Take Apart a digital camera. Remove the battery, safely discharge the capacitor. Be Careful it hurts if you get zapped. Remove the eyepiece lenses, cut them if they are attached.

Measure the lens and make adjustments if using a different camera. Clean the lens thoroughly any dirt or scratches will cause adverse effects. Attach lenses together with a small amount of glue.

Cut a 4 cm x 6 cm piece of plexiglass.(the unit)
Cut a 2.6 cm x 2.6 cm square piece of plexiglass.(the mounting plate)

Cut a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm square slot in one end of the plexiglass. ( This is where the unit and plate merge to become almighty and powerful)
Cut a 10mm x 15mm rectangular hole in the other end.  (This should be the rough size of your lens assembly)

Grind the inner edges of the 2.5cm hole(the larger one) so that the space between the two sides form a trapezoid. On the 2.5cm square place a piece of double sided tape on the 'Smaller' side. Make sure to grind a little at a time. This will form the lock and is critical to structural integrity.

Enjoy the fruits! It adds about 30% more view with my Smart Phone over stock. If your image is blurry, check for dust/smudges on the lens assembly. I will be using this mount for a few more awesome smart phone modifications. Make sure to subscribe if you like this Instuctable!
