The media could not be loaded. This is exactly what I needed for capturing great pictures and videos!Design: there are 2 learning curves; one being able to align the product with your phone lense & two being, holding the binoculars without adjusting the view you’re trying to capture.Highly recommend watching the product instructions video but overall it’s a very beneficial product to capture amazing content without losing quality when zooming in on a general phone

Difficult to use on multi lens iPhone 14

***Update: This is AMAZING! We are on our safari right now and I have to say this device is well worth the money. I am using it on my 10x42 Bushnell HD Bino, and I have an iPhone 13. I was riding in the back (open cage with seats) of a Land Cruiser going over the terrain in the Kalahari Desert, 20 miles south of Botswana (we are rocking and rolling back there). This adapter is easy to get attached, I took my phone off to use the Bino and phone separately and got it back together in the back of the LC with no issue. Also, my phone stayed secure in the adapter and we are rocking around. Using the live mode you can see how much shake was involved if you press the photo. I am including a few photos, the animals are between 100 and 1000 yards, the image quality is due to my Bino/phone, not the adapter.We purchased this device to take with us on safari in South Africa. My hubs suggested it and I thought it would be cool. I chose this one based on the reviews and it seemed fairly straightforward to use. Also, this model fit our phones. The phone adapter feels solidly made, not flimsy. You have to squeeze it together to get it attached to the binos, I have arthritis, but I was able to attached and positioned it ok. It was secure and didn’t seem like it would fall off. I also appreciate the size and shape, it fits in my pack well. We have only tested it in the backyard, but I plan to take it to the gun range when we go and then on safari. The photos are with Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 binos and iPhone 7se, greenhouse is maybe 25 yards, house is 100 yards. I’m really happy with this and excited to see what photos I can get.

You will wish you have this if you think it is easy to hold your phone steady up against an eyepiece on your binoculars or scope. With practice, you can get your phone camera lens lined up perfectly and it holds the phone very securely. I was pointing my binoculars without even holding onto the phone. Made with extremely hard material; not flimsy. The foam pads that came with it didn’t adhere well enough, and fell off in use, so I used the clamp without them. It easily pops onto any eyepiece. Be aware that glare on the screen can be an issue in the field when trying to see the image. The remote shutter trigger is a bonus so you can take the photo without touching (bumping) the screen. It easily connects with Bluetooth, has a replaceable battery and can be turned off when not is use.

In order to get the larger of the iPhone 8’s cameras to line up, the phone has to hang halfway out of the clamp. This means that there’s very little holding the phone in place, and as a result, every touch or movement causes it to shift around.Add to that the fact that there’s no way to lock down the axis that slides to allow the eyepiece to be in Ed up, and the entire experience is sheer frustration. Nothing wants to stay in place, and you spend more time fiddling with the whole setup than actually taking photos.

I just bought this item and thought I'd write a review of this adapter. I found it was very sturdy right out of the box, didn't feel like it was going to fall apart or break. It took a few minutes to orientate myself on how to put it onto my phone and then attach to the assembly to the telescope. It was pretty intuitive to use and I enjoyed the pictures that I was able to take with it. Is a pretty hefty piece of equipment so make sure that your telescope can handle the excess weight. Once on the telescope it was easy to use and was stable while holding the eyepiece. I got some nice pictures and I'm very pleased with the product. I'd encourage anyone to buy this adapter.

I could not get this to center the phone on the telescope. I wanted to use this to take pictures of the sun and maybe a couple of the planets but there was no way that was going to happen with this. Every time I tried to adjust it or place the phone into the device and then the device on the telescope or the other way around, I could not seem to get it to center or to hold it in place well enough to take the picture. I did figure out that the spring / slide that the spring was on had a bad rough spot that I think caused most of my issues.

I bought the APEXEL phone adapter to use with my 70x50 binoculars and 6" Newtonian Reflector. This was my second attempt at finding the right adapter and this time I got it right! Do not make the same mistake I made! Forget about price! If you are going to use it more than once or twice a month, BUY THIS ONE! Especially with Binoculars. I am constantly removing and re-attaching the adapter and this thing is so simple to use; just squeeze the sides to open the ocular mount, insert it over the eyepiece and release. From shooting the moon to plane spotting to wildlife photos. (This beautiful Osprey landed by the lake and I knew it would not stay long. It took seconds to run inside, connect the adapter to my phone and then binoculars and start shooting. I had been playing with the custom spacers provided and ended up getting a really cool picture right before it took flight!) Just be sure to line up the correct pone camera lens with the adapters opening before attaching it to the device's ocular and then boom! You will be snapping amazing photos! (The moon shot was with my binoculars on a sturdy tripod using the APEXEL adapter.)
