The Novagrade is the best I’ve used. I’m done with Phone Skope.

I use this one.

Buy once, cry once. No need to start all over again every time you upgrade your phone. The quality is outstanding.

Kingston, this is what I have been looking for. I see they also make adapters for the DSLR Cameras. Excellent one stop shopping here.

Thanks for the heads up.

Tried the Carson. Sucked.

Phoneskope was ok until I got a different case for my phone.

Set it up, don’t gorilla tighten anything down—just snug. I ran into this product at SHOT 2019. I was adamant about them letting me set it up with my iPhone 10s. Tired of endless internet promises and smoke and mirrors, I wanted to do it from start to finish. I spent a bunch of time with them. I’ve got pictures showing the spotting scope with tripod attached being picked up by the NovaGrade mount. I should have taken video. I’ll do a write up at some point.

Yup, which is why I went to the Celestron.

So sell me on the Celestron.

The price is great, but set up looks like it'd take three days to get things perfect.

Maybe I'm wrong?

IME it only takes a few seconds to set up, and is a pretty sturdy unit compared to others I’ve used. Initial setup takes a few extra seconds, but not bad at all.

So, once set up, it's easy on and off?

Yup.

The NovaGrade is likely better (I haven’t tried it), but more $.

Kingston, thank this is exactly what I need to know I don't want to buy more than once and the Nova looks likely to work with most any phone one gets. MB

Jordan,

Great recommendation on a well built yet inexpensive piece of gear. Got mine from B&H photo and it’s simple and easy to set up. Very repeatable as well.

Thumbs way up.

I am still leaning to the KOWA scope with a 45 deg eyepiece of either 20 to 60 zoom or a straight 27 x fixed power, the NOVA grade mount. Probably an Android phone, recommendations? MB
