Worth it! Takes practice but it lets you photograph, record, and share!
The media could not be loaded. My son and I have been using the Gorsky adaptor for two weeks now and once you get the hang of it, you won’t regret your purchase. It’s amazing how often one of us wants to share what we’ve found on a scope, only to have it bumped and become misaligned – Not anymore. Now once we find the general area where our specimens reside, we mount the Gosky and both of us have a real-time view!Quality is amazing, with solid aluminum, steel and ridged plastic construction, with padded mounts for your phone and eyepieces, it should last for years.Mounting the device is simple enough, though for smaller eyepieces I found the mount loose – at no fault to the adaptor. This is easily remedied by inserting a folded business card or tissue between the mount and the eyepiece.At first you may struggle getting any image at all until you figure out that you need to take into account all three axes. You not only have to align your phone with the eyepiece, you must also adjust the pitch, roll, and yaw until you have a centered image. Distance from the eyepiece also matters and depending on the optics, you may find better results having the adaptor’s clamp flush with the edge of the eyepiece, leaving a gap between the phone’s camera and the eyepiece, or a closer mount may work better.Once everything is adjusted, don’t be surprised if the image is not as bright or as large as what you would see using just your eyes – typically you’ll see the circular image taking up a small fraction of the screen. Once again, no fault to the adaptor – this is purely a result of using a phone camera in a manner it wasn’t intended to be used. Zooming in on the image does a good job at using your screen real-estate.Locking the focus of your camera will also prevent image fluctuation, though it tends to darken the view. Adjust the image brightness accordingly.The video and images below were taken with an iPhone 5 at 4x and 10x using the My First Lab Duo-Scope Microscope - MFL-06 available here on Amazon. You'll note that you don't need a professional level microscope to see the paramecium and amoebas. I also mounted it on our Kyowa Lumiscope 6TI5T6 microscope (which has fantastic optics and fine-control) and on a small telescope- no issues.I’d love it if there was a deluxe model that had would have knobs to allow you to fine-tune the pitch, roll, and yaw of the camera placement, though that might make it too bulky as well as a lower clamp to record your cell phone’s position, making future use a drop and load.Supplemental software would also work wonders – something that would allow you to broadcast to your computer a real-time feed of what your phone is capturing. (If anyone knows of such a product for iOS, please reply in the comments!)

Expected Better From This Popular Company
A top rated product from a well respected manufacturer should have been worth the money and a no brainer but unfortunately this one missed the mark (for me at least).When it arrived, it came in a small completely plain white thin cardboard box. No logo, company name or other identifier present except for the small parcel sticker on the side.No tape holding it together - it was slightly crushed and mangled and one side had started the pop open.Inside was the product and a folded instructions guide with pictures. But that was everything.Upon holding it it didn't feel particularly cheap? But it didn't feel super quality either.Made of thick plastic and screws, it's a bit of a process to get everything fitted and set in a way that actually allows for any viewing.I found the screws to be cumbersome at best and pretty much useless at worst.The top screw from that whole section just seemed to spin and spin and never tighten or loosen or move at all.In all my attempts, it's left these sparkly piles of shavings and friction dandruff in and around the holes and surrounding plastic.To keep this from becoming a short book, all in all I was disappointed with this product because it's apparent ratings on here combined with it being from a brand I know and have personally used other products of theirs, I hadn't any doubt I was getting a quality product.Unfortunately I found this product to be difficult to use, the design and mechanisms could be better, different (or actually work, in my case..), frustrating, and disappointing especially coming from Gosky.

Excellent Results
I have tried to attach my One+ phone to the eyepiece of my telescope using the Celestron bracket and the Blanket bracket. None of them were able to place the lens of the phone properly. The phone ended up either in the wrong distance or fail to sit parallel to the eyepiece. Eyepiece is the stock Celestron 40mm which is very forgiving. Worst of all is the amount of "play" that makes even worse to fine tune, they aren't ridgid.Enter this one. It was affordable enough to merit experimenting since the design is different. It worked. I was able to dial it in pretty fast, Saturn showed up in the center of the screen - beautiful!I suspect that the difference here is that this product is way more rigid than the others I tried. I was sceptical of the amount of plastic used. The frame is metal, but all the adjustment axis are made out of plastic. Solid, rigid plastic. There's no play in the system, plastic does not bend at all.For hobbyists like me with different eye focus (astigmatism and myopia) this brings back the magic of Electronically Assisted Astronomy can bring. Don't get me wrong, there's no contest against viewing the planets directly off the eyepiece - there's something ethereal about it - but smartphone is a good trade-off. I can recommend this bracket.
