Homemade mobile phone adapter (1 Viewer)

I made a lash up adapter from recycled foam to hold my HTC Desire steady on Leica 77. Using the adapter improved results. I now have a pocketable record taker when out and about. Anyone made anything similar, or is there a good commercial adapter out there?

Many thanks for posting about this. I’ve been racking my brains for some time now trying to come up with a way of attaching an iPhone 4 to my Leica eyepieces. I don’t have the 20x, unfortunately, just the zoom & the 32x, & have managed a few good shots of inanimate objects by holding the camera to the eyepiece but have found it a very fiddly business.

Please keep us posted on any further developments. I’ll do the same in the (very unlikely) event I’m able to improve on your setup.
 
Will keep you updated

Thanks for your interest. If I develop further I will keep you posted.
