I purchased this so I could mount my iPhone on the spotting scope I use at the gun range so I didn't have to keep getting up from my shooting position to verify the impact point of my previous shot. I have come to love this adapter, it works perfectly but at first I found the case I keep my phone in it would slide a bit after a while and the lens would move out of line from the phones camera. but I found if I put a thin strip of rubber between the phone and the adapter it doesn't move all day even in the summer heat and humidity.
Aside from the one small issue I listed above the adapter is well built using metal and plastic parts, sitting on a bench for hours hanging from a scope none of the screws back out and I've seen no signs of wear or fatigue in all the months I've been using it, it sill looks as good as the day I got it from 鶹.
The first couple times you use it you will have issues learning how to line up the phones camera to the scope and that you have to zoom a little bit on the camera to get the scope picture maximized on screen. I'm not sure if it's the same for telescopes but on my spotting scope the zoom ring is where it's grabbing onto the eye piece so if I put it on wrong the weight of the phone will actually zoom out the scope small thing but just remember to mount it in a way that gravity won't affect your scope.
Oh and if you are using a phone like I am, get an external battery power pack to plug your phone into I leave the phone on almost all the time I'm on the range (4-5 hours) and having the camera up and slightly zoomed in uses a lot of power so just a heads up.
Would I buy this again, yes I would I have actually pointed out this mount to other members of my gun club who like how having a camera on the scope is a really nice thing to have.
