Manfrotto Universal Smartphone Clamp, Pro Version (MCPIXI), Clamp for Mini Camera Tripod, for Table Camera Tripod,Black

I recently picked up the Manfrotto MCPIXI Universal Smartphone Clamp, Pro Version, and I’m extremely impressed with its quality and functionality! The clamp is sturdy, well-designed, and provides a secure grip on my smartphone, ensuring it stays in place even during more dynamic shots. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Manfrotto, and the material feels premium yet lightweight, making it easy to carry around in my bag. The Pro version offers an extra level of versatility with its adjustable features, allowing me to securely attach various smartphones, even with larger cases. I also love how it pairs perfectly with my tripod, making it a great option for mobile photography or videography. Whether I’m shooting videos, taking photos, or streaming, this clamp offers excellent support and stability. If you’re serious about mobile content creation, the Manfrotto MCPIXI Universal Smartphone Clamp is a must-have accessory. Highly recommend!

I am a videographer and have owned this mount for a few years. It is still working great and shows no sign of wear and tear. I do look after my gear and treat it with respect. It may be possible to force the locking lever or drop the mount with equipment mounted on/in it and break it, but I have had no issues and found it to be secure and sturdy. It fits all the phones I have owned, so it can cope with a good selection of sizes. It also doubles up as a very good adapter for mounting extra equipment on the tripod, due to the additional threaded screw mounts, or as a horse shoe to standard threaded mount adapter. This lets you easily mount mics and lights to cover changing conditions and requirements. It’s just a really useful, well made bit of kit that everyone should have in their camera bag. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and this mount it worth the money.

Pros: The unit is compact, solid and seemingly well-made (time will tell). The jaws are lined with deep, soft 'grippy' rubber inserts which mould to grip a phone edges securely. The moving arm that extends from the fixed arm has small serrations, which the locking 'clip' engages when locked down - so the jaws are fixed in place ensuring they can't widen, even a tiny bit, until the lock is released. Cons: 1) The jaws are very strongly held together with a heavy-duty spring. I'm not weak, but it takes both my hands to open the jaws up to 9cm (3.5"). This is a bit of pain and certainly not a quick job. The upside is that the jaws to grab the phone, but I'd prefer a less string spring, especially as the jaws can be locked anyway. 2) The locking 'clip' when 'snapped' down has a small 'tag' that catches a 'notch'. Once locked in place, pulling the clip back up to unlock needs a fair amount of force, and you can only really use your finger nail (unless you use something like a coin, etc.). I guess this is good in one way as it means it can't pop open if caught, but to me it seems too stiff to un-lock. Perhaps, over time the 'tag' and 'notch' will wear slightly and it'll become easier to unlock. Overall, if you're not adding/removing your phone regularly then this would be perfect. For me however, it's 4 stars as I'll be using my phone for other uses intermingled with tripod photography potentially many times an hour (i.e. hiking, using maps, and other maps). It's just that little too bulky to keep attached to your phone and at the same time put in and take out of a pocket regularly.

Everything about this little Manfrotto from the adjustable clamp to the locking mechanism is rock solid in design and product quality. So good I purchased a second for my wife's selfie stick using the Samsung s25 ultra (not a small phone) and accomodates it perfectly. Nothing fiddly about this piece of kit, buy it with confidence.

Great little item when used in conjunction with other gizmos like in the photo. This allowed me to do some long exposure snaps on my phone over water while attached to harbourside railings at night. I have the mini tripod too so also great for blog videos or selfies on time delay etc. The bracket expands to fit then has a snap lock to keep it tightly gripped. Usual Manfrotto belt and braces quality but plastic and lightweight.

Manfrotto quality.. small but does the job.

