About this model
I designed this generic smartphone cradle to solve a simple yet common problem: mounting virtually any modern phone directly to standard photography gear. The cradle accommodates devices up to 16.5 cm in length and 1.3 cm in thickness, meaning it easily fits the vast majority of smartphones even with standard protective cases and skins attached. The integrated standard screw mount allows direct attachment to everyday camera tripods, mini rigs, articulating arms, and various utility clips. This opens up endless mounting configurations whether you are framing time-lapses, shooting stable video, or just looking for a hands-free workstation stand.
