Using the Radian 2 with your Camera Phone
The new Radian 2 app is designed to not only work with DSLR cameras but with your phone's camera as well. You just need to get a cell phone mount and attach it to the Radian 2. It is recommended that mount allows the phone to be centered on the Radian 2. We have recommendations. Overview of supported features
