Snapzoom Universal Digiscoping Adapter for iPhone and Android Smartphones. Compatible with Binoculars Microscopes Spotting Scopes and Telescopes.

Initially, I was skeptical about this product. However, it seems to work as described. It was easy to set up my iPhone 6 with this product after viewing their video on their website. It appears, however, that there are THREE challenges here. biggest problem is that the On/Off button is covered and inaccessible the entire time the thing is being Because the screen doesn't turn off until it runs out, it uses the battery up until then. Sadly, you can't do anything have to loosen the screw and slide the phone backwards so that you can reach the screen, and then you have to realign the phone after turning it back on. This is why you can't turn off the screen between pictures. In addition to this, it's rather awkward to hold the binoculars still and continuously push the button on the screen at the same time, resulting in some crooked shots. (Littler binoculars are probably easier to hold. The bird is gone by the time you have the binoculars attached, so you have to reattach it when you find it. A slow, clumsy process is involved in all of this.

This is a great idea. Buildings built by the Chinese at a low cost. In my opinion, $50 is about right. I'm going to tell you the truth. This is a piece of mediocre Chinese quality, and not built very tough. It's made of plastic and it's cheap The hardware is made of 304-grade steel. But it is not quite the type of toy that I would categorize as a toy. The reality is that if something has to be built well, a skilled worker needs to be paid a living wage to do The app will allow you to attach your phone to your binoculars, but it has a slow take on and take off time, so you won't be able to take photos of game within a few seconds of doing so. If you're going to take long-range, stationary shots at a distance, this is best used with the phone just attached to a tripod and left to take the photos. It took some people 20 minutes of trying and then giving up trying to adjust it. It would be a good idea if they had to lose their license if that is the case. The only adjustments that need to be made are three. This isn't that big of a Despite the lack of directions, my niece of 8 years old managed to do it. It is a disservice to others looking for honest reviews when this group of mechanically challenged people writes poor reviews. Additionally, I have used it to connect my IPhone X to a Swarovski EL 10x42 binocular and it works fine. I suspect it wouldn't last very long with We will not pass this trinket down to the next generation. The modern world is one where things are thrown away I don't work in an "away" society, but for $50 I can buy a bunch of cool videos of long range rifle shooting, or what have you.

I had a new pair of binoculars made by Nikon with a height-adjustable eyepiece lens purchased Snapzoom runs seamlessly on my computer since I have these installed. The item was brought from home with me to the store so I could make sure it fit fine (see It's important to note, I did not have time to properly adjust the Snapzoom at the store, but I still got some great pictures even with the less than ideal mounting. It is now a 5 star rating! Neither the build quality nor the instructions are great, but there is insufficient clearance between the focus plate and the outer portion of the eyepiece on binoculars that fit these instructions. Before you purchase this product, please be aware that if you own a pair of binoculars already, please make sure that at least 20mm of clearance exists between the focus plate (thing between your eyes) and the outer portion of the In the case of mounting it as shown in the pictures, you will not be able to get the Snapzoom to sit flush on the eyepiece. You will not be able to take usable pictures unless the camera can sit flush with the binocular eyepiece. *cough**cough*I'm planning on getting a new pair of binoculars (hoping for the clearance sale at this point) then updating my review from there. Since there is no documentation mentioning such an extreme distance, I rated it as three stars based on the fact that porro prism lens binoculars aren't recommended for such a distance because it can My camera does not seem to be able to attach to a single lens in a stable manner. Nevertheless, this may apply to any pair of binoculars. It would have been helpful to have a hard number of the sizes available.

In a nutshell, In addition to studying ceramic petrography, I had just set up my Snapzoom account believe it's a good product and especially useful during COVID There is a polarizing microscope and an iPhone X in my possession. In order to complete my studies, I needed to setup a home lab. It now takes me 3-5 hours to take pictures at home or none at all, instead of having access to a professional microscopic camera. I have been able to capture my research remotely with this device. A Symmetry Otterbox case and an IPhone XR are on my desk. There is not much room to move, but it fits. When you think your phone is wider than Snapzoom, measure the width of the case and the phone. With this device, your phone will keep its picture quality stable and steady. Attached to one Laborlux 11 Pol S's eye viewer, it provides an overview of the scene. If I connect my iPhone to the iPhone viewing screen while it is attached, I can adjust the magnification and rotate the stage as needed. The iPhone XR is a The best way to get the best picture quality was by using video. I tried different techniques and found that video provided the best color. It is still possible to zoom in a little more with a phone camera and still get an excellent photo. The iPhone XR's video capture will also capture the extinction of minerals without a drag if you rotate the stage slowly while recording. If you want a still shot, take a video and take a screenshot + crop from it. Images (XPL 4x and 10x) have been included so that you can see what I saw on my iPhone XR and decide whether or not the Snapzoom holder is necessary.
