Smartphone Adapter for Dioptrx Eyepieces

This Tele Vue FoneMate adapter connects a smartphone to any Dioptrx-compatible eyepiece, turning a telescope into a digiscoping instrument. It suits astronomers who want to photograph the night sky using the phone they already carry.

Check Your Phone Dimensions Before Ordering

The clamp accepts devices from 60 x 114 mm up to 120 x 212 mm, which corresponds to roughly 2.4 x 4.5 inches to 4.7 x 8.3 inches. Verify that your handset falls inside this range; larger or smaller models will not seat securely.

Clamp Mechanism and Everyday Handling

Spring-loaded jaws grip the phone without tools, so the unit can be attached or removed in seconds during an observing session. The low-profile mount keeps the handset close to the eyepiece, reducing vibration while still allowing quick access to on-screen controls.

Questions about this item

What smartphones fit the Tele Vue FoneMate adapter and do I need to buy anything else?

The adapter accepts phones from 60 x 114 mm up to 120 x 212 mm. It attaches directly to Dioptrx eyepieces, so no extra parts are required.

How do I know if my Dioptrx eyepiece will work with the FoneMate?

The FoneMate is designed for every Tele Vue Dioptrx-compatible eyepiece; if your eyepiece accepts Dioptrx, the adapter will mount on it.

What does the 120 x 212 mm maximum size mean when I am at the telescope?

It is the largest phone the clamps can hold — any smartphone up to 4.7 x 8.3 inches will stay secure while you capture images through the eyepiece.
