The NexGo DX Kit is a great first step into the world of astroimaging or digiscoping. The universal adapter enables you to capture sharp, detailed images and video in seconds. NexGo fits any eyepiece from 25.4mm to 44.45mm in diameter including telescopes with 1.25-inch eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. The universal smartphone adapter is fully adjustable and can fit any smartphone—usually with the case still on. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier phones with ease. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexGo’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another. The NexGo DX Kit is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action. What makes NexGo different from other smartphone adapters The rack-and-pinion X- and Y- fine adjustment knobs allow for precise alignment. What’s more, the entire adapter folds up to a smaller size for easy transport. Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform. The NexGo gives you the power to place your phone on the platform and then center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs to have the entire field of view in your shot. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds. If you switch phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, you will need only slight adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece. You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X and Y axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece. The NexGo DX Kit also comes with a Bluetooth shutter release remote to capture shake-free images without disturbing the placement of your phone and telescope by pressing the on-screen shutter button. The remote works with any Android or iOS smartphone.
Works with a wide range of mobile phone models, including all the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
NexGo features two directional knobs (X and Y axis) that perfectly align your phone’s camera with the eyepiece in seconds so you are ready to snap the perfect image; you can also make tension adjustments to hold the phone firmly in place.
Durable metal frame and polymer body stand up to rigorous field use.
Fits any eyepiece from 25.4mm to 44.45mm in diameter including telescopes with 1.25” eyepieces.

Impressed
To my surprise, this worked pretty well with my telescope. Got some decent pictures of the lunar eclipse. I did have to adjust the balance of the telescope to accommodate the extra weight of this and the phone. The blue tooth remote worked great. As this being the first attempt using the phone for something like this, will have to experiment with settings.

Not really what I expected
I have a Celestron/Orion Dobson telescope. So when I seen this item. I wanted to see how well it worked.It’s a bit clumsy. It doesn’t align well.The Focal point between phone camera and telescope eye piece is difficult to achieve.

Easy setup
Easy and steady . It can be used on my microscope telescope monoscope. Very happy.

Better than expected!
Fairly easy setup.I did not expect much for my cell phone to take a picture this way, but I got a surprisingly great shot of the lunar eclipse 5.15.2022. It includes a remote shutter release so you don’t have to touch the phone to take the shot.

Not very useful, but not really the item’s fault
The adapter itself works well for the most part.The adapter is generically described as “works with the latest phones” … but I have no idea when they wrote that. The adapter is just barely big enough to reach the camera on my iPhone 13 Max Pro with Otterbox case.Also, it seems that the phone is so heavy that the adapter can’t hold it straight. I’m not sure if the hinge is part of the problem or just the weight of the phone, but I can’t get a good flat alignment between the camera and the eyepiece.Another issue is that the iPhone 13 has 3 cameras on the back. The iPhone will (apparently) decide, while you’re trying to align the camera with the eyepiece, that the picture is too dark and switch to a different camera… over and over and over again.So I guess I need something with a fully covered “backstop” that only allows a hole for the camera, rather than the open-back style of this adapter.(Plus I stepped on it by mistake and crushed it. 🙁 So important tip — it will not support 200 lbs.)

Very well made and fits the lens without any hassle. The added Bluetooth camera fob makes this a no brainer for me.
