SVBONY SV214 Pro 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter, Digiscoping Adapter with Remote Control Support 28 to 48mm Eyepiece Diameter, for Capture Images Through Telescope Spotting Scope
I have used several other 2 axis eyepiece adapters in the past, and while the SV214 pro costs about twice as much as many of it's competitors, I believe that the ease of use makes it worth the extra cost. Specifically, you can adjust each axis independently, and there is no annoying "lock/unlock" procedure when adjusting each axis. You just turn a knob and the stage slides in one of the three cardinal directions. When you stop turning the knob it stops moving and is automatically "locked" into position.
The cell phone clamp does a good job of repeatedly grabbing your cell phone into the same position due to the fact that it has two immobile clamps and a single moving side clamp. So if you take your phone out, and then put it back in, it is likely you will only need to make minor modifications to the alignment.
Downsides of this adapter is that it may weight a bit more than smaller ones, and it is bulky (and does not snap apart or rotate into a smaller "stowed" position.) but the ease of use is worth it in my opinion.
I have never tried the Move Shoot Move tri-adapter, but from online photos it looks to be very similar in operation, and I suspect the SV214pro is a direct clone.
Now....it doesn't really make eyepiece projection into a cell phone camera give you better images. The images you take with a cell phone are still not going to compare to a dedicated astro-photography camera, or a DSLR with a good T-ring adapter in image quality....but the easy of alignment will make your cell phone images as good as they can be, quickly and easily. [And at $45, it's a lot cheaper than a DSLR or astro-photography camera.]
The package includes a generic bluetooth shutter control button. Nothing special, but it works as expected. Using a wireless shutter is important so that you don't jiggle your telescope when taking photos. [The other option is to use your camera's 10 second timer so the telescope can have a chance to settle after you poke the phone's shutter button is pressed...]

    There are two different sized models. The one in this video fits 1.25 eyepieces, so buy the larger one for 2" ones. (And measure first if they are at all oversized)

    @@trident8872 read the specifications on the larger model, they each have a min and max mm size that they can clamp to. 28-48 for the model I reviewed was accurate. I don't remember off hand the size range of the larger model, but I think that both the min and max size were larger.
