In this episode of the Backbone Unlimited podcast, Matt Hartsky gives a full, honest review of the Kapture Gear magnetic digiscoping system—equipment he purchased with his own money and has used for over a year in real Western big game hunting situations. From scouting high-country elk basins and glassing for mule deer in open country to filming pronghorn on the plains, watching spring black bears during green-up, and covering miles during shed hunting season, this system has been tested in the exact environments where reliable optics and quick recording matter most.

Anyone who spends serious time behind binoculars or a spotting scope knows how frustrating it can be to capture what you’re seeing in the moment. Traditional digiscoping adapters are often bulky, slow to mount, and easy to fumble when an animal appears unexpectedly. Matt explains how the Kapture modular magnetic system attempts to solve that problem by allowing hunters to quickly attach their phone to their optics and start recording in seconds.

In this review, Matt walks through how the magnetic mounting system works, how it aligns with binoculars and spotting scopes, the speed of transitioning from glassing to filming, and the image quality you can expect when using your phone’s primary and telephoto lenses. He also discusses durability in rough terrain and offers an honest look at the limitations of the system from a solo public land hunter’s perspective.

If you’ve ever struggled to capture elk, mule deer, antelope, or bears through your optics, this episode will help you decide whether this digiscoping system is worth adding to your kit.
