Was farting around at the cabin and thought it would be fun to try and use a smartphone's camera zoom to digitally magnify targets at distance. Worked surprisingly well considering it was my first attempt, all while filming. Just uploaded a video of it. Thought it was pretty neat. Begs the question if there is a market for 3d printed cellphone specific picatinny mounts to do just this on a whim. Essentially use your phones 10X digital zoom to make a 300yrd shot.

 
Pretty cool. Honestly very surprised that you were getting hits. Would think that you would get issues with collimation. May be more of an issue at range? Maybe got lucky? I dunno.

I have a phone mount for spotters/binos/etc to mount my phone to. Works well enough for recording, I just always forget to bring the damn thing.