I didn't realise how strong this is. It could be almost too strong in that it's a hell of a job to stretch the thing over the edges of your phone. As for locking it, of course you should but you'll understand if you purchase when I say if you forget to don't worry your phone isn't going anywhere. The spring is something else. Looks wise it blends in with my phone, S23 Ultra. There is a gap between its body and your phone screen which is good as you know it's not going to rub on it. This is ideal for my use as I plan to attach it to my PGY Stick and use for vlogging when walking outside. If I had one criticism is that the threaded parts that you would screw your selfie stick attachment in are not very deep at all. I don't understand why it's not deeper? My first attachment could not tighten up as the thread on that was longer. Luckily I had another which fits perfectly. Check the pics out.

Quality is pretty good, but not enough to hold vertically

Este soporte es justo lo que necesitaba para hacer fotos y videos con el móvil de forma estable y sin miedo a que se caiga. Es muy compacto y ligero, perfecto para llevar de viaje o usar fuera de casa. Algo que me gusta mucho es que se adapta a casi cualquier tamaño de smartphone, con unas mordazas ajustables que agarran firme sin rayar el teléfono. La cabeza a bola permite inclinarlo fácil para encontrar el ángulo ideal, y se queda fijo sin moverse. Para quienes buscan un soporte resistente y fácil de usar, es una gran opción! es que no recomiendo otro que no sea este!!

Far too small for the big phones. This is made for something like a iphone4. Don't bother with it if you have a large phone.

Vollplastik und die Bezeichnung "Pro" im Produktnahmen? Normalerweise geht das für mich so überhaupt nicht zusammen, aber im Falle dieser Smartphone-Klemme von Manfrotto ist das kein Widerspruch! Denn trotz des Kunststoffs wirkt die Klemme sehr robust und fasst sich gut an. Die Feder im Inneren ist wirklich stark und gleichzeitig ist das Innere der Halteklammern gummiert, so dass dem Smartphone nichts passieren kann. Die Halterung ist auch breit genug, so dass auch Smartphones mit Schutzhülle gut gehalten werden können. Man braucht übrigens nicht mal unbedingt den Verschluss zu zu machen, denn die Klemme hält das Smartphone auch unverschlossen verlässlich fest. Ein Verriegeln empfiehlt sich aber natürlich immer und steigert die Sicherheit. Neben zwei 1/4 Zoll-Gewinden aus Metall, die solide in den Kunststoff eingebettet sind, besitzt die Klemme auch noch einen Blitzschuh-Adapter für Zubehör. Ich habe die Klemme auf drei verschiedenen Ministativen ausprobiert: Auf dem 709B Digi Stativ von Manfrotto hält sie bombenfest, ebenso auf einem Minitstativ von smallrig. Wie schon von einem anderen Rezensenten beklagt hält die Klemme nicht so überzeugend auf einem Manfrotto Pixi Evo. Hier muss man das Feststellrad am Stativ sehr fest anziehen und selbst dann gelingt es noch, die Klemme auf dem Stativ zu verdrehen. Das liegt vermutlich daran, dass die Klemme nicht besonders viel Fläche um das 1/-4 Zoll-Gewinde hat, die mit dem Pixi Evo Kontakt aufnehmen kann - und so ist es möglich, die Klemme auf dem Stativ um seine Längsachse zu verdrehen. In der Regel sollte das aber kein Problem sein, denn das Smartphon bzw die Klemme ist trotzdem noch ausreichend fest auf besagtes Stativ zu bekommen. Dennoch ist die Pro Klemme keine ideale Kombination mit dem Pixi Evo! Das ist ziemlich blöd, weil genau diese Kombi hier bei Amazon auch so angeboten wird. Mein Tipp: Lieber ein anderes Mini-Stativ für die Pro-Klemme nehmen, wie zB 709B Digi oder ein Alu-Tripod von Smallrig. Fazit: Mit dem richtigen Stativ ist diese Klemme absolut super und mit 15 Euro in meinen Augen auch nicht mal besonders teuer! Ich bin sehr angetan von diesem Stück "Profi-Plastik" ;-)

Not sure about the negative views from others.... but I am super happy with the holder. Light, quality looking, holds the phone firmly but without damaging pressure due to the rubber inserts. Also like that you can lock the grip in place and although you can't swivel, you screw it in horizontally or vertically. All round just a nice little good looking product.
