GOSKY Spotting Scope Phone Adapter for Binoculars & Monoculars | Universal Phone Mount Fits iPhone & Android. Compatible with Spotting Scopes, Binoculars, Telescopes and Microscopes

My son and I have been using the Gorsky adaptor for two weeks now and once you get the hang of it, you won’t regret your purchase. It’s amazing how often one of us wants to share what we’ve found on a scope, only to have it bumped and become misaligned – Not anymore. Now once we find the general area where our specimens reside, we mount the Gosky and both of us have a real-time view! Quality is amazing, with solid aluminum, steel and ridged plastic construction, with padded mounts for your phone and eyepieces, it should last for years. Mounting the device is simple enough, though for smaller eyepieces I found the mount loose – at no fault to the adaptor. This is easily remedied by inserting a folded business card or tissue between the mount and the eyepiece. At first you may struggle getting any image at all until you figure out that you need to take into account all three axes. You not only have to align your phone with the eyepiece, you must also adjust the pitch, roll, and yaw until you have a centered image. Distance from the eyepiece also matters and depending on the optics, you may find better results having the adaptor’s clamp flush with the edge of the eyepiece, leaving a gap between the phone’s camera and the eyepiece, or a closer mount may work better. Once everything is adjusted, don’t be surprised if the image is not as bright or as large as what you would see using just your eyes – typically you’ll see the circular image taking up a small fraction of the screen. Once again, no fault to the adaptor – this is purely a result of using a phone camera in a manner it wasn’t intended to be used. Zooming in on the image does a good job at using your screen real-estate. Locking the focus of your camera will also prevent image fluctuation, though it tends to darken the view. Adjust the image brightness accordingly. The video and images below were taken with an iPhone 5 at 4x and 10x using the My First Lab Duo-Scope Microscope - MFL-06 available here on Amazon. You'll note that you don't need a professional level microscope to see the paramecium and amoebas. I also mounted it on our Kyowa Lumiscope 6TI5T6 microscope (which has fantastic optics and fine-control) and on a small telescope- no issues. I’d love it if there was a deluxe model that had would have knobs to allow you to fine-tune the pitch, roll, and yaw of the camera placement, though that might make it too bulky as well as a lower clamp to record your cell phone’s position, making future use a drop and load. Supplemental software would also work wonders – something that would allow you to broadcast to your computer a real-time feed of what your phone is capturing. (If anyone knows of such a product for iOS, please reply in the comments!)

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.

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.

Yikes! It is well-made, but very difficult to use with a modern iPhone. I couldn't get the focus or borders to sharpen up, regardless of the iPhone settings.

Update: After several uses I can say I'm pretty satisfied, product works great, at first is a little bit hard to mount but after some practice it got easy, finally I can take good photos and videos or simply watch birds through the scope in my phone screen with several partners at the same time, also have to mention once more the great customer service given by seller. UPDATE: Awesome customer service, just received an email offering the solution for this issue, I will update on how it goes. Adapter is sturdy and fits as advertised to my phone, unfortunately did not fit my scope eyepiece and guess what NO RETURN POLICY, this is why I gave 3 stars Anyway i am considering to order the bigger one if I make my way through it, info about measurement is a little bit confusing at amazon. Update: Just realized that by selecting different images under the COLOR section below the description you can switch between sizes or even products, once again this is confusing and makes me hesitate about ordering again and receiving a wrong product.

This Adapter Mount is an absolute pain to use. Every single time I tried to set it up, it felt like solving a frustrating puzzle—adjusting the elastic bands and fiddling with the angles was such a chore. My phone would either slip out or get wedged at a crooked angle, making it useless for actually using as a mount. The “universal” design didn’t fit my phone securely, and the plastic bits felt like they’d snap at any second. After wasting 20 minutes just to get it “semi-working,” I gave up—no way this flimsy thing was worth the hassle. Other reviewers mention the same issues: constant readjusting, shaky stability, and poor build quality. Even though it’s cheap, you’d think basics like functionality would matter. I returned it ASAP and regret spending even $10. Stick with a sturdier brand—this one’s a total time-suck. Do yourself a favor and pick something that actually works without a headache.

The adapter I ordered didn’t fit quite right, go sky was great and was really responsive for customer support. They ended up setting sending out a new adapter that works perfectly. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my wife, an avid bird watcher, to use with her binoculars. It takes a bit of fiddling to set up, but it does work very well. I've attached 2 pictures taken through a pair of Nikon binoculars using my LG G2 smartphone. The first is the full picture, the second is cropped to show the squirrel in the tree that's in the center of the pic. My G2 (and my wife's Galaxy Note 3) both have centered lenses. The design of this mount is such it would work better with an off-center lens. As it is, I have to turn the phone to get the lens over the eyepiece of the binoculars and the pictures are tilted. Of course, rotating an image is easy enough, but it should still be noted as a slight design flaw. The other problem is, and this is less with this specific mount and more a reflection on using a camera with a pair of binoculars, you really need three hands--2 to hold and adjust the binoculars and 1 to adjust the camera & snap the picture. It's a little cumbersome. However, despite that, my wife enjoys using the device and even likes it for simply showing the view through the binoculars on a bright, 5.5" screen rather than through the eyepieces. The mount itself is also fairly heavy, which is both a negative--because it adds to the weight of the binoculars--and a positive, it's very sturdy and well-built. I'm not afraid of any of the pieces breaking off or the screws stripping out. The grips around the binocular eyepiece are padded and there is padding on everything that touches your camera/smartphone. I'm not afraid to tighten anything down and it grips well. It fits my G2 with it's case on, and my wife's Note 3, which doesn't have a case. It has room to spare, so I would guess it can accommodate some of the newer phablets as well.

kaliteli malzeme, kusursuz tasarım, Celestron AstroMaster 130 teleskop ile yaptığım ilk gün çekimlerinin fotoğraflarını ekledim

Había estado intentando sacar fotografías a pulso pero la verdad es muy dificil, ya que hay que atinarle al objetivo y si tienes pulso de maraquero pues es imposible. Con este soporte se resulve el problema de inmediato, ahora las fotos son nítidas y mejor enfocadas. Es muy bien producto, de buena calidad en tanto material y manufactura. Adempas llegó antes de la fecha

Pour remplacer le nanar qui était livré avec ma longue-vue, se support de téléphone tient très bien. Le plus difficile aura été de régler précisément bien au centre du trou face au bon objectif du smartphone et bloquer cela. Nettement mieux que les gadgets à trois sous qu'on vous donne dans la boite de jumelles.

Quería hacer fotos con mi móvil y mi telescopio de la luna y este adaptador cumple con la función y no es muy caro, mucho más comodo que tener que sujetar el móvil a mano

I've really enjoyed this attachment for my Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT. It fits my 1.25 inch eyepieces easily. Attaching my phone was a breeze and taking pictures of the night sky took little time from original set up. It will only attach to the 1.25 inch eyepieces as the larger 2 inch eyepieces are too big, but I already new that when I was looking at purchasing. It is hard to line up my phone's camera over the eyepiece, but as long as the moon is out, I can use it for the set up and then move around to the area of the sky that I want to photograph. With the steady hands-free attachment I can extend the exposure up to 14 seconds on my phone and bring in plenty of stars, galaxies and nebulae that I wouldn't be able to see with the naked eye.
