Celestron NexYZ DX Kit - Smartphone Adapter for Digiscoping with Bluetooth Shutter Release

The NexYZ DX Kit offers an excellent introduction to the realms of astroimaging and digiscoping. This versatile adapter kit encompasses all the essentials needed to capture clear, detailed images and videos. With its innovative design, NexYZ is compatible with eyepieces ranging from 35mm to 60mm in diameter. It accommodates telescopes featuring both 1.25-inch and 2-inch eyepieces, in addition to spotting scopes, binoculars, and monoculars. For microscope enthusiasts, the kit includes an adapter ring that reduces the usable diameter to 25mm, which corresponds to the standard size of microscope eyepieces.

A robust spring and a threaded twist lock mechanism ensure a firm and secure connection to the optical instrument’s eyepiece, allowing for reliable imaging. Designed with versatility in mind, the universal smartphone adapter is fully adjustable and can accommodate virtually any device, often with its case still attached. Even larger “Pro” models are effortlessly supported, with the sturdy platform capable of handling their weight without issue. If multiple users wish to snap photos through the same optic, the NexYZ’s easy-to-use spring-loaded clamps allow for quick device swaps in mere seconds.

Ideal for star parties and group bird-watching activities, the NexYZ DX Kit enables each participant to capture their own images of shared experiences. What sets NexYZ apart from other smartphone adapters is its unique three-axis adjustment feature. While most adapters only provide limited adjustments along two axes and require precise placement of the phone, NexYZ allows users to position their phone on the platform freely. After centering the device over the eyepiece using the X and Y knobs, users can adjust the up-and-down positioning until the entire field of view is captured. Remarkably, this ultra-precise adjustment is quicker and simpler than what traditional adapters offer; the entire setup process takes around 30 seconds.

Should you change phones, eyepieces, or even optical instruments, only slight tweaks are necessary to reposition the camera over the new eyepiece. Furthermore, users can switch their images from portrait to landscape orientation effortlessly by rotating the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the knobs for proper alignment.

Adding to the kit's convenience, the NexYZ DX Kit comes with a Bluetooth shutter release remote. This feature enables users to capture shake-free images without physically disturbing the position of their phone or telescope when pressing the on-screen button. The remote is compatible with both Android and iOS smartphones. By using this Bluetooth shutter release remote, you can achieve the best image capture; it allows operation of the camera shutter on any smartphone without the need to touch the device's screen or buttons, thus preventing unwanted blurriness due to movement.

Pairing the Bluetooth remote with your smartphone is a quick process that takes only seconds. In summary, the NexYZ DX Kit serves as a complete digiscoping solution, connecting your smartphone to an eyepiece while ensuring steady shots with its Bluetooth shutter release feature. It is designed to work seamlessly with almost all smartphone models, including the latest offerings from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
