Align & Lock Fig.7 Slide phone vertically until camera is roughly aligned with camera cutout. Fig.8 Fig.9 Turn alignment screw until camera is centered in camera cutout. Slide top clamp down against phone edge. MULTIPLE-LENS CAMERA PHONE: If there is more than one rear-facing camera, use the primary one. Typically, the primary is a 1x wide-angle color camera, and the other camera(s) are secondary. For Apple dual camera phones, the primary camera is the one closest to the corner.
Align & Lock (cont.) Fig.11 Fig.10 Fig.12 LOCK While holding top clamp tight to phone, rotate to lock. Figure 11 shows a properly aligned camera. If needed, use alignment screw and top clamp to make further adjustments. Before attaching binocular, make sure your binocular is focused. If your binocular has flexible eyecups, remove eyecups (if possible) or fold down the eyecups before attaching adapter.
Attaching to Optic Fig.13 Select the optic adapter ring that best fits your binocular eyepiece and insert it into the optic adapter. In rare instances the adapter will work best without any adapter ring. 8 Fig.14 Align optic adapter over eyepiece and press down firmly. Be careful not to move your camera out of alignment. Fig.15 Phone can be positioned in either portrait or landscape mode.
Attaching to Optic (cont.) Fig.16 Ensure that optic adapter is flush to the eyepiece of your binocular. Fig.17 Turn on camera. If image is not centered, repeat alignment steps. Fig.18 To maximize your image, pinch to enlarge image. For best results, use in video mode.
TO REMOVE PHONE FROM ADAPTER: To save your alignment, make no further adjustments to the top clamp and alignment knob. Simply remove phone using right clamp only as shown in Fig. 4. USING ADAPTER AGAIN: The alignment of your phone to the adapter should be saved from the initial setup, so many steps can be skipped (FIG 1-2, 7-10) and only a quick fine adjustment of the alignment may be needed.
Q3: I can’t align my phone vertically with the top clamp, it won’t fit. What do I do? A3: If you go through the alignment process, and there is no way to achieve vertical alignment because it’s restricted by the top clamp, try removing your phone case. Alternatively, you can remove top clamp assembly using screw as shown below in left figure.
Q5: My phone doesn’t seem to work with adapter, how do I know which ones will work? A5: Please see the smartphone sizing guide below. SMARTPHONESI ZI NGGUI DE If your phone (in it's case) fits in "portrait" orientation between the 2 arrows, it will fit the smartphone binocular adapter. Q6: My phone rotates on the eyepiece when used in landscape (horizontal) mode? A6: If the eyepiece can rotate on your binocular, then you can try the following: A.
Q7: My image is not centered or is not a complete round image, what is wrong? A7: Adjust phone alignment in vertical direction using top clamp (FIG 10), and in horizontal direction by using alignment screw (FIG 8). Check that phone is flat on adapter (FIG 6), and adapter is flush with optic (FIG 16). Q8: My other phone camera or flash is covered by adapter, why is that? A8: First, we recommend using the device with only the primary rear camera. If problems persist, please contact customer support.
Tips & Tricks: PHOTOGRAPHY • Tap object of interest on your phone screen to autofocus. • For videos, tap and hold object of interest on phone screen for a second to lock focus. Tap again to release the focus lock. • In low light conditions, turn your phone screen brightness to its lowest level. The rubber parts glow in the dark making it easier to use the adapter. • For long sessions, try using battery cases or phone chargers to prevent your battery from draining.
Storage/Cleaning Information: • To avoid damage, always store adapter in protective case when not in use. • For longest life of springs/plastic, store in dry area at room temperature. • Adapter should be cleaned with soft, damp cloth only. Do not use any chemicals or abrasives. Customer Service: We will be happy to help you with any problems you may experience with your HookUpz TM Smartphone Binocular Adapter.
