tridaptor - Universal Digiscoping Adapter | High-Precision Phone to Telescope 3-Axis Metal Holder Mount for Spotting Scope Binocular Monocular Microscope|Fits 2.4" Eyepiece Max&Any Cell Phone Camera

Excuse my doubting.... I hadn't expected something that was engineered with such precision. I had read reviews of various similar plastic devices and there were many complaints/concerns about how the phone wobbled/moved slightly or it was difficult to set up.This device is all aluminum with precision 3-way screw adjusters to fine tune the alignment.Simply put, you attach the device to the lens/device that you are going to use first (Microscope, monocular, binocular, etc). It clamps very snug. Once that's fitted, then you determine which of the lens of the camera is the one you want (normally the "normal" or telephoto lens) and then clamp the device to your phone with the appropriate lens roughly over the lens of the microscope/binocular etc).Once that's done, you then have the 3 way adjustment. The red Adjuster allows you to move the camera forward or back (in-out) to the lens of the device. There are then 2 additional adjusters, one to adjust the left-right of the phone over the lens you attached it to and the other the adjust the up-down of the phone over the lens. So you do have total adjustment.I got mine fitted and working on a Samsung A15 within a couple of minutes. I should also point out that I have a hard shell case on my phone (I didn't take that off). The downside to the hard shell case is that it is thick and does not allow the device lens to touch the Phone's Camera lens. This means that I get a round image on my phone but soon as I set the phone to 2x telephoto that went away and the image was full screen. I was more than happy with this arrangement. If I took the phone out of the hard shell case it was a little easier but I prefer the phone in the hard shell and it worked perfect imhoI will point out whatever device you attach it to... you need a tripod mounted device. Hence why you should invest in a $5-6 Bluetooth Remote. That way you don't touch the camera using the lens. That's common sense.... anything that magnifies the image by huge amounts, 10x, 20x, 50x... the higher the magnification the more sensitive the image will be on screen to any type of touch of the camera. It is NOT the camera that is loose or wriggling, it's the lens device itself... Anyone who has used high powered lenses before knows what I mean. If you magnify the image, you magnify "shake". It's as simple as thatI must admit, from having tried some cheap plastic devices which were all but useless and moved around every time I touched the phone and needed constant readjustment, with this device I tested using a 10x monocular and hand held it. I was stunned that the frame and mounting clamps hold the phone so rigid that I never had to adjust the 3-way screws once I had it aligned even if I hand held the monocular. Meaning I didn't need to hold/touch/support the phone in anyway. I feel my phone is heavy compared to previous models so I was pleased this device worked so well.As for the clamping device, this is not something you carry around in your pocket. It is heavy itself due to the solid metal construction (I could not find a single piece of plastic on the holder). It is also somewhat bulky. So if you want something plastic and lightweight that slips in your pocket that definitely won't have the features of this device nor work as well... then this is not the one for you. However if you want something solid and quality built that can help you get excellent quality pictures and videos (and I do recommend a bluetooth remote) then this is definitely worth the extra few dollars.I bought my unit myself, I didn't get compensated for my review. I have no connection with the seller nor manufacturer in any way. I'm just a regular customer who was disappointed with the cheaper devices but jealous of seeing other peoples posted images which I could not acquire with devices I used. I also love astronomy so in the next few days, I'll drag out my big telescope and use this on that too. I have zero doubt as to its ability to work flawless on anything else I clamp it to.Definitely recommend this if you want a quality holder and you are not concerned about it's weight and bulk.

Delivered same day, works as expected, but a few practical issues to know before buying.1. Works best for me attached to my phone before attaching to eyepiece of my spotting scope.2. It makes the scope more sensitive to touching: the focus knob on the scope, the camera shutter button on the phone, zoom controls, etc. Needs a stable tripod/scope mounting especially over 20x.3. It mounts securely to the eyepiece but the phone camera winds up in a different position each time. The XYZ adjusters let me square the phone camera to the eyepiece but it's not quick.4. My spotting scope has a 20-60x zoom controlled by turning the eyepiece. When I mount this (w/phone), I have to be sure its center of gravity is directly below the center of the eyepiece or it turns the zoom control when I take my hands off it. I also have to remove & remount it when I change the zoom setting.None of these issues are anything defective, the device works as expected. It is effective, just slow.

Don't really work for my scope. So don't really know.

I really enjoyed using this device on my binoculars and scopes would buy again and I highly recommend this for anyone interested in using this for wildlife photography and video using any phone with any cover all day long

I bought this to take pictures through telescope. This is intuitive and easy to use. The remote is very easy to setup.

This is my second unit, the first being damaged in shipping due to Amazon not putting the item in any kind of shipping container and just sending it out in it's display box. The new unit, sent in an Amazon shipping bag (thanks for reading my comments Amazon!) arrived undamaged but with excessive play in the phone platen. this means that the problem most phone holders have (not holding the phone at 90 degrees to the eyepiece because of poor construction) and this phone adapter advertises to correct, is present in this unit as well, allowing the phone to tip back at an angle away from the eyepiece. the reason for 3 stars and not 1 star is because I can fix this problem in this adapter, where it is not fixable in other adapters. By disassembling it and adding some UHMW tape between the platen carriage and the platen adjuster plate, I can take up the excess clearance and have a phone adapter that doesn't droop when you put your phone in it. Move-Shoot-Move: please don't say you have designed a product that corrects a problem then ship a product that doesn't.

I use this adapter to allow my phone to view through my telescope. Then I can view what I’m looking at on my phone screen instead of trying to look through the eyepiece. I also can take photos through my spotting scopePros:1. It’s entirely made of metal so it’s durable2. It’s easy to adjust your camera to line up with your lens. My iPhone has three lenses so depending on the lens, I might have to make an adjustment. It has up-and-down and back-and-forth adjustments.Cons:1. You need to make sure you’re using your voice activation to take the picture or purchase a separate push button switch to take the picture. If manually take the picture you’re spotting scope will wiggle.

Excellent product, love it, would buy again.
