I noticed this new product on myastroshop. It allows you to mount your mobile phone onto a Vixen/Synta style finderscope dovetail.

I've often wondered how well my mobile phone would work as a digital setting circle. Has anyone tried this or similar? From what I've read there can be challenges with the scope/mount causing magnetic interference, plus the question of the accuracy of the phone's sensors in the first place. My phone is a Galaxy S3.
I'm wondering how well this might work with a small scope on an alt-az mount (even a camera tripod) for finding some of the brighter deep sky objects (or Comet Lovejoy).
