The Gen 3 also upgrades to the X63 modem for the fastest potential 5G data speeds (up to 5 Gbps) in the 7 series. Well worth getting.Easy to fit and align when used with a Moto G5. No clear skies to try any Astro photography yet but got some good wildlife shots. It's like having a 1500mm telephoto on your cellphone. Good service from Harrison Telescopes (10/01/2021) John - South Wales On top of everything else, honestly, it’s just plain fun. If you’ve made it this far and are confused as to what digiscoping even is, let me enlighten you. Up until now, digiscoping setups have been good, but not excellent. Most systems were better than holding your phone to the optics, but there was a lot of room for improvement. They typically have these awkward, oversized cases for your phone, they’re hard to connect and disconnect from your optics, and they never seem to seamlessly line up with your glass. Unlike other universal adapters, NexYZ features three directional knobs (X, Y, and Z axis) that perfectly align your phone’s camera with the eyepiece in seconds so you are ready to take the perfect image. NexYZ stands up to rigorous field use thanks to its robust, durable construction with a metal frame and polymer body.

Ollin is a magnetic digiscoping system that ensures perfect and secure alignment every single time, all within about a second. There are three main parts to the system: an eyepiece that goes over the ocular lens on your optic, a cover for that eyepiece, and a very low-profile case for your phone (Magcase). These pieces work together to provide the most streamlined and efficient digiscoping experience. So why is the Celestron NexGO DX referred to as a ‘kit’? It comes with a Bluetooth remote. That’s it. Rather small and easy to lose, this CR2032 battery-powered thumb-remote does overcome one of the pain-points of afocal astrophotography. Touching the screen of a smartphone to take a photo is to be avoided when focusing on, say, the Moon (which is what we used the NexGO to capture). However, avoiding the inevitable wobble of doing so is actually very easy, the magic words being: “Hey Siri, take a photo.” Almost all smartphone cameras, iOS and Android, include both voice-control and shutter delay options. So the Bluetooth remote probably isn’t required. I’ve been digiscoping now for some time but have always had mixed feelings about the efficiency of doing so. In fact, I stopped doing it for a while because of the struggle to get any level of quality. The downsides just weren’t worth dealing with.

You will want an adaptor that is built from quality materials so it can withstand the elements and remain reliable. You can find one that is high quality and still lightweight. If it’s too heavy, then it will be difficult to mount on your scope. DesignWe found the 8×25 ED perfect for birdwatching on a sunny afternoon, but it also held up well in gloomier conditions. The low close-focus range also makes it more versatile than some of the higher-powered options. It’s a little heavier than the other 25mm monoculars, although the all-metal construction feels tough, and we found the central focus wheel stiff when trying to focus in on distant objects. However, it’s waterproof and comes with a protective soft case and wrist strap. Overall, you’re getting high-performance optics at a mid-range price, making this our go-to compact monocular for serious birdwatching, nature and hiking. Build quality is impressive for the price, offering a rugged waterproof rubber armour and a very comfortable grip. We found the focus dial easier to work with than the central focusing ring on the Opticron. It’s quite a heavy monocular; but it’s durable, affordable and good for everything from birdwatching to hiking to some light stargazing from your garden.

Phone Skope digiscopes offer more than just photographic opportunities. It serves as a valuable tool for cataloging and documenting the animals you encounter during your hunting expeditions. By leveraging the capabilities of your smartphone, you can create a comprehensive record of your wildlife sightings, noting important details such as species, behavior, and habitat.
