Had to return it to Tripod & Monopod Accessories

I read in one of the other reviews that the slider can be difficult to open at first and just chuckle. I did my best. Then my husband tried it and it wouldn't budge! At that point I returned it and bought it for almost half the price which works like a charm! Perhaps they should inspect their product more thoroughly before shipping it.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Requires socket

Amazing for large phones

I use this religiously on my huge iPhone Plus phone - it can handle anything, great on a tripod, very easy to adjust, the tilt feature is great and it's very durable. I've had one that lasted a while but I lost it and was so frustrated because literally nothing compares - this is my SECOND. <3 10/10

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some issues

Totally useless! for tripod and monopod accessories

Twist the handle to lock iPhone in the holder. My pen is completely stuck. No matter what I do, I can't move it. It was so straight out of the box. unusable. This is so frustrating because I really needed to get something on video. I'm so shocked that this company can't give me a working product on the day it's brand new.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • unreliable

No problem and I love it!

This thing has made my videos easier to shoot. I used to have trouble holding my phone or aggressively sliding it into one of those pull-and-pull holders. It SIMPLY unscrews to widen the hole and it's amazing! I don't feel like I have to fight with my holder to keep my phone lol. I just mounted it on a tripod and WaLah works great, durable and easy to use.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • I will add later

The most flexible phone holder ever!

I like it. This is my second one I bought as a replacement. There are cheaper models out there but they don't do the same job and very few of them allow you to set up your phone not only in landscape mode but also in portrait mode with flexible adjustment of various settings. Tripod height in combination with a Joby tripod or most other camera tripods! You can easily connect your phone to a power source or even headphones.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Too blunt

Loose screws, Joby?

So you're making a mount without having to choose between a standard ground screw or this grip size, what's the deal here? Now I not only have to wait for you to give me my money back, but also wait for a better one? How hard is it to just make one with a little copper adapter that you can just unscrew like all other, NORMAL, REASONABLE people do? I would call it beautiful if it didn't make me angry. Don't buy if you don't want to buy their tripod they charge you. A bunch of clowns, I swear.

Pros
  • Manufactured by
Cons
  • Expandable

Practical iPhone holder and ball mount with spirit level.

I had trouble getting this device to work properly at first, but that was partly due to my inexperience. Now that I know how to manipulate the device I've found that it works much better than it originally did, mostly because it was new and the mating surfaces didn't slide over each other easily, but now after a few uses it works actually quite good. Spring. I think there is a design dimension that could be increased which would further improve performance.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Negative experience

Ideal for cell phone photography!

The mounting weight is spot on, the Gorilla Pod doesn't get in the way and you can easily manipulate the corners without worrying about it falling off. The Pro2 is much simpler and the mechanisms are much better (like the rotation why your phone might fall out) but the heavy weight is very out of place. Initially the shutter on the Pro1 phone was very difficult to open but after a few times I got the hang of it and found it very easy to manipulate. The only complaint is that your phone might…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Weak kit

The weight of the mount is spot on, it's not bothered by the Gorilla Pod, and you can easily manipulate the angles without fear of dropping it.
