As I'm very used to digiscoping, and also love to see bird through binocular than takeming photoes with Camera, I only use my bino and my phone (Samsung galaxy s21) in birding.

Impressive as getting the right lens both centred and the right distance to get the full field correctly is not easy. I’ll have to try and see how I get on, the adapter I have (move-shoot-move) is pretty solid, but isn’t light and still flexes a little.

how to get a whole circle right not only depends on digiscoping skills but also have some relation with bino eyecups too. and even the thickness of the phone case.
for example, my phone get a whole circle with EL 10x32 with eyecup fully extended, but for nl 10x32, I have to leave one click less to have full circle.
and for victory SF 10x42, I have to take off my phone case for clean circle.

having the right point for lenses is critical. not only It influence the right circle, but also color contrast, CA, light leakage.
 
I'll never even give it a think of doing that :)
as I'm not used to write on bridforum, I have to struggle many times even posting 20 photoes... :(
 
Very nice pictures! Impressive skills, I can barely get the phone aligned to the eyepiece holding it with my hand, and when I get it aligned, you don't see the whole circle. To see the full circle I have to switch to the wide angle camera that doesn't have the same resolution.
Maybe you could post a link to a google drive folder with the pics to not have problems with this website. Have you taken other pictures through other brands of binoculars? It would be interesting to see if it is possible to spot differences between brands/models, like the differences in color, edge blurriness (although, the phone's focal lenght might be much smaller than the eye, so that's why we see everything at focus in the pictures), etc.
 
yes I have use many brand for digiscoping such as nikon, swarovski, Leica, Kowa, fujinon and more now always, but some time you can able feel the individual bino's own coloring.
after zeiss part 3, I'm planning to post other binos.
two main bino I use is swarovski and zeiss. so they have more to post than other brands

diffrence of CA, distortion, edge sharpness can be easily noticed in photoes that in eyes. but we have to cautious of it because camera can exaggerate the amount of abberation.
so I do bino review mainly with my own eyes but use some photos for little reference
