This well-built and well-designed mount will accommodate anything from a phone to a (modest) tablet (the cap is 9.7 inches, which unfortunately rules out most iPads). It extends in two ways: the metal rods are spring-loaded and stretch/compress for a good grip. There are also a pair of plastic columns equipped with two button triggers (see picture) that add a few more inches of width if needed. The surface is mostly a nice, smooth, grippy rubberized coating. There are 1/4 inch screw mounts on one side and back, and a cold shoe mount on the other. Very nice quality device from reliable K&F Concept.

This is a very versatile phone and tablet mount for a tripod. Without using the extension, it will accommodate any typical cell phone. There are two buttons on the side that open wide enough to accommodate up to an iPad or most tablets. There are 2 1/4" threaded holes, one on the back and the other on the side, with a cutout for cables. On the other side, there is a cold shoe where you can mount lights or other accessories. This holder seems sturdy and stable and I didn't notice any wobble when using it.

This is a pretty cool phone/tablet mount. It's a spring for the tension part of holding your device, but there are also buttons that allow you to extend the mount further. Between the extension and the springy part, the phone can be held from the short side, or it can be stretched out to hold a larger tablet from the short side. Could probably accommodate a smaller tablet from the long side. My only issue with the tripod mounts for phone/tablets (including this one) is that they don't accommodate thicker cases. I have this problem a lot and usually have to take my case off. I can hold it a little, but it seems to put more strain on the mount than I think is good. I haven't used it yet, but I love that it has a cold shoe mount for things like lights or microphones. It's a good product at a fair price. I would order it again, -M-

really wanted to like this tripod/mount holder! It has one of the cleverest ways of extending its size that I've ever seen. As a hobbyist, I was pretty impressed. But other details dampened my enthusiasm pretty quickly. The trick is that it's initially sized for a phone, but if you press the buttons on either side and pull the arms out slightly, they extend a little over an inch on each side, making it just big enough for a tablet if you clip it together on the short sides. The springs are very strong, which is great. I was hoping to get some use out of this beyond the regular phone/tablet because I often use them to store music devices, small synths, pedals, controllers, etc. But even though the spring would hold it, I'm afraid the lip or edge where a device is gripped is positioned in a way that doesn't even fit how I'd expect. I recently put a case on my phone that has one of those ringers inside that act as a kickstand or help you hold the phone. And it sticks out far enough on the back that it prevents that mount from getting around the edges of my phone. Too bad because I otherwise really like it. Maybe I can find a way to put something over the edges that will still be secured. Maybe they'll update the version to have a wider gripping surface. If so, I hope I notice.

I buy it for my small studio ans also wild-life phoyography and travel.It is satisfying light and handy tripod that can be placed even in small bakcpack's like 25 or 40ltr backpacks .In completely open legs it reaches 180cm.Features:Ball head 1 /4 inch mount make it easy to adjust cameraCome with a bag and shoulder strapTips: In windy weather you can stabilize the tripod by putting your backpack on the hooker on the bottom of central mount.Price-wise it is in medium range and considering tripod height that suits my hight it worths it

Amazing Tripod, replaced this from a 30 dollar tripod that I got from Best Buy. Most definitely recommend this.

I love this tripod! Best one I own.

ABSOLUTE BUY RECOMMENDATION!!!!!
