Great for attaching to a microscope to see & take photos from the iPhone!
Love the Tridaptor! I am using it to attach to my microscope. It works great. I can see so much better as the image is from my iPhone vs. through the scope. The blue tooth remote also makes it super easy to capture photos of the images. The build quality is excellent; very sturdy, yet the adjustable parts move very easy. Great design.I am using this with a microscope for gemology, but this is perfect for any microscope use (e.g. electronics, circuit boards, geology, botany).It’s perfect for the student, hobbyist, or professional. A must have!

Exceeded my expectations
Excuse my doubting…. I hadn’t expected something that was engineered with such precision. I had read reviews of various similar plastic devices and there were many complaints/concerns about how the phone wobbled/moved slightly or it was difficult to set up.This device is all aluminum with precision 3-way screw adjusters to fine tune the alignment.Simply put, you attach the device to the lens/device that you are going to use first (Microscope, monocular, binocular, etc). It clamps very snug. Once that’s fitted, then you determine which of the lens of the camera is the one you want (normally the “normal” or telephoto lens) and then clamp the device to your phone with the appropriate lens roughly over the lens of the microscope/binocular etc).Once that’s done, you then have the 3 way adjustment. The red Adjuster allows you to move the camera forward or back (in-out) to the lens of the device. There are then 2 additional adjusters, one to adjust the left-right of the phone over the lens you attached it to and the other the adjust the up-down of the phone over the lens. So you do have total adjustment.I got mine fitted and working on a Samsung A15 within a couple of minutes. I should also point out that I have a hard shell case on my phone (I didn’t take that off). The downside to the hard shell case is that it is thick and does not allow the device lens to touch the Phone’s Camera lens. This means that I get a round image on my phone but soon as I set the phone to 2x telephoto that went away and the image was full screen. I was more than happy with this arrangement. If I took the phone out of the hard shell case it was a little easier but I prefer the phone in the hard shell and it worked perfect imhoI will point out whatever device you attach it to… you need a tripod mounted device. Hence why you should invest in a $5-6 Bluetooth Remote. That way you don’t touch the camera using the lens. That’s common sense…. anything that magnifies the image by huge amounts, 10x, 20x, 50x… the higher the magnification the more sensitive the image will be on screen to any type of touch of the camera. It is NOT the camera that is loose or wriggling, it’s the lens device itself… Anyone who has used high powered lenses before knows what I mean. If you magnify the image, you magnify “shake”. It’s as simple as thatI must admit, from having tried some cheap plastic devices which were all but useless and moved around every time I touched the phone and needed constant readjustment, with this device I tested using a 10x monocular and hand held it. I was stunned that the frame and mounting clamps hold the phone so rigid that I never had to adjust the 3-way screws once I had it aligned even if I hand held the monocular. Meaning I didn’t need to hold/touch/support the phone in anyway. I feel my phone is heavy compared to previous models so I was pleased this device worked so well.As for the clamping device, this is not something you carry around in your pocket. It is heavy itself due to the solid metal construction (I could not find a single piece of plastic on the holder). It is also somewhat bulky. So if you want something plastic and lightweight that slips in your pocket that definitely won’t have the features of this device nor work as well… then this is not the one for you. However if you want something solid and quality built that can help you get excellent quality pictures and videos (and I do recommend a bluetooth remote) then this is definitely worth the extra few dollars.I bought my unit myself, I didn’t get compensated for my review. I have no connection with the seller nor manufacturer in any way. I’m just a regular customer who was disappointed with the cheaper devices but jealous of seeing other peoples posted images which I could not acquire with devices I used. I also love astronomy so in the next few days, I’ll drag out my big telescope and use this on that too. I have zero doubt as to its ability to work flawless on anything else I clamp it to.Definitely recommend this if you want a quality holder and you are not concerned about it’s weight and bulk.

Best scope cam mount to date
I have tried various scope mounts over the past 5+ years including the Celestron â NexYZ, Side shot, and various other cheaper mounts. This one by far is the best. The precsion adjustnments as well as the build quality makes it a clear winner. A few things to point out, and the reason it only recieved 4 stars: 1. The eye relief adjustmenrt WILL NOT extend far enough to use on a rifle scope. This is no faullt of the product however, as it does not claim to be able to be used with that type of optic. If the adjustment did go that far out then it would be devastatingly killer. Rifle scopes (good ones) have a generious amount of eye relief for obvious reasons. 2. I have a crap Simmons spotting scope with 0 eye relief, and this mount is the only one I have been able to get dialed in. It also works well with my Vortex Bino’s as well as a super cheap & cheesy Monocular. Works with my Samsung Galaxy S21 ultimate just fine-even with a Otter Box Defender case on. We MUST understand 1 thing. ALL scope cam mounts are a PITA to get adjusted correctly. They are major fiddly regardless who says otherwise or what Youtuber you have seen to the contrary. This one is the least amount of a pain to get adjusted, I can assure you of that. Yea, it was $50…but I think it was worth it. Im sure the Trigger Cam 2 or the Tactacam 5.0 would be more ideal but I’m not spending that kind of money on a mount thats going to be used ever so often. Im not a content creator after all.

Great product. Tried a few of these types of products and this is far better. Also a lot more expensive but if you want one that works and probably for a far greater range of phones than the others too
