Smartoscope Vario any issues? (1 Viewer)

[KBHC73]

Hi, I use a Kowa 883 with the 25-60x & fixed 35x & wondered if anybody is using the Vario adapter with the above eyepieces? Just wondering how snug the Vario ring is once fitted onto the eyepiece or if there's any play etc?

Thanks

I do with the 25-60. Fits perfectly, no play.

Do you need those locking rings that Kowa make?

Thanks

The spacers? No.

The spacers? No.

Thanks. The Kowa video on Youtube says you need them especially in landscope mode due to the weight of the Phone will cause the eyecup to rotate but i'll take your advice chap ; )

Thanks again.

Yes I saw that video - it may be phone/case/camera lens specific i.e. if you need to extend the eyecup to align the camera to the eyepiece I can see that happening, but I did not need it.
