pretty well made works good

Very versatile. I tried it on my Celestron Ultima 80 spotting scope when target shooting. My LG G4 phone can see and photograph .223" holes (5.56 mm) at 200 yards (180 m). I'll try longer distances when I get better and have clearer weather. And I got a feature I hadn't even noticed in the description: it has a 1/4 - 20 threaded hole, so I can mount my phone on a tripod via this adapter when not using it on a 'scope.I wish the sidewalls of the clamp were higher, though. I have a protective case on the G4, and the combination is too thick (13 mm) for the clamp to securely hold. I cheated and carved most of the cushioning out of the clamp, and it works fine now. I don't miss the padding, because the clamp is against the back of my phone case, where I'm not worried about the unlikely possibility of a scratch.A note about this combination of Gosky clamp, G4, and spotting scope. Any vibration through such high magnification makes the image jump wildly, enough to make you seasick. I can still get some clear photos, but not every time. Lacking a heavy, sturdier tripod, I make use of the G4's voice activation. It make look strange at the rifle range, leaning over my scope and saying, "Cheese!", but that activates the phone's shutter without touching anything. No vibration! The G4's power and volume buttons are on the back, so I don't have to worry about the clamp pressing them.Mounting is pretty simple: lay the phone face down and clamp the Gosky onto it. Arrange the eyepiece clamp to be centered over the phone's camera lens. Adjust the focus on you telescope or spotting scope. Put the Gosky over your device's eyepiece and clamp it on, then fine-adjust the position between the two clamp assemblies to get the best image on your screen. Unless your tripod is solid concrete, your phone will weigh down the back of the scope and make it point up more. Reposition it.I had confusing results at first: good image on the screen, but the photo turned out mostly black. Turned out the camera was trying to take a flash picture inside the rubber eyepiece! Turning the flash off fixed it.Remember that if you change the view to something nearer or farther, you'll need to refocus the scope. The camera's autofocus can't compensate for a scope that's out of focus.UPDATE 11/9/16: The two samples here are the same photo: a full-frame version to show what my cell phone produced, but reduced to only 1.6 MP for quick uploading and viewing, and a cropped version of just the eagle, left at full resolution. The spotting scope has a very shallow depth of field, so only the bird's back and a few twigs are sharply focused. I wanted to get the eye sharpest, but I was in a hurry. The eagle was nervous about my being there beside the road, and if I took too long perfecting the shot, I might have been left with a photo of perfectly sharp, but empty branches.

The media could not be loaded. My son and I have been using the Gorsky adaptor for two weeks now and once you get the hang of it, you won’t regret your purchase. It’s amazing how often one of us wants to share what we’ve found on a scope, only to have it bumped and become misaligned – Not anymore. Now once we find the general area where our specimens reside, we mount the Gosky and both of us have a real-time view!Quality is amazing, with solid aluminum, steel and ridged plastic construction, with padded mounts for your phone and eyepieces, it should last for years.Mounting the device is simple enough, though for smaller eyepieces I found the mount loose – at no fault to the adaptor. This is easily remedied by inserting a folded business card or tissue between the mount and the eyepiece.At first you may struggle getting any image at all until you figure out that you need to take into account all three axes. You not only have to align your phone with the eyepiece, you must also adjust the pitch, roll, and yaw until you have a centered image. Distance from the eyepiece also matters and depending on the optics, you may find better results having the adaptor’s clamp flush with the edge of the eyepiece, leaving a gap between the phone’s camera and the eyepiece, or a closer mount may work better.Once everything is adjusted, don’t be surprised if the image is not as bright or as large as what you would see using just your eyes – typically you’ll see the circular image taking up a small fraction of the screen. Once again, no fault to the adaptor – this is purely a result of using a phone camera in a manner it wasn’t intended to be used. Zooming in on the image does a good job at using your screen real-estate.Locking the focus of your camera will also prevent image fluctuation, though it tends to darken the view. Adjust the image brightness accordingly.The video and images below were taken with an iPhone 5 at 4x and 10x using the My First Lab Duo-Scope Microscope - MFL-06 available here on Amazon. You'll note that you don't need a professional level microscope to see the paramecium and amoebas. I also mounted it on our Kyowa Lumiscope 6TI5T6 microscope (which has fantastic optics and fine-control) and on a small telescope- no issues.I’d love it if there was a deluxe model that had would have knobs to allow you to fine-tune the pitch, roll, and yaw of the camera placement, though that might make it too bulky as well as a lower clamp to record your cell phone’s position, making future use a drop and load.Supplemental software would also work wonders – something that would allow you to broadcast to your computer a real-time feed of what your phone is capturing. (If anyone knows of such a product for iOS, please reply in the comments!)

No me parecieron tan faciles para maniobrar.

Fit my iPhone 13 and PVS 14 perfectly. Snapped a few very nice pics at night.
