SMALLRIG Metal Phone Mount with Baseplate for Arca-Swiss,Compatible for DJI RS 4 Mini & RS 3 Mini, Cell Phone Mount Adapter Support Free Adjustment Joints, Phone Tripod Mount for iPhone 16 15-5338

very sturdy great addition to my Iphone, and Reeflex case

Works but has to be mounted direct to the RS4 mini, not the slide plate. and also has to be tilted upside down.

Short form: If you are looking for a nice phone mount for using your phone camera as a camera, this works well, is easy to use, and the price is very reasonable. It has a lot of good features and is made so whether you are planning to put your phone on a tripod or gimbal this should hold it securely.Longer:I've owned a number of SmallRig products over the years and I have never been disappointed. When I'm buying photo and video gear, I always check to see what SmallRig offers first because I know what they make will be useful and high quality. This phone holder is no exception. Good materials, good craftsmanship.It fits every arca swiss base I've tested, it holds the phone securely with spring tension only - no manual locks or tension adjustments. The phone holder has padding on the jaws so it is less likely to slip or damage the phone. There are 1/4-20 holes in sensible locations, a cold shoe on one side of the phone holder.The mount allows the phone to be oriented vertically or horizontally and includes detents to help the phone snap into the correct orientation. The hinges have enough friction that it doesn't seem to sag due to gravity in normal use, without having so much friction that it's impossible to adjust. It's also sized correctly to clip into a gimbal designed for a mirrorless camera, giving you extra versatility. I've tried it with a couple of gimbals and it worked for both with a bit of adjustment. I don't have a DJI RS Mini gimbal so I can't verify that specifically.The holder balances well enough that you can use it as a desktop phone holder as well, but the grip is a bit excessive for that application so you probably won't actually use it that way for long.

Nice and sturdy build quality. Holds my phone with a tight grip. Fits on my RS4 Mini gimbal with no problems. I also like how the color of this mount matches my RS4 Mini. I'm loving how it turns from horizontal to vertical. I wish this were a magnetic mount however, for what it is, I can mount this anywhere I'm using an Arca-Swiss mount. Having a built-in cold shoe is also a plus.

This review is for the SmallRig Arca-Standard Phone Support (ID: 5338). While the product is designed to work with the DJI RS3 and RS4 Mini gimbals and Arca-compatible tripods, it also works with most tripods with a 1/4" mounting screw. A neat trick is that the stand is well-balanced so that it can moonlight as a desktop stand in a pinch without any tripod at all. There are also a few 1/4" holes milled into the frame, which might be useful for mounting an external SSD since iPhones can now record in ProRES RAW directly to USB-C storage. The price, at the time of review, was $26.99, placing it in the middle of the pack when compared to similar accessories. I have a few other metal phone tripod holders that are only capable of rotation, so the SmallRig's ability to tilt and rotate is much appreciated. One feature I miss is that my existing stand has knobs, allowing me to lock the clamp and rotation into a fixed position. A minor nitpick is that since the clamp width can't be locked, it would likely be better for the cold shoe mount to be positioned on the fixed side of the mechanism for maximum stability. Alternatively, they could have milled a cold shoe on both sides of the clamp, giving users a choice. Overall, I think this product is versatile and well-made.

This is a solidly built phone mount. As usual, this is great quality from Small Rig.This is large enough for my iPhone ProMax. I’ve paired it with my tripod, and the arca Swiss mount works fine. There’s a 1/4” screw mount if you have other accessories to connect to your phone (light, microphone, etc).It swivels just fine, and is heavier than you’d think. It fits my needs for recording and pictures for both landscape and portrait mode.Overall it’s a bit pricey for a mount, but it’s great for what it does and built really well.Id recommend this to anyone that’s using their phone for media purposes.

I've made no qualms about coming down on Smallrig for small mistakes in the past, and this is exactly why. Because this is a classic example of what I know Smallrig is Capable of. Tolerances are decently tight, fittings are exactly where they should be, and the overall design is well thought out and well put together. This is Smallrig at their best, and it is what I know they are fully capable of made manifest. I like this company, I've picked up a lot of their stuff in the past, and this feels very much like a return to form for them, just a solidly built piece of kit with all the polish I have come to expect from the company.

It's simple and high quality like all of Smallrigs products, but I'm surprised there's no adjustment on the tightness for the pivot points. If the mount is going to experience any kind of motion, it's going to wear down over time and you'll have no way to keep it pointed where you want it to be.
