MAKSY60 allows you to take photos with a smartphone using the included smartphone adapter, but by attaching the camera adapter and the optional T adapter, you can take photos with a single-lens camera.
If you are using the included tripod to take pictures, we recommend a lightweight mirrorless camera.
The standard of the T-ring (sold separately) is M42/0.75. Please select one that meets the specifications of your camera manufacturer.
