Variable Phone Adapter: this is the meaning of the acronym VPA is Swarovski made known during the 2019 edition of theIWA Outdoor Classics from Nurembergwhich ends today. This is a quick and easy-to-use connection for standard smartphones with telescopes and binoculars from the famous optical brand. The phone turns into this way a really powerful and effective telephoto lens, able to facilitate entry into digiscoping.
The assembly is nothing complicated, quite the opposite. The VPA can be mounted and adjusted by means of special locking mechanisms that modify both width and height ad hoc. The size of the smartphone and the position of the camera, therefore, fit perfectly. Connection to binoculars or telescopes requires three adapter rings of your choice. The instrument, available in anthracite color, is also made of plastic reinforced with glass fiber.
The models that can be used are i Samsung, Huawei and iPhone (not the iPhone 4 though) and most models of HTC, LG and Google Phone.
