Now give your smart phone night vision capability without having to acquire different adapters for your particular smart phone!



Tele Vue’s excellent FoneMate is a universal Smart Phone Adapter that interfaces with many different optics.  Completely adjustable, the FoneMate will accept any smart phone with any protective case (from the ridiculously large, to the thinnest models out there), and lock it into a cradle that mates with other optics.  Most smart phone adapters are specifically designed to work with certain phones.  But FoneMate is the most rugged and universal solution to adapting your smart phone to other lenses.  That’s where TNVC steps in.

Tele Vue and TNVC teamed up to develop the ultimate Smart Phone to Night Vision Adapter System.  An exclusive TNVC adapter will interface the FoneMate with any night vision monocular that contains a PVS-14 Eyepiece Assembly (PVS-14, MOD-3B, GT14, Etc), providing perfect alignment for crisp photography and viewing on a digital screen.  It will even attach to the popular Trijicon Electro Optic line of thermal imaging systems.  This is the first system specifically designed for this application.





Now, you can take incredible night vision photos with ease.  No longer will you need an expensive DSLR Camera that must be focused independently of the NVG and provides slightly out of focus images.  Your smart phone will automatically focus on the image its camera sees.  All you need to do is focus the night vision goggle.  The FoneMate Smart Phone Adapter System is the best way to capture night vision images.


There are two packages available.

1.  FoneMate Night Vision Smart Phone Adapter System – Includes the Tele Vue FoneMate + TNVC PVS-14 Eyepiece Adapter.  This system is all you need to capture beautiful night vision images on any smart phone.
 2. FoneMate Night Vision Smart Phone Afocal Astronomy Adapter System – Includes Tele Vue FoneMate + TNVC PVS-14 Eyepiece Adapter + Afocal Astronomy Adapter.

The Afocal Astronomy Adapter gives you the ability to attach your FoneMate – equipped night vision monocular to many popular telescope eyepieces for unparalleled star-gazing.  Not only will night vision supercharge your telescope’s capability, but you’ll be able to capture it on your smart phone!




This system is available exclusively at TNVC and is available here!

Wrong thread. How'd that happen. Disregard.

what's the good word on recoil with it attached? Looks like a great product.  Good job guys.

Thank you.  We made these for video and photo taking.  I don't practice nor advocate folks using a cell phone for viewing a reticle and aiming a firearm to shoot in this fashion. I know some do it though.  I guess another question then arises; what is the official recoil rating of cell phones?

Congrats on bringing a new product to market.  For $159 I'd like to see more pictures of what the unit can do before purchasing.

You bet, we have a bunch more we will get up on the web site. We were in a hurry to get the main body pics up late Friday before the weekend. Standby...

Interested!

I've owned several TeleVue telescopic ep's throughout the years. Still love my Panoptic
Who can't be impressed with the companies innovations and quality?

Cannot agree more...Tele Vue and Al Nagler are an iconic bunch to say the least.

To this....

Some new cell phone adapter pics from a TNV-14 L3 WPT and Green Thin Filmed Omni 8.  Enjoy.

The accelerations encountered in recoil on most centerfire rifles are high enough to do serious damage to circuitry in a cell phone. Measurements I've taken on an AR-15 top 1000 g's at very high frequencies, driven mostly by the bolt carrier group cycling. 223 recoil alone (which is very little) is in the hundreds of g's. Given the price of phones these days, I wouldn't think about mounting one on a rifle.

I love my Tele Vue TV-60 scope I use as a spotter.

I have a host of Tele Vue eyepieces, and all are quality.

Can you cite even one anecdotal example of someone whose phone was damaged using any of the thousands of riflescope cellphone adapters?

Nope. Then again, I've never met anyone who has actually used one. My measurements, however, are not wrong. I recently published a paper about it. *shrug*

You can certainly dampen out vibrations in the mount (and if I was designing one specifically to mount a phone on a rifle, you can be sure I'd do exactly that), but I don't believe this was designed with that specific application in mind.

Anyways, enough derailing of the thread. Very cool, TNVC!

Thanks Rocketman and don't worry about derailing the thread, nor 35Remington. It's our own Industry forum and a valid discussion.  

As I mentioned we know some folks have used a cell phone directly behind a scope to shoot and record.  My main concern is using a "cell phone reticle" that your viewing from your phone and not from the device itself. I inherently think this is not safe and and a practice I do not encourage nor does our staff. (I know we're very conservative around here even when we give TRUE ID distances with thermal, but safety is paramount)  As for recoil testing, dunno too much about that as we have not completed testing on either cell phones, nor this adapter.

Good discussion either way and feel free to start another thread if so desired, I want to hear the debate among others about using a "cell phone reticle".

I respect that fact that the TNVC/TeleVue adapter was not designed for rifle-scope-mounted uses, and is intended as a viewing device and one for photography.  No problems there.

On the general topic of scope-mounting a video camera, there are many dead animals on YouTube who can attest to the fact that nothing significant occurs in the realm of POI shift, or phone destruction.

No doubt, as I've seen the rock star Utube vids and had reports our unit getting used as such.  I'm a really safety minded guy and just cannot wrap my arms around using a secondary aiming device as a retilcle aiming device.  All it takes is one of those moments of an errant shot due to a cell phone Vid camera glitch into a really bad day.

Can't resist. I'm in. Ordered!

Thanks TangoXray. We appreciate your business!

Bump for question from the NV fourm.
