Details
Works with a wide range of phone models, including all the latest devices from Samsung, Google and Apple.
Unlike other adapters, Celestron NexYZ has three directional knobs (X, Y, and Z axis) that perfectly align your phone's camera with the eyepiece in seconds, so you're ready to capture the perfect image. Plus, you can adjust the tension to keep the phone firmly in place.
NexYZ stands up to tough field use thanks to its rugged, durable construction with a metal frame and polymer housing.
Fits almost all smartphones
NexYZ fits any eyepiece from 35mm to 60mm in diameter, including telescopes with 1.25" and 2" eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars and binoculars. NexYZ can also be attached to microscopes with the included adapter ring, which reduces the usable diameter to 25mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece. A strong spring and threaded twist-lock provide a strong and secure two-level hold on the optical instrument's eyepiece, so you can image with confidence.
NexYZ also accommodates a wide range of smartphones. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can accommodate any device - usually with the case still attached to the device. Even larger "phablets" like the iPhone 8 Plus and the latest Samsung Galaxy devices work perfectly. The secure platform easily withstands the weight of these heavier devices.
If multiple people want to take a shot through your optics, NexYZ's simple spring clips allow you to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants to get their own shot of the action.
Easy to use
What sets NexYZ apart from other smartphone adapters? The three-axis setting. Most adapters rely on you to place your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment in two axes. But NexYZ gives you the ability to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y buttons, and then move it up or down over the eyepiece until you have the full field of view in your shot.
And while this adjustment is extremely precise, it's still faster and easier than with other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into the NexYZ, connect the NexYZ to an eyepiece, launch the camera app, and center the camera using the knobs above the eyepiece. If you change phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, you only need to make minor adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece.
You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape by simply rotating the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X, Y, and Z axes to realign your phone with the eyepiece.
NOTE: NexYZ fits telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars and microscopes. It does not fit riflescopes. NexYZ will work with most phone cases, but if you have a particularly large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio case, Celestron recommends removing it for best use.
