      Thanks, I’ve been practicing getting the focus sharp. It’s a tough battle between my phone’s autofocus vs manual bino adjustments and keeping the phone+bino stable. I still feel I have more work to do on that too.

        Agreed, getting the manual bino focus in the right spot and then getting the phone’s autofocus to play nicely with it is a difficult task. In addition, my bino shots introduce a lot of chromatic aberration. I’m thinking of maybe 3D printing a bracket that can help keep my phone attached to the binos, so that I can get a steadier shot with both hands.

        Here’s a recent photo I snapped of an oriental cuckoo using binos and a phone cam:

        Oriental Cuckoo, was quite far away

        It was at quite a distance so this is 10x bino zoom + cropping.
