iPhone adapters

[KerryAnn23]

Hi all I am just enquiring if any of you out there have one of the iPhone adapters as when I am trying to take photos all I seem to do is shake especially at the moment with it being cold..... Any info would be massively appreciated. Thanks :-)) x

Wow i'm famous!

Hi KerryAnn,

After I looked at the cost of buying a "proper" holder, I had a go at making my own. The main ingredients are really an old hard case for the back of your phone (or a new one...) that you can use. I fastened a bolt to it with superglue, and then the bolt to a clip/grip that holds round the eyepiece. The main thing is to line up the optical axis with the camera before securing it in.

It massively improved the pictures I was able to take! And video for playing with stacking. I've not got round to a second attempt yet but if you gather any tips please do share!

I'll link to the thread when I find it...

Cheers

Stevp

Ahh thanks, I wouldn't have a clue where to start with stacking though lol

i went to halfords to buy a cheap cycle bell but all they had were the ones with a strap that tightens, i might raid the sprogs old meccano set to see if i can make a clamp and some sort of forwards/back adjuster. i found an old bolt and hard case for the phone tho.

those clips you posted are handy mate

Hi KerryAnn

I made one with an iPhone case and a 35mm film canister. I've never tried it though so I've no idea if it works!

Ooooo, I do have loads of fone cases so I may look in to making something although I'm wondering weather they will work as they may not be stable enough....we will see :-)

Put a hose clamp around the film case.

i also tried to take a photo of what i saw on my iphone and i have to agree its a right royal pain in the @$$!!

It's holding it still that gets me as obviously it's cold now but once I get hold of some tubes, I will definately try make this one before I buy the ones shops are selling.... I would like someone's thoughts on them though as if the camera tube don't work I will need one lol :-)
