This universal smartphone adapter holds your phone over the eyepiece of a telescope, binoculars, monocular or spotting scope, so you can take photos and video of what you see. A screw knob tightens the clamp around the eyepiece and keeps the phone camera lined up. It is a simple way to start photographing the Moon, birds and distant wildlife with the phone you already own.

Questions and answers

How do I take pictures through a telescope with my phone?
Clamp the adapter to the eyepiece, mount your phone, and slide it until the camera lens sits directly over the eyepiece. Then take the photo with a remote shutter or the timer.

Does it work with binoculars as well as telescopes?
Yes. It clamps onto one eyepiece of a pair of binoculars, and it also fits monoculars and spotting scopes.

Will it fit my phone?
It is a universal design made for standard smartphones. If you use a very thick case, remove it for the best alignment.
