NexYZ DX Smartphone Adapter

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.

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..

Tricky to place on my phone on. One you get it, the phone stays in place. I attached my first picture taken on the phone using this attachment with my telescope.

Good points: Simple design compatible with almost any scope and phone. Main frame is metal and solid. Quite steady. Takes decent photos. (See below, I was really pleased). Phone clamp has foam cushioning and holds phone well. Same brand as my binoculars. Bad points: The big issue for me is that the natural place for it to clamp my iPhone, (both a 12 and a 16), in a vertical position (as per instructions) is where the power button/volume controls are. So I have to clamp to one eyepiece and photograph through the other. Less steady and safe. Phone clamp is only plastic and cracked when I dropped it-it did glue very neatly though, and I’ve had no more problems. Very fiddly to set up just right, but quite steady when set. Quite big with all the screws and clamps poking out.

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.

I was really looking forward to trying this item on my telescope(not tried on any other instrument), so it's a shame that for me at least it is absolutely useless. Firstly it is pretty well built and looks like it could last a lot of uses. But because of the way the phone sits in the cradle and most phones have the camera at the top, it will always be unbalanced, so the jaws cannot hold the phone in position on the eyepiece properly. Also despite using the adjustment to move the phone camera nearer or further away from the eyepiece, my phone nearly always says " move away to focus". Maybe it would work if you have manual focus on your phone but mine doesn't.

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.

good

I could secure my phone over the eyepiece of my telescope without breaking any sweat.

Utilisé sur Jumelle astro (sur trépieds) et télescope (sur des oculaires 1,25" via l'un des deux adaptateurs complémentaires inclus) avec un iPhone 13 Pro, je dois reconnaître que si cela demande plus de manipulations qu'avec un adaptateur T2 pour appareil photo (qu'il suffit de visser), cela n'en demeure pas moins génial. Les optiques sur smartphones sont de petit diamètre, et selon le modèle, elles ne sont pas placées au même endroit, et pire maintenant, les smartphones en ont plusieurs. Cela a pour conséquence de demander un peu de réglage préalable: - Choisir l'objectif du smartphone à aligner avec l'oculaire (quand il y en a plusieurs) - Trouver le réglage du logiciel de photo du smartphone permettant d'utiliser l'objectif en question - Aligner précisément (dans les 3 directions) l'objectif et l'oculaire Cela implique de passer un peu de temps la première fois en pointant sur un objet fixe et suffisamment lumineux (pour ne pas en plus galérer avec la mise au point logicielle du smartphone). Ensuite, il devient possible de faire de très belles photos souvenirs. Je n'ai pas encore regardé s'il est possible de procéder comme avec une caméra astro pour faire de l'empilement, mais déjà, pour quelques euros, on est en capacité de faire facilement des photos lunaires, planétaires, d'observation en journée, etc. Je n'ai pas encore eu de ciel suffisamment clair pour essayer sur des amas stellaires. Je pense que pour une utilisation avec un smartphone (solution "cheap" donc), c'est déjà très très bien ! J'ai apprécié la qualité générale de l'objet (pas de jeux sur les éléments mobiles, facilité et précision des réglages, possibilité de ne pas dérégler entre 2 utilisations. Franchement, c'est top !

Eine topqualität.

Llevo dos semanas usando este soporte y me ha ayudado mucho, también para mejorar mi equipo. Es una buena compra si quieres mejorar el equipo de tu telescopio.👍👍👍
