Troubleshooting

Image is blurry

Adjust the focus ring until the image is sharp. Ensure the objective lens cap and eyecup are correctly positioned. Clean the lenses if smudges are visible.

Smartphone adapter is unstable

Ensure the smartphone is centered correctly over the adapter and that the adapter is firmly attached to the Zoom Tube. Remove any bulky phone cases if necessary.

Microscope view is not working

Ensure the objective lens cap is removed and that the objective end is placed very close to the subject. The microscope function is for extreme close-ups.

Product is difficult to grip

Utilize the ribbed housing for a secure hold. Consider using the tripod mount for extended observation sessions if grip is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Zoom Tube is ready to use out of the box. For basic observation, simply look through the eyecup and adjust focus. To use the Inspector Microscope feature, detach the objective lens cap and bring the objective end very close to the item you wish to magnify. To attach a smartphone, align the phone camera with the designated adapter port and secure it firmly. For tripod use, screw the Zoom Tube onto a standard 1/4" 20 tripod.

Compatibility:

  • Smartphones: Compatible with most standard smartphones using the built-in adapter. Specific fit may vary based on phone case thickness.
  • Tripods: Works with any tripod featuring a 1/4" 20 mounting screw.
  • Camera Clips: Compatible with the Peak Design Capture Clip system.

Care:

  • Cleaning Optics: Use a microfiber lens cloth to gently clean the objective lens and eyecup. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution can be applied sparingly to the cloth.
  • Housing: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably in a protective pouch (not included) to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  • Water Resistance: While IPX4 rated, avoid prolonged submersion. Ensure any lens caps are secured after use in wet conditions.
