Maybe it’s the adapter I used, but i always seemed to have difficulty getting my adapter on my scope without messing up what the scope was aimed at.

I’ve been meaning to take the time to learn to digiscope freehand/without an adapter. Some people are really adept at it!

The Novagrade works with phones
both with and without cases. The PhoneSkope I'd used only worked
without a case on only one model phone.

Good Birding,

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.

Finally I am going to get a digiscope attachment for my good
but older Zeiss spotting scope. What brand and model do those users out
there recommend.
Thanks.
