iPhone 15 Digiscoping with ATX Swarovski (1 Viewer)

[NoelH1965]

Hi all,
I have been recommended to use the Swarovski VPA2 phone adapter with a CA-S clamp for my iPhone 15 . My question is that the aperture on the adapter seems very small for the 3 lens on the phone. Has anybody got experience ? Good or bad ? Thank you

The phone will only use one camera at a time, so the aperture is fine.

Thank you , I didn’t realise they could be used individually. Appreciate the input

.. but you will find that if you try and pinch zoom on the iPhone (using the native camera app) at some point the screen will blank because it's switched to a different lens. Some of the available apps - specifically the PhoneSkope one, prevents this happening in software. I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro (which has 3 lenses) and tend to use the PhoneSkope app as my default, although the MagView app is also useful for aligning the phone to the camera as it features a central dot which you can use to guide the phone/adapter combination into position when setting up the rig. One issue with the MagView app which I've found is that it doesn't work with either of my 2 Bluetooth remote shutter releases (which are really helpful in eliminating camera shake caused by physically pressing the phone's shutter button).
