The Kowa TSN-DA10 and TSN-DA1A adapters can also be used for

Handling Procedures and Precautions
Depending on the type of binoculars or eyepiece that is connected,
vignetting (when the image periphery appears darker) may appear in
some situations. Use the iPhone zoom to adjust the image until the
vignetting is reduced or eliminated.
When attaching the adapter to binoculars or eyepieces, make sure you
have chosen a compatible adapter ring. Do not use unreasonable
force when pressing the adapter ring on to the twist-up eyecup since
this may damage the eyecup.
To avoid damage to the eyecup, the adapter ring was not designed to
be overly tightened. Please hold the adapter by hand when using this
system. Securely mount the main unit onto the eyepiece adapter and
make sure that it is tight. Be certain to attach the strap, and hold the
strap and iPhone while taking pictures. If the product falls off, damage
or injury may occur.
In the unlikely event that this product develops a crack, stop using it.
If the product falls off, damage or injury may occur.

KOWA Tripod Adapter for binoculars
Mounting the Binoculars
Rotate and remove the central axis cap that is attached to the
binoculars.
Mount the binoculars on the tripod adapter.
Axis Cap
Taking Photographs
Avoid adapter falling: Either hold the strap attached to the main unit of the
adapter in your hand or wind it around the spotting scope or binoculars
while taking photographs to make sure that the main unit does not fall off.
(The KOWA Photo Adapter cannot be attached to spotting scopes or
binoculars too tightly due to structural design)
Focus Method: Focus using the focusing knob of the spotting scope or
focusing ring of the binoculars. Due to super-telephoto imaging, it will be
more difficult than usual to set the focus. If you are unsure whether or not
the image is properly focused, set the focus while looking through the
eyepiece of the spotting scope or binoculars before mounting your iPhone.
Camera stability: Since camera shake will be magnified in super-telephoto
imaging, tripod use to prevent camera shake is highly recommended.
By utilizing Apple's genuine earphones "Apple Earphones with Remote
and Mic" it will be possible to reduce shaking by pressing the earphone
center button to operate the shutter. For more details, please refer to the
Apple Inc. website. For iPhone operation, refer to your iPhone operation
manual.
Image capture method: The collimation method is used with this type of
image capture. The effective focal length can be calculated using the
following formula. Effective focal length =
Magnification of the Scope (or Binoculars) x Focal Length of the iPhone
Do not carry this product while it is still attached to the spotting scope or
binoculars. If the product falls off, damage or injury may occur.
When taking photographs, use a tripod that can support the combined
weight of the optic, adapter, and camera or iPhone. This will help reduce
camera shake and will improve image quality.
KOWA will accept no responsibility for any problems occurring if this
product is connected to binoculars or spotting scopes manufactured by
other companies.
Do not mount, use, or store this product on top of an unstable platform or
in a location that is tilted.
While using this product, do not point it at or photograph the sun, since
this may cause malfunction or fire in the iPhone.
To ensure proper maintenance, clean this product after each use. If the
product has been used near water, wipe it with a damp cloth and then
carefully wipe it with a dry cloth before storing it. Rusting may occur if
product is not maintained properly after each use.
