CELESTRON UNIVERSAL 3-AXIS SMARTPHONE ADAPTER NEXYZ

CELESTRON UNIVERSAL 3-AXIS NEXYZ SMARTPHONE ADAPTER.

The NexYZ adapter fits any eyepiece from 35mm to 60mm diameter, including telescopes with 1.25" and 2" eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars and binoculars. NexYZ also attaches to microscopes with the addition of the included adapter ring, which brings the usable diameter to 25mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece. A strong spring and thread lock provide a strong, secure two-level grip on the eyepiece of the optical instrument so you can image with confidence.

NexYZ also accommodates a wide range of smartphones. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can be fitted to any device, usually with the handset still on. Even larger "phablets" like the iPhone 8 Plus and the latest Samsung Galaxy devices work perfectly with this adapter. The secure platform supports the weight of these heavier devices with ease.

If multiple people want to capture an image through your equipment, NexYZ's simple spring clips make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for public astronomical and ornithological group observations where everyone wants to get their own picture.

how is NexYZ different from other smartphone adapters? The three-axis adjustment. Most adapters rely on placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment on two axes. But NexYZ gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs, and then move up or down over the eyepiece until you have the full field of view available for shots.

And while this adjustment is ultra-precise, it's still faster and easier than with other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexYZ, place NexYZ in an eyepiece, launch the camera app, and center the camera over the eyepiece with the knobs. If you change phones, eyepieces or optical instruments, you will only need minor adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece.

You can also change the image from vertical to horizontal by simply rotating the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X, Y and Z axes to realign your phone with the eyepiece.

NexYZ fits telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars and microscopes. NexYZ will work with most phone cases, but if you have a particularly large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio-type case, Celestron recommends removing it for optimal use.

U.S. and international patents pending.

Reviews:

"Unlike other adapters, the NexYZ features three directional knobs (X, Y and Z axes) that perfectly align your phone's camera with the scope eyepiece in seconds. In addition, you can make tension adjustments to hold the phone firmly in place and, nicely, the clamp system allows the phone to be positioned to capture images in landscape mode rather than portrait, which is often the hallmark of most smartphone images . " - from Expert Reviews," Birdwatch " magazine, November 2018.

"Adjusting the phone to the adapter is simple and quick, and the phone stays firmly in place, without having to worry about it falling out as you move around. Next, adjust the position of the phone using the X- and Y-axis knobs, this is also easy and relatively quick. Finally, the Z-axis knob allows you to lower or raise the phone to eliminate vignetting." - Matt Merritt," Unlock your phone's potential "," Birdwatching " magazine," August 2018.
