Universal optics adapter is fun toy - CARSON Universal Optics Adapter
by

Written on October 7, 2015
I'd read reviews of this item before I purchased it, but wanted to experience it myself. The reviews that claimed that the adapter does not clamp onto oculars very well are true, as I experienced the problem myself, but was able to do a better job of securing the device by binding the clamping arms with some soft twine, but imagine a good rubber band would work as well.
I found I could not get my digital pocket camera to focus once mated to my binocular ocular with the adapter.
To get a decent photo with my cellphone required that I move the adapter around to get a good mating of the camera lens to the ocular of my binocular (in this case. The photos taken of nearby terrestrial items came out fairly good, but when trying to capture the recent lunar eclipse, the mating issue, as well as the lack of light gathering ability of my cellphone produced a less than desired photo, but should have been expected.
All in all, the adapter will be put to better tests by me in the near future, but I anticipate the adapter will be relegated to daytime use. It is fun to play with.
Pros:
None
Cons:
needs secondary way of clamping to ocular
Would Recommend:
Yes
