Works well after some time setting up...
Above photos show our cheeky squirrel eating from the bird feeder. 1st photo using this devices attached to my x8 binoculars. 2nd photo with phone on maximum zoom.Getting the whole setup aligned is a bit of a faff, but now I can insert the phone and binoculars in a minute or two (cheeky squirrel did not move from the feeder between shots). This photo without a tripod - clamp has a couple of threaded holes to attached tripod that makes shake free photos easier.These pictures with Pixel8 phone. I never got the clamp to work with my Iphone7plus - I could not get the camera lens in line with the binoculars eyepiece without clamping over the on/off button and this had the phone's camera taking a constant stream to of photos. I am not sure if more time setting it up would have solved the problem - I did spend an hour or two with the Pixel8 before it was working well.

Simple and effective - can't complain for the price
I use this to attach Galaxy Note 9 to a pair of binoculars that in turn are mounted on a tripod via a ball joint.. This "Solomark" one looks identical to the official Gosky one (both brands are on this same amazon page!), and similar to the Nocoex/Lakwar versions (they don't have the drop-down plate, and slightly different camera grip, for £5 less).It's mechanically simple, and given the narrowness of the grip in the axial direction, it attaches solidly to my binocular eyepiece. (The eyepiece has a radially outward step halfway along its axis, which makes attaching the Celestron Nexyz less robust. But that's another review.)Once you have the hang of adjusting the two screws to align the camera position with the binocular eyepiece, it seems solid. You'll need both hands to adjust both screews and stop the camera falling out, since like all these mounts, they only grip the sides of the phone, they don;t support the phone from below.The axial distance between the phone's camera, and the eyepiece, seems good enough to enable a decent snap or video - make sure to focus the binoculars well first, then adjust the magnification on the phone. There's enough freedom of movement to handle phones whose cameras are in the corner, or halfway along the phone's width.I use the phone's pen to trigger the shot; the timer also helps.Make sure it's set up in daytime - it can be really tricky to adjust in the dark, especially if the binoculars are tilted up to track the moon (and no-one wants to drop their phone!)(It's a lot easier to attach solidly, and more robust on my binoculars than the Celestron Nexyz, but that's partly the problem with the step in the eyepiece design, and there are other issues with the Celestron anyway.)

Excellent and very stable once set up.
The media could not be loaded. I bought this to attach my phone (Samsung S20 +) to my 6" Newtonian Reflector telescope. It can take a while to set up, trying to find the best position for the phone camera over the lens, but once you have it in place, the bracket holds perfectly. I find it best to set a 2 second photo timer on my phone, this reduces the initial wobble caused when tapping the photo button, especially important with more distant objects and higher magnification. This wobble is due to my telescope moving from tapping my phone.Highly recommend :)I've included a photo of Saturn and a video of the moon.

Worked well at first
I bought this for use with my Celestron astromaster 130eq.At first it was great as works with the small Plossl eye piece (the small silver ones that come with most scopes) and was easy to use and fit to the scopes. Held my phone steady and with the use of a timer from the camera stopped most of my pictures wobbling and worked well.However, I then bought new lenses. I got the X-cel LX (5mm) and the luminos (7mm).The actually lense for the X-cel would take this phone holder at a stretch, but the actually view was poor as It held it too close to the lense which has a large field of view.The Luminos wouldn't take the holder, it was too large and as there is no way to move the phone away from the lense (only vertical/horizontal) and as there is no way to adapt this and make it move in the other directions, and it now sits in a box.Overall, if u are just like I was, taking some small shots here and there through small cheap lenses that come with your scope, then yes I would say this does the Trick, or for your children to use to show their friends.However, if u are going to upgrade your lenses (but not wanting to pay out hundreds for a decent telescope camera) then I would say get something slightly better than this to make sure it fits all lenses you plan on getting.

Easy to fit and ajust to my teliscope.
Hi, I've just come indoors after setting up this cell-phone adapter on my telescope, it's 6.25 am on Sunday morning November 2017 and I'm astounded of the ease of setting up this adapter, and to think all these years I've been straining my eye's looking through my lenses with most times a cricked neck in the process, I wish I had got one of these years ago, I will be informing all my friends about the ease of fitting this devise and how well made it is, and lots of adjustment variations to get centred on your lenses', a nicely engineered piece of equipment no astronomer should be without, I'm impressed, it also fits onto all my camera tripods for media events like chatting and communicating with friends on line, all hands free, a must for budding astronomers and photographer ET.C, thanks for a wonderful device, from Matthew & Mylee.

Would give 4.5 if I could
Firstly, this mount is a heck of a lot sturdier and well built than I expected. Worth the money for that alone.The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is that I have THE hardest time trying to align my phone with it. The instructions are in broken, but understandable English, but don’t really say much more than “put your phone in and attach to telescope”... however, that could of course be down to me just being stupid. That is very much a possibility.I have attached some of the best photos I managed to capture, using this with my iPhone 11.
