tridaptor - Universal Phone Scope Digiscoping Adapter|High-Precision XYZ Metal Telescope Mount 3-Axis Smartphone Holder for Spotting Scope Monocular Binos|Fits All Cell Phone Camera/Max 2.4" Eyepiece

Excuse my doubting.... I hadn't expected something that was engineered with such precision. I had read reviews of various similar plastic devices and there were many complaints/concerns about how the phone wobbled/moved slightly or it was difficult to set up. This device is all aluminum with precision 3-way screw adjusters to fine tune the alignment. Simply put, you attach the device to the lens/device that you are going to use first (Microscope, monocular, binocular, etc). It clamps very snug. Once that's fitted, then you determine which of the lens of the camera is the one you want (normally the "normal" or telephoto lens) and then clamp the device to your phone with the appropriate lens roughly over the lens of the microscope/binocular etc). Once that's done, you then have the 3 way adjustment. The red Adjuster allows you to move the camera forward or back (in-out) to the lens of the device. There are then 2 additional adjusters, one to adjust the left-right of the phone over the lens you attached it to and the other the adjust the up-down of the phone over the lens. So you do have total adjustment. I got mine fitted and working on a Samsung A15 within a couple of minutes. I should also point out that I have a hard shell case on my phone (I didn't take that off). The downside to the hard shell case is that it is thick and does not allow the device lens to touch the Phone's Camera lens. This means that I get a round image on my phone but soon as I set the phone to 2x telephoto that went away and the image was full screen. I was more than happy with this arrangement. If I took the phone out of the hard shell case it was a little easier but I prefer the phone in the hard shell and it worked perfect imho I will point out whatever device you attach it to... you need a tripod mounted device. Hence why you should invest in a $5-6 Bluetooth Remote. That way you don't touch the camera using the lens. That's common sense.... anything that magnifies the image by huge amounts, 10x, 20x, 50x... the higher the magnification the more sensitive the image will be on screen to any type of touch of the camera. It is NOT the camera that is loose or wriggling, it's the lens device itself... Anyone who has used high powered lenses before knows what I mean. If you magnify the image, you magnify "shake". It's as simple as that I must admit, from having tried some cheap plastic devices which were all but useless and moved around every time I touched the phone and needed constant readjustment, with this device I tested using a 10x monocular and hand held it. I was stunned that the frame and mounting clamps hold the phone so rigid that I never had to adjust the 3-way screws once I had it aligned even if I hand held the monocular. Meaning I didn't need to hold/touch/support the phone in anyway. I feel my phone is heavy compared to previous models so I was pleased this device worked so well. As for the clamping device, this is not something you carry around in your pocket. It is heavy itself due to the solid metal construction (I could not find a single piece of plastic on the holder). It is also somewhat bulky. So if you want something plastic and lightweight that slips in your pocket that definitely won't have the features of this device nor work as well... then this is not the one for you. However if you want something solid and quality built that can help you get excellent quality pictures and videos (and I do recommend a bluetooth remote) then this is definitely worth the extra few dollars. I bought my unit myself, I didn't get compensated for my review. I have no connection with the seller nor manufacturer in any way. I'm just a regular customer who was disappointed with the cheaper devices but jealous of seeing other peoples posted images which I could not acquire with devices I used. I also love astronomy so in the next few days, I'll drag out my big telescope and use this on that too. I have zero doubt as to its ability to work flawless on anything else I clamp it to. Definitely recommend this if you want a quality holder and you are not concerned about it's weight and bulk.

This seems to be mostly geared towards use on telescopes, but I use it on my microscope eyepiece and it works like a charm. Much better than the cheap plastic phone to microscope adaptors I’ve used before. It’s worth paying a bit more for a better product. It’s solid metal and feels very sturdy. Very easy to use.

While this would probably work very well for 99% of the scopes out there I own a 1% unit. It works great on my wife’s Vortex diamond back, my SV bony 405 works also, but the Vortex Razor with the standard eyepiece not so good. The combination of the material that the eyepiece is covered in and the location of the eyecup conspires to make mounting difficult, and keeping the adapter parallel almost impossible. It does however works perfect with the fixed power wide angle lens that Vortex sells as an accessory. It’s a universal mount and that usually means some units won’t work well, and with my luck I’ve got such a unit. I can not say enough about build quality. You definitely get what you pay for. All metal, no machine marks left behind, smooth controls. I would definitely give it a try, and with amazons great return policy, if you have a 1 percenter scope like me, you can return it. I’m keeping mine for my other scopes. One other note is that I have a cheap plastic adapter that is suppose to do the same thing and it doesn’t work either, and in fact it makes the problem worse.

I have been looking for a phone adapter for my spotting scope and found several ones ranging from 150.00 to 200.00. I decided to try this one and was pleasantly surprised. There is another one like this on Amazon looks the same but made of plastic for 19.99 I chose this because its anodized aluminum. Went on my spotting scope easily and it took me about 2 minutes to put the phone on and get a good picture. The Blue tooth remote works great, never have to leave the bench just push the button and it will take a picture or video. I shoot a lot of long range and if you don;t have a spotter its hard to tell if your rounds are not impacting the target. I can video my shot and review to see what corrections are needed. seems very durable and you can fine tune your spotting scope to get a very clear picture. I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and it fit in the holder with plenty of room to spare. Very happy with it for the price its great.

