## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy customer
*by C***Y on November 2, 2016*

My Carson HookUpz arrived today. I was excited and had to try it out right away. Looking through optics using my iPhone 7+ is amazing! It is so easy to use too, I am not sure what the other reviewers were talking about too, the product seems high quality and works well with my big iPhone 7+ on the optics I tried.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Rubber bands made it usable for me.
*by C***S on May 2, 2017*

Ok. So there's many of these adapters to choose from. There is a cheap universal model marketed under a number of brand names that is relatively difficult to set up and does not maintain it's settings for quick use. There are a few well designed units with precise tuning knobs for both the horizontal and vertical axis. These, unfortunately, are now all deeply discounted because the designers did not anticipate the development and popularity of the upcoming larger smartphones. Seems they're stuck with a large stockpile.Then, there's the Carlson. I like the way it can be easily placed on and off both the phone and optical instrument quickly once set up. For phones with a center camera, as others have pointed out, (the Galaxy S7 in my case) problems exist. While the Carlson has a tuning knob for lining up the horizontal axis, the vertical placement of the phone is via a slider with a "tensioner" at the top which utilizes a snap action to lock in place. In my case, with the phone camera aligned, that tensioner, only catches the very edge of the phone (with or without the case). In fact, trying to pull down on it causes the phone to misalign as the tensioner follows the curve of the phone thus, pushing it sideways. Maybe mine was defective, but the same slider also does not sit flush with the back of the phone due to the green protrusions designed to catch the eyepiece of the telescope or binocular. The pictures below, show all of these issues.What to do? I was ready to return it for a refund because it would not hold its alignment on my phone nor, would it hold or grasp firmly to the eyepiece of my binoculars which have large, nonfoldable eye cusps (not Carlson's fault as they indicate for "most binoculars"). Anyway, a large rubber band was the extent my engineering effort. It worked. The phone stays aligned. I can remove the phone as usual as the rubber band stretches to allow for that. Finally, it helps (though not to complete satisfaction) with the grip on the binocular. Just be sure the rubber band does not interfere with any sensors on the front of the phone. The pictures below show the mod. The eye relief due to the extended eyepiece, uses some field of view as I have to zoom in to eliminate the "circle effect". For binoculars, get the object in focus with the unused eyepiece first, then let the camera focus on that image. Also, with binoculars, you will have to use the nonadjustable eyepiece or the entire unit will spin around.All in all, I've taken some neat videos and pictures but this is primarily due to the fact that my binoculars are image stabilized and help correct for the additional movement caused by trying to hold the entire setup in alignment. One star off for flimsy attachment and the second for not being as universal as I expected. Carson should really investigate adjustment knobs for both axis and providing customers the ability to interchange several lengths of those "green grabbers" to accommodate different eyepieces.

### ⭐ Do not buy! Not a secure attachment to your phone!
*by K***Y on September 9, 2020*

This adapter was purchased to use as an attachment to the binoculars on a slit-lamp. The bottom clip is secure but the top attachment near the ocular is incredibly flimsy. Because it is not secure, the image is not clear nor is a full field of view. Good price but ultimately, it did not perform as described.
