I use a phone holder to record the video, this one in particular https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D5W0WES/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use a local streetlight to make sure the camera is looking in the glass at a good angle, then record what I want. This is what the recordings look like when I shoot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjZZVqYoNug
I know you asked about bins+camera phones, but I think your success will be limited. Expensive DSLR isn't absolutely necessary, though, I have gotten a lot of great pictures out of my cheaper-and-smaller Panasonic Lumix FZ200, which has a builtin 600mm non-DSLR lens -- getting a lot of optical zoom is critical.
I've done some digiscoping with a spotting scope plus this relatively cheap Gosky adapter from Amazon (this one would fit bins: https://www.amazon.com/Gosky-Universal-Smartphone-Telescope-Microscope/dp/B01D5W0WES/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486338210&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=gosk+y+spotting+scope). It's ok, but it takes a bit to setup -- you're not getting any warbler pics with this kind of setup, but it serves for ducks and other things that tend to be not moving.
What kind of birds are you hoping to take pictures of? And are you looking for pics-for-ID or pics-for-aesthetic-beauty?
I'd also be interested to hear about what people recommend. I was looking for one myself but I was not sure if the branded solutions from Celestron or Tele Vue, that I've seen, only work for their eyepieces or do they will they work on any eyepiece.
I saw this one Amazon and for the price I thought it would be good just to try it out.

I have this one from Gosky, but I didn't check the specs. It doesn't fit my 2" focuser, (I need this one) and I have yet to try it on my binoculars, but it's very well made for a cheap phone holder. Made of metal; quite heavy, too.
With this.
I lined up my phone to the eyepiece while my scope was aimed at Polaris so I wouldn't start off chasing a moving target.
