As a former photojournalist who still has all his pro-gear but is sick and tired and too old to drag it all around and has resorted to using cellphone lenses and binos and telescopes for a newer and lightweight experience- this is awesome dude! No shame in elastics!! Ive done many a thing to get a shot when I used SLRs and ppl laughed, however, I got the shot and they didnt sooooo... Whatever works and gets you the shot is what works. Keep up the great work and thank you for the tip - it will be utilized and soon!

Sir, will this technique create background blurs as we see in DSLR photos?

I used this trick on a spotting scope,after some adjustments it really worked 😊😊😊

This is phone adapters and spotting scope adapter killer trick 😊😊

LOL I'll feel silly if anyone spots me with binoculars banded to my smartphone - *but* this is clever and I'm curious to try it out. Thanks Justin!! (this is my first visit to your channel. I hope your YT channel gets more exposure because you provide good information but with the added benefit of having a charismatic personality. 😊 Thank you for these videos)

Oh wow! I will try this!!!! Thank you😊👍🏽

Great idea, thanks for that I'm gunna try it, on your camera settings on your phone you can change it too voice activated, saves you having to press the button so you don't lose sight of what your taking a pic of

You’re a smart guy! 🎉 🙏🏻

Genius!👍👍 I got the same Celestrons.😊

Smart idea ! I've been trying with adapters over one eyepiece... never worked well. Did not think of covering both eyepiece! thanks

This video helped me a lot

Awesome idea will try it out on the eclipse later

Holy crap it works ! . I was searching to see if it was possible . I have some great views from house and phone Zoom, isn't that great. You are right about a tripod it would help. So many thanks, I shall now buy more asparagus for the rubber bands.

Thanks

Good. Job😅

Nice. I have found that adding a Bluetooth shutter release-around $10 USD on Amazon-is very helpful.

Thanks for this tip.

what a great idea

Hide the rubber bands... easy peasy... 1. seperate your smart phone from the protective case. 2. Now attach the case using the rubber bands as demonstrated, onto your binoculars. 3. Place your phone back into the case. Rubber bands will not block your screen & your phone is safely held in place. 4. Now with your phone camera turned on & the binocular lens covers removed, Adjust your phone lens over the right or left binocular eye piece for a clear view on your camera screen. 5. Adjust your camera zoom to your liking & enjoy.

Good job!

Thanks very informative

Priceless !!!! Thankyou.

Rubber bands are still a form of a holder. Plus, they may not keep the camera lens exactly over the eyepiece.

Clever idea - thank you

I think this is brilliant, does it work with the newer smart phones with 3 lenses?

@jimmy66603

For newer smart phones with three cameras you need to multiply the amount of elastic bands in this tutorial by three. 2 x 3 = 6 elastic bands 🤗

Plastic zip ties from the Dollar Store also work well and you only need to use one.

Will any pair of binoculars work.?

i think this only works when the camera is at the center. My phone's camera is at the top left so it is difficult.

Which binocular are u using in this video

Exactly!! It was awesome that it randomly showed up outside 😆 my lucky day

Too bad it only works for phones with cameras on the center of the smartphone...cameras on corners are rough to center with this technique. =(

His hands are more stable than large cap funds.

I bought mine with the holder but they don't work with my redmi 8 pro.

damn phone near eye will give me cancer or cataracts

Came here to learn a trick on how to use a smart phone for pics through binos, but learned nothing because there’s no smart phone in this video, just an android.

thank you!
