## Description

Take your smartphone photography to the next level with the Celestron NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter. Designed to work with nearly any smartphone and a wide range of optical devices—telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes—NexYZ lets you capture sharp images and videos of the world around you. The patented 3-axis design makes alignment fast, easy, and precise. While other adapters require tedious adjustments, NexYZ features three precision control knobs (x-, y-, and z-axis) to center your phone’s camera perfectly over the eyepiece in seconds. You can also switch between portrait and landscape orientation without removing your phone, giving you greater creative flexibility. NexYZ’s spring-loaded phone platform accommodates virtually any smartphone, even larger "Pro" models. It’s the perfect solution for star parties and bird walks, because you can swap phones in seconds and allow everyone in the group to get their shot. The robust claw clamp attaches securely to eyepieces from 35mm to 60mm in diameter—and as small as 25mm for microscopes with the included adapters. Whether you’re observing the planets through a telescope, capturing wildlife with binoculars, or documenting tiny details under a microscope, NexYZ makes it easy to capture and share all your discoveries. Ideal for both beginners and seasoned observers, this versatile adapter transforms your smartphone into a powerful imaging tool.

Review: Solid mount. Easy to set up, and adjust. - Works great with my Pixel 2xl! I tried another mount first (one of the cheaper ones that basically just screws clamps down on the phone and eyepiece) and they were extremely difficult to line up as any looseness necessary to adjust would allow the phone to move way more than was possible to control, and locking it down again would throw off adjustment again, plus the mount pressed down on the buttons on the phone, preventing proper use while in the mount. This mount is spring loaded for the phone holder, so placing the phone in is quick, easy and secure, plus it doesn't push down on the phone's buttons. There are adjustments for the X, Y and Z plane, so once the phone is in place, all it takes is adjustments of three knobs to line the phone up. I was unable to line up the other mount in any sort of reasonable amount of time or effort. This mount was lined up in about a minute. The clamp spring that holds the eyepiece is not strong enough to hold the phone level, but that's not an issue as there's a 'safety lock', which when screwed tight, keeps the clamp from opening, and securely holding the holder to the eyepiece. The X/Y/Z motion might be too loose when you get the mount to hold the phone steady in certain orientations, however there are small screws on the mount which control the force necessary to move those knobs, which can be adjusted from very loose to unmoveable. The manual does not cover this at all, which might explain some of the bad reviews, but once you know about them and adjust them as needed, you won't have any issues. The only 'issue' I've had is that the phone's camera is wide enough of an angle that there is vignetting on the corners of the image. This isn't an issue with the mount, but more of an issue with the focal length of the phone's camera, and the FOV of the eyepiece itself. If your phone has a 'zoom' lens or portrait mode, or perhaps if you have much more expensive eyepieces than I have with wider FOVs, then this might not be an issue. The image can also be zoomed in, digitally, or the final image cropped. Something to keep in mind. Great mount. Highly recommended.
Review: It fir my phone with the case left on. - This is a high quality complex cellphone mount. It requires no instructions really, due to the adjustments on it being self explanatory. It fit my pixel even with the otter case left on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and well thought out design
*by H***R on February 26, 2019*

Before you read this; I am very new to this hobby, I’ve only had my telescope for just over 2 months. I bought this because I wanted to share the views I was getting with friends and family via social networks. That being said... The NeXYZ performs fairly well. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is through no fault of its own. There is a lot of vibrations when attached to focuser (I figure because of its total weight with the phone in it) so I’d suggest using a timer. I also suggest getting an app that allows for exposure and ISO settings (look for DSLR Camera in the App Store). The phone I’m using is an iPhone 8 with an otter box case. The phone fits well and I’m comfortable with how much grip the device has to hold it securely. I’m using this on a Celestron 130 SLT with a 5.5mm Meade 5000 series EP and a 10mm Celestron Luminos EP. The NeXYZ is large enough to handle the large Eye Pieces but on the Luminos you need to set it so it doesn’t unscrew the eye relief piece (I found that hanging it at an angle of 4 o’clock works fine). The wonderful thing about the NeXYZ is the ability to move on all 3 axis’s. I have read just about every review for this on Amazon and yes, there is some fine tuning that is needed when trying to align the phone with the eye piece. I feel the device is well built and should hold me over until I can afford to do astrophotography with a real camera. In all, I would recommend this product. I have combed all of the internet and for my money this was the best option and well worth it. (Pictures: Orion Nebula, Moon, the $.99 app that I’m using)
