Finally, a smartphone photography accessory more dangerous than the selfie stick.
Re/actions: Smartphones and Hunting, Together at Last!

For the mobile phone owner not satisfied by the make-believe of Deer Hunter 2014, here comes the Smartphone Scope, a Kickstarter project aiming to make your Instagram feed cuter and/or bloodier (your choice!). It’s a mount that clips on to a hunter’s spotting scope or the scope of a rifle, bow or crossbow, and magnetically holds your phone in place to help you get that killer shot.
As we’ve done previously with Sony’s Dorkglasses and this fecal-minded video game, I encouraged Re/code staffers to fire some gut reactions to the Smartphone Scope my way. Here are their potshots:

It aims at the heart of how to do better videos and photos. No, really.
Looking forward to seeing the Meerkats that will be shot with this bad boy. The videos, not the animals.
