- tridaptor - Universal Phone Scope Digiscoping Adapter|High-Precision XYZ Metal Telescope Mount 3-Axis Smartphone Holder for Spotting Scope Monocular Binos|Fits All Cell Phone Camera/Max 2.4" Eyepiece

This seems to be mostly geared towards use on telescopes, but I use it on my microscope eyepiece and it works like a charm. Much better than the cheap plastic phone to microscope adaptors I’ve used before. It’s worth paying a bit more for a better product. It’s solid metal and feels very sturdy. Very easy to use.

Works great. Has knobs for fine tuning and the pictures are awesome

While this would probably work very well for 99% of the scopes out there I own a 1% unit. It works great on my wife’s Vortex diamond back, my SV bony 405 works also, but the Vortex Razor with the standard eyepiece not so good. The combination of the material that the eyepiece is covered in and the location of the eyecup conspires to make mounting difficult, and keeping the adapter parallel almost impossible. It does however works perfect with the fixed power wide angle lens that Vortex sells as an accessory. It’s a universal mount and that usually means some units won’t work well, and with my luck I’ve got such a unit. I can not say enough about build quality. You definitely get what you pay for. All metal, no machine marks left behind, smooth controls. I would definitely give it a try, and with amazons great return policy, if you have a 1 percenter scope like me, you can return it. I’m keeping mine for my other scopes. One other note is that I have a cheap plastic adapter that is suppose to do the same thing and it doesn’t work either, and in fact it makes the problem worse.

This is a great product and very well made. Worth every penny, easy to use, holds your phone and whatever viewing device you're using firmly so you don't wind up dropping or breaking anything. After playing around with cheap plastic setups for several years I decided to step up and try something better. I've dropped my phone a few times and also had My phone slide out of alignment while taking photos which is very aggravating. Even using a Bluetooth shutter button I still had problems. This device locks in place and stays where you put it. Easy to set up and fine-tune the alignment of the phone with the viewing device. Machine quality components that are accurate and very easy to use. Now that I know I can take better quality photos and it's easier to set up I will be looking into purchasing a telescope. I've currently been using a monocular which takes pretty decent shots but now I'm hooked and I want to get better quality and closer photos of the moon and celestial objects. Don't settle for something cheap, spend a few extra bucks, you won't regret it! I am super happy with this product and it will serve me for many many years! My phone is Samsung a35. I have a silicone case on it and even with that I had room to spare in the clamp that holds the phone.

This is an excellent product fabricated from Aluminum with tons of versatility and easy to set up and use. I unboxed mine and within 5 minutes, while filming for my YT channel, I was able to capture quality images on my Samsung cell phone. I had purchased another product for about half the price and sent it back after fussing with it for 30 minutes. This TRIDAPTOR high precision phone adapter is well worth the extra cost, believe me you won’t be disappointed. I use it with my FEEMIC monocular with great results

