Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up the Novagrade Digiscope Adapter
1. Find the Correct Compression Ring
Before attaching the adapter, you need to determine which compression ring fits your optic’s eyepiece. Novagrade provides multiple rings ranging from 39mm to 60mm, ensuring compatibility with nearly all eyepieces.
Start with the default ring.
If it doesn’t fit, unscrew the collar and replace it with another ring.
Insert the chosen ring and tighten the collar one or two turns—no need to overtighten.
2. Secure Your Phone
Once the adapter fits your optic, it’s time to attach your phone.
Soft-touch grippers securely hold your device, even with a protective case.
Pull back the sliding grips, position your phone, and lock it in place.
Align your phone’s camera lens with the center of the adapter.
If necessary, loosen the alignment knobs to fine-tune positioning.
Ensure the adapter’s top stop gently touches your phone for added security.
3. Attach the Adapter to Your Spotting Scope
After your phone is secured, you can attach the adapter to your spotting scope:
Slide the collar over the eyepiece.
Tighten the collar just enough to prevent movement.
If the collar appears in your viewfinder, simply zoom in to eliminate any obstruction.
4. Start Capturing Images and Videos
Once you complete the setup, you won’t have to readjust it for future uses. Simply attach your phone, secure the adapter to your optic, and start recording!
