Wonderful Rig for Stabilizing a Phone When Taking Videos
This simple but high-quality rig helps to stabilize a phone and capture high-quality videos. The side handle grips puts you in control of your phone, allowing for smooth movement, as needed, to follow your subjects or expand your visual range. At the same time, it allows you to easily use your thumb to start or stop the video recording.

Helpful tool but I’ve used better cell phone clips.
I film YouTube videos with my iPhone 13 mini, which does great except in low light situations… so I bought this primarily for the cold shoe (to mount a light on top) and in summary that has been a very useful feature for a reasonable investment in the rig, a light, and a small tripod.I do have some specific comments, though…1. The cell phone clip is a key component of this device (arguably the most important part). I find it to be an odd combination of a very strong spring and a screw to hold it in place AFTER it’s already clipped in. I do not find it easy to use (even with my SMALL model of phone, in a slim case). Also, the red rubber cushions inside the clip were prone to popping out from the very beginning and (not surprisingly) one of them eventually got lost altogether. I am unclear about whether these rubber cushions are actually necessary. But I’ve had cell phone clips (on tripods, for example) that worked better than this.2. The rig feels good in the hands and it frees up one hand to interact with the touchscreen more easily. (But I don’t find myself carrying it around for this purpose because my iPhone fits in my pocket and this rig does not). I do use it for shooting by hand in specific cases with a light in the cold shoe mount; when I know in advance that I need to put some light on my subject for a while. In general I use my Xenvo tripod (even for shooting by hand) more than I use this rig. That’s not only because the tripod is easier to use and to carry around, but also because it makes a better selfie stick.3. Since I don’t shoot with this rig much by hand (see above), I usually use it with a tripod (i.e., set up with a light on top). I find it to be a bit bulky perched on a tripod, so I use it with the larger of my two small tripods (a Gorilla Pod designed for a DSLR rather than a cell phone). It *might* work with my Xenvo tripod, which is built for a smaller device like a cell phone or GoPro, but I predict it would be prone to tipping over in many shooting conditions.In summary, I’m the kind of person who likes to have the smallest and simplest possible kit. I don’t enjoy collecting all these accessories. But I don’t regret my purchase because with the cold shoe mounts, this rig does something my other accessories don’t.

Excellent value for nonprofessional uses and users
I’m very satisfied with this rig at its price point. It easily allows me to avoid handheld shots (as an older person that’s especially helpful). And, it fits very nicely into situations where I don’t need the benefits of a gimbal.The rig’s feature set is very adequate for ordinary smartphone videography. I don’t feel my smartphone is at risk of falling out of the rig or being damaged by the rig. I find the rig’s width to be adequate to ordinary shooting situations where typical things could be plugged into my large sub-mini-tablet smartphone.My only concern is the build quality. Part of my concern stems from the impression I had from other reviewers about the overall sturdiness of the rig. The build is lighter than I was expecting, making it a little spooky to use with anything but lightweight attachments (limiting more than I expected, for example, the type of LED lighting I’d be comfortable using). There’s more flexing within the rig than I was expecting. But I wouldn’t call the rig flimsy, either. I think the real problem is that my expectations were a little too high.More of a concern is the fit and durability of the cold shoes. Attachments fit loosely in the cold shoes, and the plastic seems not to be of uniform thickness (making the process of clamping attachments into the cold shoe feel less than positive).But I remain satisfied with my purchase, with those few caveats. Certainly the rig represents an outstanding value for nonprofessional uses and users.

Funciona bien

This plastic tool is very well done. Is simple, light weight, practical, has several ways to connect more items like light, microphone and tripod. It is perfect.

Super. Danke.
