Meade Instruments, 608007 Smart Phone Adapter for All Telescopes, Black

Meade has quality products in every thing they release.

Great tech

Simple to use, but the kids need a little help mounting it.

Not so happy

This is a very cheap, inaccurate and frustrating product. I returned it and got an Orion Steadypix instead. The Orion is far superior mechanically and really easy to use. Stay away from this cheap junk.

great

Taking pictures of images from a telescope with a smartphone is very difficult. Its hard to do when you don't have a way to keep the phone steady. I got this for my Meade telescope and I was able to produce awesome shots of the moon. Like anything else, it took some getting used to. the best result I had is when I framed the picture, I used the timer feature on my phone (to wait for the vibration to stop and turned off the flash). I showed the picture of the lunar craters of the moon to all my friends and they were impressed! For the price of $25, can't beat it.

Cumbersome to set up and adjust to line up properly and attach to the telescope. I never got it to work. The phone kept coming loose and misaligned.
