GOSKY Smartphone Adapter Mount Regular Size - Compatible with Binoculars, Monoculars, Spotting Scopes, Telescope, Microscopes Fits almost all Smartphones on the Market Record Nature and The World

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.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this phone mount for my telescope so I wouldn't have to deal with my shaky hands messing up photos. I've been using it for a day now and the quality is amazing! At first I became disappointed because it didn't seem to fit my iPhone 15, but after a little while of using it I discovered that there are two screw holes which can be used to hold your phone better. As other reviews might mention, it is screwy-in based rather than springs, which is somewhat annoying, but not annoying to the point of taking away from the quality. It (again, as other reviews have said) does take a few minutes to get aligned, but I have noticed that the more I set it up, the faster I align it. The frame is made of a durable metal while the smaller bits are a firm plastic. I'm just an amateur photographer without much experience, but this mount has proved itself extremely useful to me! 9/10 would buy again.

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.
