Questions & Answers

MICHAEL O : How does this item transmit the image to the iPhone? Is it wireless or wired?RICHARD S : It works pretty well for an Inexpensive item. You will have to take any protective case off your phone, and you should have some sort of timer to trip your phones camera shutter to,ensure you hold the phone as still as possible when you take your picture. It's worth a few dollars to mess around with.MARTINA M : The iPhone takes the picture. There is no transmission.RODDY L : There is no electronic transmission involved. The adapter is just a piece of plastic that holds your iPhone camera lens firmly over the eyepiece of a pair of binoculars so the enlarged image can be seen on your iPhone.KEVIN T : It doesn't transmit anything. It simply attaches your phone to your binoculars. Think of it as a separate lens on a camera.Smith, B : There is no lens on the carson hookupz simply it blocks all light and image other than what is transmitted through the binoculars, it is a great buyGARY R : Directly attached to iphone camera. Did not particularly like it.JERRY J : There is no transmission. The device simply aligns the cameras lens and holds the iphone. So the iPhone's camera can look through the eyepiece. And it works well. Once aligned I can look through the right eyepiece and click the picture. The phone captures it through the left.JOHN S : This is a phone holder with adapter to attach (hang off) one side the binocular. It positions the phone camera lens to line up with the optics from the binocular.
