Homemade Adapter for Samsung Galaxy S2
I wanted a dead simple, minimum size and weight, extremely easy adaptor to fit my Samsung Galaxy S11 to my Swarovski AT80 HD to take fairly decent bird records pics.
Finding nothing on the market that met my requirements I made my own.
Here's what I came up with..
Costing me £7 quid to buy flexible epoxy, £7 to buy an extra back battery cover for phone and £2.49 for android camera app "Phoneskope" (not absolutely nessessay) and 3 hours of my time (Curing time of epoxy not included)
It takes me less than 5 seconds to fit the adapted back to phone before I go out birding (still allowing phone to function perfectly normally) and less than 10 seconds to fit phone securely on scope with virtually no vignetting ready to take pic. 2 seconds to remove phone.
Works great.. taking full advantage of the phone's massive screen.
