7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is selected from the group consisting of a smartphone and a tablet device.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a handle;

an adjustable chamber operably attached to the handle, the adjustable chamber receiving a mobile computing device that performs image capture;

one or more adjustable members positioned within the adjustable chamber, the one or more adjustable members retracting toward the handle based on contact between one or more edge portions of the mobile computing device and the one or more adjustable members so that the mobile computing device fits within the adjustable chamber; and

one or more member enclosures positioned within the adjustable chamber, the one or more member enclosures receiving the one or more adjustable members during retraction, the one or more member enclosures having one or more slider rails that connect to the one or more adjustable members via one or more slider grooves.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising one or more flaps that retains the mobile computing device in a fixed position, the one or more flaps being positioned within the adjustable chamber at a distinct location from the one or more adjustable members.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more member enclosures have one or more springs that connect to the one or more adjustable members.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an enhancement lens that is operably attached to an edge of the adjustable chamber, the enhancement lens being positioned over an image capture device of the mobile computing device through an aperture within the adjustable chamber.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an enhancement lens that is operably attached to the handle.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the mobile computing device is selected from the group consisting of a smartphone and a tablet device.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a rear portion of the adjustable chamber is flat.

15. An apparatus comprising:

a handle;

an adjustable chamber operably attached to the handle, the adjustable chamber receiving a mobile computing device that performs image capture;

one or more adjustable members positioned within the adjustable chamber, the one or more adjustable members retracting toward the handle based on contact between one or more edge portions of the mobile computing device and the one or more adjustable members so that the mobile computing device fits within the adjustable chamber; and

one or more member enclosures positioned within the adjustable chamber, the one or more member enclosures receiving the one or more adjustable members during retraction, the one or more member enclosures having one or more slider grooves that connect to the one or more adjustable members via one or more slider rails.