This review is going to be a long one because when it comes to astro or terrestrial photography, even with a mobile phone, you want the best your money can buy. However, what may cost more may not always be what's best for our personal needs... I really like the Tridaptor Universal Phone Mount from Move Shoot Move. My reason for giving the product 3 stars instead of 5 is solely based on the cost. The nearest competitor for this product is the Svbony SV214 Pro which is also a 3-Axis phone mount, and like the Tridaptor, is constructed of high quality aluminum. Both products operate the same way, however the SV214 is 45% - 50% less in cost depending on taxes and shipping in your area. The cost may be slightly more or less but these numbers are within 2-3% at the time of this writing. I purchased both products to perform a side by side comparison, the following are my unbiased findings. Material; SV214 Pro (Aluminum) Tridaptor (Aluminum) Adjustments; SV214 Pro (3 Axis) Tridaptor (3 Axis) Ease of use; Both products hold the telescope lens in a linear screw "vice" style clamp that in turn connects to your telescope or other viewing device. The linear clamp (top side screw) on the SV214 Pro is secured from the top of the clamp as well as the bottom giving it a more precision feel. The Tridaptor clamp is only secured on the bottom and is to lose (wobbly). In my opinion, the potential for uneven horizontal pressure on the lens is a valid concern. I contacted Move Shoot Move regarding the lens clamp, their response is that it is "normal." It is worth noting, both clamps work, I would just expect more from a product that is constructed and designed so well in the other key areas, and as noted, uneven horizontal pressure on the telescopes lens gives reason to take more precautions while setting the phone mount up. Lens size accommodation; SV214 Pro - Two models, 28mm to 48mm and 44mm 64mm (Add 5 dollars US for the larger model) Tridaptor - 28mm - 60.96mm Phone Clamp (Cradle) SV214 Pro; Spring Loaded, Pros; Fast, you simply push your phone against the spring side of the phone cradle and slide your phone into place. The SV214 also has a "stop" at the bottom of the phone cradle making it easier to realign the phone when it is removed and reinstalled. Cons; The clamps are small and angled so there is less of the phone surface touching the clamps. Because the clamps on the SV214 Pro are spring loaded, this could cause slipping in newer phones that are constructed with 90 degree right angles. Another concern would be the spring itself, over time it will lose its ability to hold the phone tightly in the cradle and the part cannot be easily replaced if at all. This notwithstand, the spring is made of high quality metal and will no doubt last years before failing. Tridaptor - Linear screw "vice" Pros; Large wide clamps that are constructed at a 90 degree angle to accommodate most phones (mine is an iPhone 16 in a military grade protective case) The phone feels secure inside the cradle with no chance of slipping. Cons; The linear screw vice is slower (initially) while placing the phone into the cradle. However, you can leave the phone cradle open to your phone size and the time to remove and reinstall it would be minimal. The real con here is that the Tridaptor lacks a stop at the bottom which is an excellent feature of the SV214 Pro. In conclusion, both products performed very well and with the remote shutter that comes with each model, taking vibration free pictures is both fun and easy. However, like most things in the world we live in, cost can be a strong motivating factor. My conclusion is, if you can afford the Tridaptor adaptor, it may very well be the last product of this type you'll ever purchase. It's very well built and engineered. Although it can accommodate a telescope lens up to 2-Inches (60.96mm) it is lighter (by 4 oz.) than even the smaller version of the SV214 Pro. This is at the cost of not having the bottom stop in the phone cradle however. Regardless, if all you'll be doing is taking an occasional photo of the moon, a planet or that rare shot of your favorite birds gathered around the feeder. In my opinion, the SV214 Pro will serve that purpose well, this and you can add that savings to the purchase of another high quality lens. Because after all, at the end of the day, it is looking through the lens and seeing those red belted clouds on Jupiter or the craters on earth's moon that gives us pause.

Sturdiness, ease of use, and compatibility to phone and telescope fantasitic.

OVERALL Rating: Upon purchase, I didn't realize the heft (strength, construction & materials used) of this device. Upon receipt, and feeling the quality of construction, I felt right off this would not disappoint. FEATURES: Ease of use: Very simple design with straight-forward observation and use of adjustment knobs. Combining aluminum and steel together to perfect a working mechanism, that operates flawlessly, is great. The "auger" mechanisms are finely threaded providing minute adjustments without the "jumping & skipping" as found on some devices. I have an iPhone XR with a case attached. This tridapter indicates it will hold up to 90 mm wide phone. I was skeptical about my phones case width but, the tridapter opens approximately 3mm wider than my phones/case, easily accepting that width. Quality of Material: I was about to purchase a less expensive device but I noticed it was made of "composite materials" and, having experienced these types of materials in the past and the ease of damage to them, I opted for this Tridapter constructed of aluminum for secure purposes. It is somewhat heavier than the composites, but, I prefer rigidity over less substantial materials that I feel wouldn't hold up over the long run. This Tridapter easily and without damage, fits over the 38mm eyepiece of my spotting scope without crushing the rubber eyepiece and allows for the minute adjustments while also allowing me to increase or decrease power settings without having to remove the tridapter but is not overburdenly heavy as to hinder scope operations and movements. Sturdiness: With an all-metal construction, steel and aluminum, this tridapter could not be any more sturdy. In my personal opinion, this device reminds me of the M-14 rifle I was issued in boot camp in 1971 -- very intricate piece of equipment and built like a Sherman tank. As stated, I see this tridapter going the distance for a very long time to come without fail. The only thing I can think of, is that over time and use, if a person utilizes this tridapter frequently, it likely will require a small drop of lubrication on the adjustment screws; this however, would only be expected and is in no way a default. I would HIGHLY recommend this item to anyone seeking a similar device for digiscoping. As my headline reads: this is a PERFECT complement for digiscoping.
