This Konus Universal Adapter for Smartphones/Cameras is a system that consists of three main components: a camera platform, a camera platform extension, and a smartphone holder. Those three components can be variously configured to allow a point-and-shoot camera or a smartphone to use a telescope or spotting scope as a telephoto lens.
Featuring an adjustable clamp, the camera platform can be attached to a telescope or spotting scope eyepiece with a diameter of 29mm up to 44mm. A point-and-shoot camera with 1/4"-20 mounting threads can then be screwed onto the camera platform's mounting bolt, which can be moved a total of 38mm forwards or backwards. Additionally, a connected camera can be adjusted a total of 114mm upwards or downwards. This combination of horizontal and vertical movement, along with two selectable slots for the camera platform's mounting bolt, allows a connected camera's lens to be aimed into a spotting or telescope's eyepiece. For cameras that require up to 129mm of additional distance from an eyepiece to effectively digiscope, a camera platform extension is included that can be screwed onto the camera platform's mounting bolt, and has its own 1/4"-20 camera mount.
A smartphone holder is also included for digiscoping with wireless handheld devices. Two 1/4"-20 mounting bolts allow it to attach to the camera platform, the combination of which can accommodate a smartphone up to 58mm to 99mm high, and at least to 101mm wide when measured in a horizontal orientation.
