Best Astro Photography Smart Phone Mount For My Telescope

Articulating Camera Arm https://ebay.us/g7UOWf Ulanzi Tripod Phone Mount https://ebay.us/r1Uua3 It was a 'Strawberry Moon' last night so being an amateur astronomer I thought I'd get the large telescope out and photograph it with my Digital SLR. But unlike professional or well organised astronomers I discovered my camera was dead and the backup batteries were also dead. Is I thought no worries I've use my Nexus 5 with Night Sky facilities (yep you guessed it it was also dead). So not being put off I decide to use my iPhone, which also was low on power so I put it in a fully charged battery case. Then I dug out all the iPhone to telescope and microscope adapters I'd bought but never used on eBay, they were crap, cheap plastic not wide enough or strong enough to hold the phone without it falling out of the mount, or falling off the telescope. Just about to give up I remembered heavy metal articulating arm iPhone and Ulanzi Phone mount I'd been using recently for my Robot Video close up work, with its heavy but all metal will metal jaws.
