I have tried to attach my One+ phone to the eyepiece of my telescope using the Celestron bracket and the Blanket bracket. None of them were able to place the lens of the phone properly. The phone ended up either in the wrong distance or fail to sit parallel to the eyepiece. Eyepiece is the stock Celestron 40mm which is very forgiving. Worst of all is the amount of "play" that makes even worse to fine tune, they aren't ridgid.Enter this one. It was affordable enough to merit experimenting since the design is different. It worked. I was able to dial it in pretty fast, Saturn showed up in the center of the screen - beautiful!I suspect that the difference here is that this product is way more rigid than the others I tried. I was sceptical of the amount of plastic used. The frame is metal, but all the adjustment axis are made out of plastic. Solid, rigid plastic. There's no play in the system, plastic does not bend at all.For hobbyists like me with different eye focus (astigmatism and myopia) this brings back the magic of Electronically Assisted Astronomy can bring. Don't get me wrong, there's no contest against viewing the planets directly off the eyepiece - there's something ethereal about it - but smartphone is a good trade-off. I can recommend this bracket.

First of all, you have to figure out how much max width you have with your Bino's wide open which makes a huge difference in being able to angle these units enough to get your phones perfectly horizontal "whether at 0 degree's or 90 degree's" without having to tilt the bino's on the tripod head. i had purchased and returned 4 other supposedly Quality brands ranging in price from $50 to $100 that were rated pretty good but not good on my heaviest Bino's "Cheapo Pentax 20x60" that are very heavy weighing in at 4.1 pds nor my lighter units because they just wouldn't stay in place once mounted and did not have near the adjustment these have. On these particular Bino's i have to mount them at 20 degree's to get my Iphone 5s to near perfect horizontal plane which isn't a real problem. There is a lot of adjustment with this unit but the way it clamps on i have to use every bit of it but it works awesome ! I have found that the field of view improves dramatically with backing the camera lens away about 1/2" and the same with both pairs of my Vortex. It does take a bit to get it adjusted so if you are running and gunning with quick set-ups you will probably get very frustrated but i had worse problems with the other units i had. This unit is by far more durable than the other units i tried " with this Being made mostly of Metal. The ocular clamp is awesome with with very durable inserts that will definitely not damage your optics but will grip without moving once tightened. The Phone clamp is also very easy to adjust and grips my Iphone 5s very firmly and will not damage the phone nor move once tightened and also with durable soft inserts surrounding the phone ! With my particular adjustable , rubber ocular piece with the Outside Diameter of 48.49 MM with this clamp opened to its max it is extremely snug to get the clamp around but it will work with some patience and finesse. If your particular eye cups are hard with little to no give then it will not fit at this max adjustment. In my opinion it is a Must to purchase a remote Bluetooth shutter release for the best pictures possible. At this point i am very satisfied with my experience and will not be returning it! I Know, My Grammar sux at best so please forgive me.

This is a usable product, but you have to MacGyver or jury-rig it a bit-- and I don't think the user should have to.The mount is solid (nice use of polymer-coated metal), and the price is right. But there's one key adjustment that they left out, and it's critical: The eye relief.Different microscopes, telescopes, spotting scopes, rifle scopes, and binoculars have varying amounts of eye relief (that is, distance between the eyepiece and the viewer's eyeball). Usually this distance depends on the "power" or magnification of the optic, but it can also be depending on the depth of the rubber eye cup or shade (if there is one). Using this mount, the eye relief would be the distance between the optic's eye piece and the lens of your cell phone camera.Well, this mount has no adjustment for eye relief, depth, or distance from the eyepiece. You have to manually attempt to clamp the mount to the eye piece at varying distances. However, if you're wrong in your estimate, you have to unclamp it from the eye piece, manually readjust the distance, hope you got it right this time, and then reclamp. If it's still not good, you have to repeat until you get it right. To be clear, your camera can auto-focus to compensate for some slack, but you don't get as good of an image if the eye relief isn't correct.This would be a relatively easy fix for the designers if they allowed a screw adjustment for distance. Even 1/4-inch of adjustment would make a world of difference in terms of being able to dial-in the correct relief for the best possible pictures.Would still buy again because it's a neat mount, but really wish they'd fix the design.

I purchased this so I could mount my iPhone on the spotting scope I use at the gun range so I didn't have to keep getting up from my shooting position to verify the impact point of my previous shot. I have come to love this adapter, it works perfectly but at first I found the case I keep my phone in it would slide a bit after a while and the lens would move out of line from the phones camera. but I found if I put a thin strip of rubber between the phone and the adapter it doesn't move all day even in the summer heat and humidity.Aside from the one small issue I listed above the adapter is well built using metal and plastic parts, sitting on a bench for hours hanging from a scope none of the screws back out and I've seen no signs of wear or fatigue in all the months I've been using it, it sill looks as good as the day I got it from Amazon.The first couple times you use it you will have issues learning how to line up the phones camera to the scope and that you have to zoom a little bit on the camera to get the scope picture maximized on screen. I'm not sure if it's the same for telescopes but on my spotting scope the zoom ring is where it's grabbing onto the eye piece so if I put it on wrong the weight of the phone will actually zoom out the scope small thing but just remember to mount it in a way that gravity won't affect your scope.Oh and if you are using a phone like I am, get an external battery power pack to plug your phone into I leave the phone on almost all the time I'm on the range (4-5 hours) and having the camera up and slightly zoomed in uses a lot of power so just a heads up.Would I buy this again, yes I would I have actually pointed out this mount to other members of my gun club who like how having a camera on the scope is a really nice thing to have.

BUEN MATERIAL Y BUENOS ACABADOS, EL TELEFONO SE SOSTIENE BIEN, SE AJUSTA BUEN AUN TELESCOPIO O UNOS BINOCULARES Y FACIL DE USAR.

Der Handy-Halter ist Universal einsetzbar.Ob Teleskop oder Fernglas, alles geht gut einzustellen. Empfehlenswert.

Just like the title says, we don't use it anymore because it's just difficult to work with
