wolverine Hi-Lite. Planning to squirrel hunt with the set-up.

Sorry if this has been posted here before and I just haven't found it.

I did another search and found this DIY rig: http://www.airgunnation.com/find/

I'd rather find something commercial. Maybe I should post this on the Camera Forum here?

Thanks
 
This one works for most scope, but not all.

This one is out of stock presently at Amazon, but you can find them elsewhere if you do a bit of Googling. 

One more thing. Almost all of the smartphone videos I have seen, show the cross hairs off center. That happens when the adapter ID is larger than the scope's OD. Thus some shimming it needed. Gorsky does make one which keeps its center, but it is a bit awkward in my opinion. I solved the problem by buying an ATN, X-Sight II.

I called the Iscope folks on Tuesday. They are testing their iPhone 6 Plus set up with the 7 Plus. Told me to call back in two weeks to see what they found. I was impressed, they could have sold me the 6Plus version but didn't want me to be disappointed.

My only concern about this is most of the videos I've looked at on-line using iPhones seem blurry, either the cross hairs or the target.

I'll make that call in a couple of weeks. I'm thinking the camera thing might make my plinking more interesting. Ultimately I want to squirrel hunt with it. On a Wolverine or Regal XL. The XL probably won't work because I have an MCT (no eye-relief) scope on that one. 

Also, thanks to those who offered links to possible solutions! I checked all of them out.

I have the GoSky which Alan suggested. I have adapted it to both a Umarex Octane with high recoil and my FX impact. What I liked about this model is that you don't have to removed your phone case in order to attach it to the scope adapter like the iScope requires. I use a iPhone 6 with Otterbox case and the adaptor is able to expand to grip your phone.
