Phoneskope adapter with Iphone 6 (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I recently upgraded my phone to an Iphone 6 and decided to have a bash at phonescoping with my Leica Televid 77 APO. I bought the adapters from phoneskope and while at first glance they can seem expensive, they are made in the USA and are high quality items.

When fitted, there is no movement and by using the earphone cable as a shutter release, very clear photo's can be taken. I have never been interested in photography before, but this setup allows even a novice like me to take really great close ups of birds. the camera on the Iphone 6 is really good and takes no setting up at all. Just push on to the eyepiece and take a photo, brilliant. Highly recommend.

Swarovsky 95ATX + PhoneSkope + Note 4

the PhoneSkope is an awesome product.
Attached is an example using the PhoneSkope with the Swarobsky 95mm and my Note 4.
I didn't buy the PhoneSkope for the Swarovsky though, it was bought to use with a Minox M 50.
Here is a link to a photo done with that combo (I would load the pic here but it is just too laborious
under this forums restrictions when I can simply link to Flickr)

Better yet, look at the robin on the fence on the phone's screen, this via the Minox M 50 and the Note 4.

The robin is over 30 yards away.
Obviously no comparison between the Swarovsky and the Minox, but which you rather carry for 5 miles?
