The tree one looks pretty! Try stacking, you’ll see reduction in noise.

Thank you for the appreciation and for the suggestion. I shall stack and upload the updated version!

Did you purchase any adaptor for this?

#5

Yes. I purchased an L-shaped adapter to mount the binoculars on the tripod. I also bought a mount to attach the phone with the binoculars. Attaching images for reference.

Can mounts like this made to work for phones with two cameras like iPhone 8 Plus?

#7

Hello. Yes, you can use this mount with any camera phone including iPhone 8 Plus. It doesn’t matter how many cameras the phone has. You would just have to adjust the phone so as to align the primary camera of the phone with the eyepiece lens. I have OnePlus 6T which has two cameras.
