Universal Adapter Smartphone-Binoculars

cults3d

I have designed this universal adapter to take photos/videos from any smartphone with any binoculars. The combination smartphone/binoculars helps to make great photos at long distances! I have made it to take photos of whales and dolphins during a boat trip. #HP3D Suitable for a 12x12x12 cm printer or more. If you test it please leave a comment with the brands of both your smartphone and the binoculars you have used, and if it works or not, so I can update the list below. Also, you can ask any question, I would be happy to answer. Main features: -Small -Easy to use (see "how to assemble", and "how to use" below) -Fully 3D printed (no additional screw, nut...) -For binoculars and microscopes I have tested many 3D printed adapters for such a purpose, but I was not satisfied so I made my own. The screw holding the smartphone has been inspired by the great design of OpenOcular (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2567141) that is used for microscopes. But the device is too big and not usable on my binoculars. How to assemble the pieces? I have made a gif on how to assemble the pieces, check for the gif beside with the photos. How to use it? There are an image and a gif beside, to explain how to use this adapter. Here are the main steps: -STEP 1: Place the smartphone between the holding pieces ("L-piece" and "X-piece"), then tighten the nut of the "L-piece". -STEP 2: Rotate the second nut on the "X-piece" so that the middle of the X is placed just in front of the camera. -STEP 3: Place the "X-piece" between the eyepieces of the binoculars, then close the eyepieces. -STEP 4: Slide the smartphone horizontally until the image is neat. Here is the list of the smartphones tested with this adapter: -iPhone 4 -iPhone 4S -iPhone 6S -Fairphone 2 -Redmi note 2 And below is the list of the binoculars tested with this adaptor: -Prostaff (Nikon) -Aculon (Nikon)
