Which V13 guide should you read first?
These guides are about the V13 eyepiece camera: a black electronic eyepiece for a telescope you already own. It fits a 28–50 mm tube, shows the view on a 1.5-inch screen, and can send that view to Viidure on up to two phones. Pick the guide that matches the question you are asking.

The V13 is a black electronic eyepiece. It takes the place of the glass eyepiece on a telescope you already own, when that telescope has a drawtube from 28 mm to 50 mm. You watch the picture on the 1.5-inch screen on the camera. The screen is a TFT, 320 by 240, full-view IPS. When you want the same picture on a phone, turn the camera on, join its Wi-Fi, and open Viidure. Viidure can show that view on two phones at the same time.
Focus with the telescope's own focuser. Seat the camera in the tube the way you seat a normal eyepiece, then turn the focuser until the screen is sharp. Charge the camera from the Type-C port on the body before you go out. The built-in battery is 800 mAh and is rated for about 150 minutes of continuous use. The page lists free UK delivery, with next-day dispatch from our UK warehouse. The price on the page includes VAT.
Video you keep is 1920 by 1080, H.264, at up to 30 frames a second, from a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor. Put that clip on a MicroSD card, also called a TF card, up to 256 GB. The card is separate, so fit one when you want the recording kept on the camera. The recording format follows ITU-T Recommendation H.264. The charge port follows the USB Type-C specification. Returns on this shop sit alongside the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Read the guide that matches the question you have. One guide covers the sensor, the 1920 by 1080 video, and the 800 mAh battery. One guide covers seating the camera in a 28 to 50 mm tube. One guide covers the 1.5-inch screen and Viidure. The reviews on the product page show 4.9 out of 5 from 358 reviews. The listed price is £64.47 including VAT, and the page also shows an RRP of £77.40.
A glass eyepiece shows the view to one eye at the tube. The V13 puts that view on the screen on the camera, and Viidure can put it on two phones. You still use the telescope you already own. Support for the shop is [email protected]. The returns address on the contact page is Returns Department, WifiTelesc, United Kingdom. The VAT number published with the shop is GB 345 8921 10.
On a clear night, seat the V13, charge it, and decide where you want the picture. The 1.5-inch screen is enough when you are at the telescope. Open Viidure when a second person wants the same view, on a second phone. Keep a clip by fitting a separate MicroSD card up to 256 GB. Leave the card out when you only want the live picture. The camera records 1920 by 1080, H.264, up to 30 frames a second, from the 2-megapixel CMOS sensor, for about 150 minutes on the built-in 800 mAh battery.
The recording format is H.264, the codec in ITU-T Recommendation H.264. The body charges from a USB Type-C port. UK returns sit alongside the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
What should you expect from the V13 eyepiece camera?
The V13 uses a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor and records 1920 × 1080 video, H.264, at up to 30 fps. The built-in 800 mAh battery is rated for about 150 minutes of continuous use, and the body charges from a Type-C port. The screen is a 1.5-inch TFT, 320 × 240. A MicroSD card up to 256 GB is separate.
Which WiFi eyepiece fits the telescope you already own?
The V13 seats in a 28–50 mm eyepiece tube on a telescope you already own. Watch on the 1.5-inch screen on the camera, or open Viidure and see the same view on up to two phones. You focus with the telescope's own focuser. The camera takes the place of a normal eyepiece.
How does the V13 fit a 28–50 mm tube?
Seat the V13 in place of a normal eyepiece. The tube range is 28 mm to 50 mm. Focus with the telescope's own focuser, then watch the 1.5-inch screen. If you want the clip on the camera, fit a separate MicroSD card up to 256 GB. Charge from the Type-C port on the body.
When should you watch on the screen instead of Viidure?
The 1.5-inch screen is on the camera, so you can watch without a phone. Viidure shows the same view on up to two phones at the same time. Turn the camera on, join its Wi-Fi, and open the app. Video is 1920 × 1080, H.264, up to 30 fps, from a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor.
