Metal Phone Tripod Mount 3 Cold Shoes & Arca Port, 360° Smartphone Tripod Adapter for iPhone Samsung Cell Phone Stand Holder for Desktop Video Live Streaming Vlogging Rig

It's constructed of solid metal, holds event the biggest phones, locks securely in place, and holds the phone tightly. The problem I had with plastic mounts that just used spring loaded force to grip the phone was that the phone could pop out on occasion if it was jarred. Leading to breaking your phone on the concrete if outside. This uses a spring loaded jaw, but also locks in place. Nothing is as secure as a Go Pro mount, but this might be as close as you can get. Definitely worth the money.

It works great. It's well made, steel not plastic, and I loved it, first time out. I locks down on the phone, is easily adjustable and really sturdy. I would buy it again.

The phone holder itself is very well made of heavy materials and the finish is excellent. It holds my IPhone 11 Pro Max with a thick Defender case with no problems and the clamp locks in place to securely hold the phone. Phone can be rotated vertically or horizontal and locks in that position. The quick connect attachment is super easy to attach and detach and has a locking switch to prevent accidentally separating it.I needed the ability to tilt the holder up and down which the holder In itself will not do but I purchased another Ulanzi product U-100 quick release ball head that makes this phone holder a perfect setup for meOnly downside is the price it is expensive compared to others I looked at but if your like me and you require a quality well built long lasting product the price is reasonable.

I like this adapter/mount well enough that I’ve recommended it to other people I know, but there are some things about it that I don’t like. I haven’t had it very long, so this is all basically early impressions, but early impressions from someone with a fair amount of photo experience.Build quality seems fine and it’s only a few small steps away from feeling premium. It feels pretty good in hand with a smooth finish and parts that fit together well.My two biggest complaints are the groove width in the jaws and the spring being too strong.I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max in what I consider a fairly average case. The case isn’t all that bulky, though it also isn’t the slimmest, and it’s pushing the limits of “fitting” in the grooves in the jaws. I’ve been thinking about switching to a thicker case for more protection, but a thicker case would be more problematic for fitting in this mount. But, the jaws do open plenty wide enough for my phone - there’s roughly 1/2” to spare.I can operate the jaws OK, but it’s awkward due to the spring strength. The spring is strong enough that it’ll hold the phone without having to tighten the locking knob, which is nice, but the downside is that makes the spring strong enough to offer an uncomfortable amount of resistance to open and hold open the jaws to fit the phone in. It’s not a deal-breaker for me, but I can imagine it being a deal-breaker for a lot of people.I would prefer, I think, a cam lever lock for the jaws rather than a knob. Especially with the stronger spring, a lever would be make dealing with it much easier.Rather than what seems to be teeth or pins that grab in recesses for the rotation lock, I think I would prefer just the detents and friction. I don’t like having to “hunt” for when the knob is loose enough to disengage the lock without being so loose it feels sloppy.Considering the other options I found, this mount seems to represent a good value, but I still think it’s overpriced at regular price. Buying it on sale, I didn’t feel like I got a bargain, but it’s more in line with what I think the price should be. Having used some of the cheaper ones, I wouldn’t want to buy one of those - they’re clunkier to operate, they break, etc. This one, while not perfect, seems like it’ll last and it mostly feels OK to use.

Very sturdy! Highly recommend it. Holds phone WITH case on. Can't say that for those flimsy plastic holders.