Works great. Has knobs for fine tuning and the pictures are awesome

This review is going to be a long one because when it comes to astro or terrestrial photography, even with a mobile phone, you want the best your money can buy. However, what may cost more may not always be what's best for our personal needs... I really like the Tridaptor Universal Phone Mount from Move Shoot Move. My reason for giving the product 3 stars instead of 5 is solely based on the cost. The nearest competitor for this product is the Svbony SV214 Pro which is also a 3-Axis phone mount, and like the Tridaptor, is constructed of high quality aluminum. Both products operate the same way, however the SV214 is 45% - 50% less in cost depending on taxes and shipping in your area. The cost may be slightly more or less but these numbers are within 2-3% at the time of this writing. I purchased both products to perform a side by side comparison, the following are my unbiased findings. Material; SV214 Pro (Aluminum) Tridaptor (Aluminum) Adjustments; SV214 Pro (3 Axis) Tridaptor (3 Axis) Ease of use; Both products hold the telescope lens in a linear screw "vice" style clamp that in turn connects to your telescope or other viewing device. The linear clamp (top side screw) on the SV214 Pro is secured from the top of the clamp as well as the bottom giving it a more precision feel. The Tridaptor clamp is only secured on the bottom and is to lose (wobbly). In my opinion, the potential for uneven horizontal pressure on the lens is a valid concern. I contacted Move Shoot Move regarding the lens clamp, their response is that it is "normal." It is worth noting, both clamps work, I would just expect more from a product that is constructed and designed so well in the other key areas, and as noted, uneven horizontal pressure on the telescopes lens gives reason to take more precautions while setting the phone mount up. Lens size accommodation; SV214 Pro - Two models, 28mm to 48mm and 44mm 64mm (Add 5 dollars US for the larger model) Tridaptor - 28mm - 60.96mm Phone Clamp (Cradle) SV214 Pro; Spring Loaded, Pros; Fast, you simply push your phone against the spring side of the phone cradle and slide your phone into place. The SV214 also has a "stop" at the bottom of the phone cradle making it easier to realign the phone when it is removed and reinstalled. Cons; The clamps are small and angled so there is less of the phone surface touching the clamps. Because the clamps on the SV214 Pro are spring loaded, this could cause slipping in newer phones that are constructed with 90 degree right angles. Another concern would be the spring itself, over time it will lose its ability to hold the phone tightly in the cradle and the part cannot be easily replaced if at all. This notwithstand, the spring is made of high quality metal and will no doubt last years before failing. Tridaptor - Linear screw "vice" Pros; Large wide clamps that are constructed at a 90 degree angle to accommodate most phones (mine is an iPhone 16 in a military grade protective case) The phone feels secure inside the cradle with no chance of slipping. Cons; The linear screw vice is slower (initially) while placing the phone into the cradle. However, you can leave the phone cradle open to your phone size and the time to remove and reinstall it would be minimal. The real con here is that the Tridaptor lacks a stop at the bottom which is an excellent feature of the SV214 Pro. In conclusion, both products performed very well and with the remote shutter that comes with each model, taking vibration free pictures is both fun and easy. However, like most things in the world we live in, cost can be a strong motivating factor. My conclusion is, if you can afford the Tridaptor adaptor, it may very well be the last product of this type you'll ever purchase. It's very well built and engineered. Although it can accommodate a telescope lens up to 2-Inches (60.96mm) it is lighter (by 4 oz.) than even the smaller version of the SV214 Pro. This is at the cost of not having the bottom stop in the phone cradle however. Regardless, if all you'll be doing is taking an occasional photo of the moon, a planet or that rare shot of your favorite birds gathered around the feeder. In my opinion, the SV214 Pro will serve that purpose well, this and you can add that savings to the purchase of another high quality lens. Because after all, at the end of the day, it is looking through the lens and seeing those red belted clouds on Jupiter or the craters on earth's moon that gives us pause.

This is a great product and very well made. Worth every penny, easy to use, holds your phone and whatever viewing device you're using firmly so you don't wind up dropping or breaking anything. After playing around with cheap plastic setups for several years I decided to step up and try something better. I've dropped my phone a few times and also had My phone slide out of alignment while taking photos which is very aggravating. Even using a Bluetooth shutter button I still had problems. This device locks in place and stays where you put it. Easy to set up and fine-tune the alignment of the phone with the viewing device. Machine quality components that are accurate and very easy to use. Now that I know I can take better quality photos and it's easier to set up I will be looking into purchasing a telescope. I've currently been using a monocular which takes pretty decent shots but now I'm hooked and I want to get better quality and closer photos of the moon and celestial objects. Don't settle for something cheap, spend a few extra bucks, you won't regret it! I am super happy with this product and it will serve me for many many years! My phone is Samsung a35. I have a silicone case on it and even with that I had room to spare in the clamp that holds the phone.

Sturdiness, ease of use, and compatibility to phone and telescope fantasitic.
