SEEKONE Universal Phone Bracket Mount Adapter Smartphone Holder

GREAT BIT OF KIT

I got this to use with my Celestron 76mm reflector scope. It was a little bit fiddly at first, and took a lot of trial and error to get it right, but once I figured it out I've been getting great results with my Google Pixel 2. I found the best way to use it is to attach it to the eyepiece first, away from the telescope. Point the eyepiece towards a light source so you can clearly see the circle of light, then use this take make adjustments to the phone position. You also may find you need to angle the phone in slightly to get properly aligned. I highly recommend using a decent manual camera app on your phone for this rather than the standard camera app that comes with your phone. Set focus to infinity, and use the focus knobs on your telescope. You will probably need to digital zoom in a little bit too, or crop the final picture, as you will get some vignetting in the picture from the telescope tube itself. For the price I think this is a good product. I've been able to get some good pictures on my phone through the scope, including some really nice ones of the moon which my friends have been very complimentary about. This is of course nowhere near as good as properly mounting a DSLR camera etc., but for a bit of basic phone astrophotography it's great. I also use this mount outside of astronomy for other types of photography and vlogging. It's just a handy attachment to have in my camera bag. Bonus.

Probably OK for smaller phones, but pixel 6 is little to big and heavy for it

Fiddly to set up but I knew that would be the case anyway with this type of thing so can't be negative about that. The issue is when you tighten it onto your phone. There are two rubber protectors that clamp down onto your phone, but they just deform and force themselves off the phone holder as you tighten, causing your expensive phone to fall to the floor if you're not careful. S21 in my case. If the rubber end were fixed securely to the mount i'm sure it would make a huge improvement. Tried once, then returned.

Doesn't hold phone well, slipped out and broke phone case, do not set up on hard floor

Works well and a good price. Bought as my grandson had trouble looking down the eyepiece as he kept knocking the telescope so it's been a good buy

First observation is that it is not a metal clamp as per the photo. Second comment is that it does seem to work, but for my phone and binoculars with long eye relief, it was tricky to get everything aligned. I expect all these similar brackets would be the same. It should serve the purpose and be a bit of an improvement over hand holding, but less effective than I had hoped.

Pour ma part c'est zéro : Pas pratique du tout, les vis qui s'enlèvent, le caoutchouc d'une des pattes du support qui n'arrête pas de se retirer... Je m'arrêterais là.

Passt

It's ok but not spectacular. Searching with the telescope when this thing is connected is not easy and while adjusting the phone everything moves a bit so you loose sight again 😐

Niet tevreden, product aangekocht en Amazone tracking geeft aan dit niet te zullen leveren! Wat nu?

weak, unstable construction. hard to get it perfect. phone comes off easily.
