The base plate connected the Scope Mount to my tripod base and let me attach the Picatinny rail to either side for maximum flexibility in cameraphone mounting.<\/p>\n<p>From there, a double ball-head joint enabled me to perfectly line up my cameraphone with my spotting scope. It took a bit of trial and error, but I eventually got it just where I wanted it. Tightening things down, I was pleasantly surprised how rigid the assembly was \u2013 meaning I could remove my phone and reattach it repeatedly without having to realign the assembly.
