Description
Celestron Smartphone Adapter DX Kit 1.25 is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to explore the wonders of astroimaging or digiscoping. With this kit, you get everything you need to take clear and crisp photos and videos: the smartphone adapter and a Bluetooth shutter release remote. You can use the adapter with any optic device, such as a telescope, binoculars, spotting scope, or microscope. You can capture amazing images of the Moon, share your wildlife adventures with a binocular or spotting scope, or record your lab experiments with a microscope. This adapter is versatile and easy to use.
The Smartphone Adapter fits any eyepiece from 29mm to 45mm in diameter, including telescopes equipped with 1.25” eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars.
The Smartphone Adapter DX Kit accommodates a wide range of smartphones. The phone platform adjusts and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. The secure platform stands up to the weight thanks to the adapter’s strong threaded knobs to secure the adapter in place.
No matter which optic you choose, installing and using the adapter is hassle-free. First, place your phone in the adapter. It’s held securely in position with the help of a tightening knob that locks your phone in place. Next, align the phone’s camera with the center of the eyepiece. Once you’ve determined the perfect position, tighten the adjustment knob for a secure fit.
Note: Some large and/or bulky phone cases (including folio style cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.
Once the phone is mounted over the eyepiece, you can capture still images or video, plus access all the rest of your phone’s features. You can even text your photos to a friend or post them on social media while your phone is still mounted in the adapter.
To determine if your optic is compatible with the Smartphone Adapter, simply measure the outside diameter of your eyepiece. If it falls within the 29mm to 45mm range, you may use it with this adapter. The adapter does not work with riflescopes.
Bluetooth Shutter Release Remote
To capture the best image, Celestron has also provided a Bluetooth shutter release remote that allows you to trigger the camera’s shutter on any Android or iOS smartphone. The remote reduces the blurriness in your images caused by the phone or telescope being disturbed. Instructions on how to pair your Bluetooth remote to your phone can be found in our quick setup guide.
