Designed for eyepiece projection photography, this adapter securely mounts your phone over a telescope eyepiece so the camera lens is held parallel to the eyepiece lens, reducing blur and misalignment that comes from handheld attempts. It accommodates a wide range of smartphone sizes, from compact models up to large devices (from about 4.7″ × 2.4″ up to 8.3″ × 4.7″), so most modern phones can be used without hassle. The eyepiece clamp side features a three-post design that fits eyepiece housings with diameters between 1.2″ and 2.2″ (31–55 mm), including most 1.25″ eyepieces. Four adjustable, rubber-tipped metal clamps keep the phone secure and protected from scratches. Built of rugged ABS plastic with durable clamps, the SteadyPix EZ is versatile enough to be used not only with telescopes but also with spotting scopes or binoculars for daytime digiscoping of nature, wildlife, or landscape scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"oriontelescopes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51400484192552,"sku":"05347","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8886\/7880\/files\/SteadyPix_EZ_Smartphone_Telescope_Adapter-1.jpg?v=1791484925"},{"product_id":"orion-wide-t-adapter-for-canon-eos","title":"Wide T-Adapter for Canon EOS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wide T-Adapter for Canon EOS is a specialized astrophotography accessory that lets you directly mount a Canon EOS DSLR camera to a telescope’s focuser for prime focus imaging, without using a lens. Unlike standard T-adapters, this wide 2″ T-adapter provides an expanded, clear aperture of approximately 47.5 mm to minimize vignetting and fully utilize APS-C and full-frame sensors for wide-field captures. Its integrated Canon EOS bayonet securely connects with Canon camera bodies while the 2″ barrel fits standard 2″ telescope focusers, giving a stable and secure connection. The adapter is machined from black anodized aluminum for rigidity and durability, and features internally blacken threads to reduce stray reflections and improve contrast, key attributes for effective deep-sky imaging.
