[Tweeters] Digiscope attachment- opinions

[Kevin Lucas]

I had a PhoneScope for a previous phone. It was phone model specific, and 
worked okay for the Samsung S4 I owned then. It would not fit any other 
model phone. I did not like that the collar piece stayed on the scope 
eyepiece, nor how tgat collar wedged onto the scope eyepiece hood.

Two phone models later, I'm pleased with my Novagrade digiscoping adapter. 
It's adjustable to fit most phones and most birding optics' eyepieces. It's 
well machined from high quality aluminum, with well designed high quality 
plastic, brass, and stainless steel components. I like that I will be able 
to use it with other phones and scopes and binoculars. It works well on my 
Zeiss Diascope 85 TFL and on my Swarovski ATX? 80 backup scope. When 
removed, no piece remains on the eyepiece.

To prevent vibration induced blur I usually use a cheap Bluetooth remote to 
trigger my camera shutter, or use the stylus from my phone. It has a button 
that works as a wireless shutter trigger.

Novagrade tech support was excellent in answering detailed questions I 
asked of them.

They also make direct projection adapters for Nikon and Canon.
