Photo's don't do this thing justice. Looks like the throw away plastic clamp from an Alibaba $5 selfie stick, but is actually a fantastically engineered LIGHTWEIGHT METAL smartphone clamp.
Better than the MagSafe Tripod Mounts.
Whaaaaaaaa??? Oh yes.
Your phone won't rotate in the clamp accidentally when you're shooting. Your phone won't pop off when you press an accessory moment lens into the socket. Because the cold shoe mount is built into the top rock solid, you don't have a floppy cold shoe thingy bopping around like the MagSafe option.
But the MagSafe is much faster! Not so much. I don't need an extra second or two to check if my phone is level when I pop it into this mechanical clamp. It will be. I don't have to fuss with a wonky rotating cold shoe thing on the MagSafe adapter that doesn't always clamp down properly.
If you're thinking about the MagSafe options, try this first. At the very least, buy this mechanical clamp to evaluate it against the much more expensive (and arguably not as great) MagSafe options.
You can save some money here, and maybe end up with a stronger, more reliable, light weight, and space saving solution for mounting your smartphone.
I LOVE this clamp! Minimalist film makers and gram counters, this thing weighs exactly 69g. Excellent!!
