Discover the universe in a whole new way with our Basic Smartphone Adapter, 1.25". This innovative accessory is designed to transform your smartphone into a powerful imaging tool, enabling you to capture stunning images of celestial and terrestrial objects. Constructed with a lightweight yet sturdy frame, this smartphone adapter is compatible with any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45mm or smaller. It offers the unique ability to connect your smartphone to your telescope, unlocking the potential to photograph the breathtaking beauty of the Moon, planets, and beyond. The additional magnification provided by the telescope eyepiece enhances your phone's imaging capabilities, allowing you to capture high-quality, detailed images that are sure to impress. Installation is a breeze with this smartphone adapter. It securely clamps over the top of the eyepiece, holding your smartphone in the perfect position for optimal imaging. The adapter features tightening knobs that ensure your phone is securely locked in place, providing stability and peace of mind during your stargazing sessions. Please note that larger or bulkier phone cases, including folio style cases, may need to be removed to ensure a proper fit in the adapter. With the Basic Smartphone Adapter, 1.25", you can explore the cosmos from the comfort of your own backyard.

The device is so set up that clamping it around my cellphone presses on the volume control when the phone camera is centered over the eyepiece.  My remedy for this is to machine away a portion of the right-hand clamping mechanism.  Alternatively, the slot that permits adjustment in up-and down direction with respect to the camera lens could be machined out.
The three-clamping-screw layout of the gadget enables it to flop around worse than a dead chicken.

Other than these deficiencies, it seems a sturdy gadget.

It has some problems.  Not Plug-and-play.

I liked the ability to use even a 2" telescope eyepiece to take a very steady picture of the Moon!  A solid product by Celestron and easy to use!

Celestron Basic SmartPhone Camera Adapter

It came on time and is exactly what I ordered.  Thanks.

Good experience

It is great for it's purpose.  Even though I have a large camera it was just nice to have this attachment to use my Iphone with.  Handy.

Handy tool to have!

Not worth the money

Great

Hard to use effectively

Very awkward to use; not at all useful.  Slow and difficult to set up, difficult to position correctly.  Not worth the money.
