Page 4: Getting Started
Now you will clamp the SteadyPix EZ onto the eyepiece of your telescope, spotting scope, or binocular. For a telescope or spotting scope eyepiece, it may be easiest to remove the eyepiece from the scope and install it in the SteadyPix, then re-insert the eyepiece in the scope with SteadyPix and phone attached. - Page 5 Figure 4. Center the phone’s camera lens in the hole in the SteadyPix EZ’s plate. Now turn the eyepiece clamp knob clockwise until the three rubber-covered clamp posts achieve a secure grip the eyepiece (5B). Do not overtighten, though! The inward-moving posts will center the eyepiece over the hole in the SteadyPix.
- Page 6 We recommend starting with a fairly long focal length eyepiece, such as a 25mm. Once you get the hang of it, you could swap it out for shorter focal length, higher-power, eyepieces such as a 15mm or 10mm, which usually have smaller eye lenses. Now check the alignment by turning on the camera app in your phone.
