ManfrottoUniversal Smartphone Clamp, Pro Version (MCPIXI), for Mini Camera Tripod, Table Tripod,Compact Tripod, Vlogging, Black

I am super skiddish about taking my phone out of its case! It would be just my luck to fall as soon as I do. This makes it difficult to find a teipod mounting attachment that will fit my large phone and especially with its case on. I have a Google Pixel 7 Pro and an otterbox protective case (i think the defender series) that makes its deminsions, case included, 6-7/8"(tall) x 3-1/2"(wide) x 7-1/2"(diagonal). And this adapter, tripod mount, attachment actually fits across the width of my phone in its otterbox. The 1st and only one that i have found, in my price range, that can accommodate my phone in its case. But, even more impressive than the fact that it fits, is that my phone is secure in it! It feels very stable and has a strong grip on my phone. And even though I slip it on the bottom half of the phone (as opposed to directly in the mid section) it holds it securely and the extra weight of it being " top heavy", for lack of a better term, does not effect the stability of the grip (i put it across the bottom half of my phone in order to avoid clamping down over the volume &/or power buttons). I think the amazing grip and stability is due, in large part, because the actual padded grips themselves have an angle to them that i dont see with other brands. They come from under and up around to the front and up and over the top around to the front, not allowing for any wobble. There is no chance tht the pressure that the holder exerts on the phone will inadvertently squeeze and eject the phone out of it like other brands have done. I recomend this phone holder, tripod mount thing to anyone who wants a secure way to atrach thier phone, in a case or not, big or smaller, to a 1/4 screw type attachable accessory. U will have peace of mind and beable to focus on whatever u are doing instead of worrying about how securly attached u phone is. For me, it allows me to focus on my subject that I am taking a picture/video rearranging the subject and then taking another shot of it in a timely mannor without wasting time and energy to make sure my phone is secure and ready to go. Buy it, use it, and love it. U won't regret it!

This is a totally decent smartphone clamp - others have said that it's plasticky, and while it's true that it is made of plastic, it's robust enough for my use, and I don't feel like it's going to break any time soon. I gave it 4 stars for durability because of this, but that might be unfair - normal use is not going to damage it.Best feature of this clamp compared to others is that there are two positions to mount it on your tripod, so you can easily switch between vertical and horizontal for your phone. There's also a cold-shoe on the top of the mount when it's in the horizontal position, useful for holding a mic or a light.Being able to lock the clamp in place is a nice feature, but I don't find myself using it often - the spring force is more than enough.Overall a totally decent item, which I'd recommend.

Reliable Brand, but Smartphone Clamp Has Durability ConcernsManfrotto is known for its quality products, and overall, I find their Universal Smartphone Clamp to be a solid accessory. The clamp has a great feature that allows you to securely lock your phone in place, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my device won’t slip out, even during more active shooting sessions. It feels sturdy when in use and provides a secure hold, making it a dependable choice for photography and videography.However, there are some concerns about the clamp’s durability. The design could be improved, as I’ve noticed that the clamp itself seems a bit fragile, and I worry that with regular use, it could easily break or snap off, especially if handled roughly. While it hasn’t happened to me yet, I can see this being a potential flaw for others who use it frequently or for those who need something that can withstand heavier usage.Overall, it’s a good product from a trusted brand, but the durability of the clamp could use some improvement to match the reliability Manfrotto is known for.

Best phone clamp on the market IMO. Great design that works well.

I got fed up with using the little cheap smartphone clamp included with an octopus tripod I got a while back. I went ahead and got this, and no surprise, it's a quality product. It is robust feeling and grips your phone solidly with a soft rubber material that won't scratch it. There's also a locking mechanism that holds it in place and prevents accidental slips. My only complaint is that it doesn't work with my main K&M Concept tripod; the tripod mount isn't deep enough so it doesn't screw in all the way and ends up dangling around about a centimeter off the release plate. It works with another tripod I have. If you've had any issues like this in the past with anything else be aware.

Since upgrading to the 12 Pro Max, I've found that the photo and video capabilities are so good that I no longer use my SLR or video camera. By adding this little clamp, I can now use the phone as a camera or a video camera comfortably and securely. The clamp mounts quickly and easily on my phone, even when it is in its medium-thickness case (a Quad Lock sports case). The clamp has a little snap-down lock that ensures that the phone won't slip out. With this mount attached, I can use the Manfrotto Pixi Mini tripod, a monopod, or a traditional tripod easily. I tried two other tripod mounts before discovering this one from Manfrotto, and this is the only one that I trust. Though the clamp is sturdy and well-made, I'll probably buy a "just in case" spare so that I'll be covered if Manfrotto should stop selling these.
