Finally, a smartphone photography accessory more dangerous than the selfie stick.
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:

Looking forward to seeing the Meerkats that will be shot with this bad boy. The videos, not the animals.
