The assembly process is quick and easy, users simply attach the adapter to the relevant eyepiece cup and slot the phone in. Suitable adapter rings are available for a wide variety of Swarovski Optik spotting scopes and binoculars.
The latest innovation from Swarovski Optik promises to allow a new perspective in smartphone photography
The new PA-i5 adapter for iPhone® 5/5s
The latest innovation from Swarovski promises to give its users a whole new perspective when it comes to smartphone photography, as the long-range optical specialists announce their PA-i5 adapter for iPhone* 5/5s.
Put simply, the device will turn your spotting scope or binoculars into telephoto zoom lenses in a single motion, thus allowing you to capture special birding moments on your smartphone.
If you have compatible Swarovski equipment - CL Companion, EL family (32, 42 & 50) and the new SLC family (42 & 56) you should be able to produce top-quality photos and videos and reliably capture unique moments that can be shared quickly and easily with your friends.
Combining a spotting scope or binoculars with an adapter for iPhone* is setting a trend amongst birders, with PhoneSkope's new C-4 Universal Mini Adapter already reaching us last month - the new bits of kit really do allow you to create a professional looking photo or video from an easy to handle smartphone.
The manufacturer says the assembly process is quick and easy. Users simply attach the adapter to the relevant eyepiece cup and slot the phone in. Perhaps one of the best features is once the adapter ring is removed after digiscoping, the remaining aluminium frame will provide an elegant, top-quality, and robust protection for your iPhone* in everyday use. Owners can easily carry their iPhone* normally like this without getting the protruding components caught. All the operating features of the iPhone* are available while using the adapter and the specially designed strap ensures the iPhone* is secure.
All in all, sounds like a rather nifty little gadget - can't wait to try it out.
The adapter is available from specialist retailers from March 2014, as well as at uk.swarovskioptik.com / swarovskioptik.com
