📱 Carson HookUpz 2.0 Universal Smartphone Optics Digiscoping Adapter IS-200 for Enhanced Binoculars, Spotting Scopes, Telescopes, Microscopes, Monoculars, and More Review

Works very well with a Vortex Razor HD 20-60x85 Spyglass (previous generation, not current 27-60x85) with my old Samsung Galaxy S5 in a Magpul case. I don't really give five stars unless something really exceeds expectations, but this thing works well.

While I liked the design, it just doesn't grip the eyepiece tight enough to hold the iPhone in place. I've tried different positions but the weight of the phone (iPhone 7 and now iPhone 11) causes it to sag and lose the position you put it in. I took some pictures with it over Celestron 8" but I had to hold the end of the phone and get them just right.

persist after breaking again Well made, sturdy. compact, light. easy Requires some learning, instructions for the less daring. or less patience does what it promises, slightly more expensive than other smartphone and eyepiece connectors, but uses levers and clips instead of screws. Okay, a screw for vertical positioning of the smartphone. I have a larger LG smartphone. fits perfectly. Thank you, I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

Very impressed. Well made plastic but good plastic and very sturdy and sturdy. I also have a Gosky metal mount. It works, but it's a lot harder to set up, and it can't be done quickly like in this case. There really isn't much of a learning curve. So quick and so easy to set up. Some great thoughts went into it. From what I've read online this new model has taken care of any complaints some owners had with the first model. I suppose it's pricey, but I think the ingenuity and ease of use are…

Overall I think this is a decent product. So far I've only used it with a Vortex Razor 20-60 x 85mm spotting scope. The eyepiece attachment barely has enough freedom of movement to attach the Vortex eyepiece, but it holds my iPhone 6 in place. The smartphone clips are fairly intuitive to use, but the device is mostly plastic so there is some play in it, meaning the phone can easily get out of perfect alignment with the scope. The main reason I gave this product 3 stars instead of 4 wasn't clear

I'm always looking for the perfect digiscoping adapter. Looks like it will be a cat meow for digiscoping. But for me it wasn't. The eyepiece grips did not open wide enough for the Vortex Viper eyepiece to fit. I was able to put it on the eyepiece by rocking it back and forth, but when I took it off the rubber protectors came loose. And even though it was on the Vortex eyepiece, it just wasn't mounted securely enough to make the necessary adjustments for photography. The whole block is plastic…

When I first received it I wanted to return it as the bottom was loose and dangling when locked in the eyepiece. I realized there is a very small hex bolt I could tighten and after that it was very strong. It is easy to align and make small adjustments once secured in the eyepiece. I find this helpful and recommend having a dedicated eyepiece so I can attach the adapter to the eyepiece before mounting it to the telescope so I can be sure everything is aligned and secure. I have to squeeze the…

This adapter is a great way to hold back if you're unsure about investing in the right camera. It's incredibly functional and easy to use. Overall, I'm impressed with the thoughtfulness and adaptability of the design, and it seems like Carson's claims that it will work with almost any phone and lens are true. Pros: Works well with my dual camera phone. I think even multi-camera phones like the iPhone 11 pro max will work. Easy alignment. Reliable attachment. I can really shake the binoculars…

I use this adapter with LG G8 and Celestron 8x42 adjustable eye relief binoculars. I used to have one of those binocular/phone adapters with metal screws and they were useless and unusable. I haven't had a chance to use it outdoors yet, but I tested it indoors. It looks pretty intimidating at first, but once you figure out that the 3 adjustable elements are 2 clips and a tension spring (phone holder width adjustment) it's pretty easy, especially since there's a cutout for the camera…
