Inteliscope: Use Your iPhone As A RifleScope

The Inteliscope is a picatinny mount for the iPhone which unlike, other phone picatinny mounts which we have blogged about before that mount a smartphone for use as a ballistic heads up display, allows the phone to be used as a digital scope.

Very cool idea, however I can't help but think the recoil would destroy the phone.

Awhile back there was a guy here in Texas who was "Tweeting" while his home was being invaded. He was in the bedroom, pistol in one hand, phone in the other I guess.

Now he can improve on that: he can upload his home-invasion response video in real time...

Good link....got a lead on two things I've been unable to find....one is the VCOG 6x zoom BDC sight coming out in August.

Imagine getting a call or a reminder as you're about to pull the trigger.

I wonfer if it has an additional lens like some of the phone addons...

I didn't think about that! That's actually a really good feature/selling point if the app can record while being used as a sight. You'd have instant proof of what happened.

I wouldn't rely on an iPhone and I wouldn't want something like this as a primary sight but I see 2 interesting benefits to this type of technology, the ability to record and the ability to shoot from cover.

what I would like to see is a "fiber cable adapter" that links a scope to the my Galaxy "N" and/or my Note "N". add a mount to the rifle system and then some laser ranging thingy and some software sauce and you can have a ala-cheapo tracking-point system. If you can add an infra-red filter, that is even better.
