Our take on the Celestron NexYZ 3 Mobile Phone Adapter Black

The NexYZ 3 is a three-axis smartphone adapter that clamps a phone to the eyepiece of a telescope, spotting scope or binocular for digiscoping. Its X, Y and Z knobs let you center the phone camera over the eyepiece quickly, which is the main advantage over simpler two-axis or fixed holders. It fits most phones up to about 4 inches wide and clamps onto eyepieces roughly 1.2 to 2.4 inches in diameter. Owners like the fast alignment and solid grip, but some find it bulky and heavy on small eyepieces and note the plastic parts feel less durable than the metal body suggests.

Questions and answers

Which phones and eyepieces does it fit?
It holds most phones up to about 4 inches wide and clamps onto eyepieces roughly 1.2 to 2.4 inches in diameter. Very large phones in thick cases may not fit.
Is it better than a fixed phone holder?
Yes for alignment. The three-axis adjustment lets you center the camera without moving the scope, which fixed holders cannot do.
Will it work on a spotting scope or binoculars?
It clamps to any eyepiece within its diameter range, so it works on spotting scopes and many binoculars as well as telescopes.
Does it come with a phone case or extra plates?
No. It is the adapter only; you use your own phone and case, and the clamp grips the phone directly.
Can it hold a phone in a thick case?
Usually, but bulky or rugged cases reduce the grip margin. Removing the case gives the most secure hold.
Is it good for astrophotography?
It is fine for quick moon and planet shots. Long-exposure deep-sky work needs a proper camera and tracking mount.
