smartphone telescope adaptor version 5

this will let you attach your smatphone to your telescope and maybe binoculars to let you r take pictures through the scope,

there are two side guides that slide to grip the phone and a bottom slider to stop it from slipping. they have been placed so they dont press any side buttons while gripping the phone, the bottom guide can be moved to cater for use of usb or headphone plug.
the clamp will grip upto 2 1/2 to 3 inch size eye piece barrels. (longer bolts may be required)
the clamp has 3 height settings as the gap between eye peice and phone will vary depending on what eye pieces are used.
It is designed to be used with cameras situated in the middle and on the corner.

there is a little hole at on the clamp section, to make it easier to line up with the centering on the eyepiece, once its lined up you just need to push the phone upwards to line it up once the adaptor is mounted on the eye piece.

Items required for completion:
M6 40mm hex bolt qty 2
M6 20mm hex bolt
M6 nut qty3
M4 25-30mm qty 3

foam or rubber non slip pads for the guides to grip onto the phone,

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE PHONE IN THIS HOLDER WITHOUT A GEL CASE.
