Celestron81055 NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter, Patented Design - Works with Telescopes, Spotting Scopes, Binoculars, Monoculars and Microscopes, Black

This is a great device. Yes it is a bit tricky to set up, but one you have it on it does make it very easy to get better pictures than you would just hand holding. Biggest issue is as you move it about to line it up, the iPhone keeps switching lenses, but you can get there. Attached are a couple of pictures. On is lemon cells and the other is grains of salt.The attachment is flexible and fits ok on the Apex, although as a binocular microscope the second eyepiece does make it slightly snug. The plastic adaptor fits well and the phone felt secure. Alignment movement feels pretty good, although a bit rougher than I expected. Overall I think it is well made and good quality..

Any observer with optics, preferably, on a stand will like this.Not cheap, but very well engineered.Robust. And if any axis feels a little slack, or too tight, there are small screws to adjust.Ensure your mount can take the weight of phone.As an astronomer, I found it helpful to attach to an eyepiece in daylight.The Z axis (up and down to the eyepiece), was easier than in the dark.Hope this helps.

The media could not be loaded. Very sturdy and holds well, once you have set it up a few times, it becomes really easy to use. I did adjust the slides to achieve a smoother action and placed a card shim under the rubber back to get a better alignment, but I'm fussy and you might not need or want to.Only downside, the additional weight of mount and phone unbalanced the scope mount but easy enough to account for.The pictures are of objects over 5 miles away

A sturdy, well made mobile phone attachment for a telescope, easy to use and a good fit. Value for money for the quality of this attachment.

It's been useless so far. Everything moves around too much, the joints wobble like crazy, making it impossible to take a picture. I couldn't even get my S24 Ultra lined up with the lens! I gave up using the mount in the end; it was easier to hold the camera in my hands. If I can fix it, I'll update my review.

Highly adjustable and well-engineered. Very quick to mount the phone, it grips well and is easy to position accurately. The friction of each individual axis can be increased with a small screw (separate from the main adjustment) to ensure the phone stays in place. So far I’ve only tried it with a pair of binoculars but it worked well. More expensive that many other mounts but you definitely get what you pay for.

The media could not be loaded. First the Pros: once set up - which is fiddly, but they all are - it works well and delivers acceptable pics. The example is a WO RedCat with a 12.5 mm StellaLyra eyepiece.But there are too many problems:1) The jaws don't open wide enough to accept typical 2" eyepieces, so it's effectively limited to smaller 1.25" eyepieces.2) It can be difficult to clamp the eyepiece tightly enough to prevent it slipping during use.3)The smartphone platform is not at 90° to the eyepiece's optical axis, producing kidney-beaning shadows on the images4) The smartphone platform wobbles when the Z-axis is at full extension. A longer rack on the Z axis would cure this.In all these cases, a cure would be to make the whole thing 50% bigger. The concept is good, and the materials are adequate but the execution is poor.

I'm glad I went with this model of phone mount. It is very sturdy, easy to use. Holds my phone well, Galaxy S24+, grips the phone well below the side buttons. I like the controls for adjusting x and y axis, makes positioning of the phone camera lens easy. The price was good too. Better to pay a little extra than buying a cheap mount which would be more difficult to use.
