Bestshoot Bestshoot Phone Tripod Mount Adapter & Smartphone Remote Controller, Smartphone Holder Clip for iPhone Samsung and All Cell Phones, Rotates Vertical Horizontal Adjustable Clamp Selfie Stick

I've tried a lot of phone tripod mounts, and the Rotus mount is definitely the best so far. The standout feature is the adjustable thumb screw clamp, which is much better than the spring clamps on other models that can be tricky to use and don't always hold your phone securely. With this mount, my phone stays firmly in place, thanks to the soft, angled pads that grip it without requiring me to overtighten and risk damaging my case. The build feels really solid overall. Another great addition is the Bluetooth remote shutter, which adds a lot of value to the package. It paired instantly with my Android phone—no extra drivers or complicated setup needed. The remote makes it so much easier for me to step back and take perfectly framed photos. I also appreciate how easy it is to adjust the angle; I was able to get everything just right with minimal effort. The whole design is straightforward and practical. Given the price, the combination of the secure clamp, high adjustability, and included remote make this mount an outstanding deal. It's definitely the one I'll be recommending in the future.

It’s plastic; what are expecting for eight bucks? But the threaded inserts are brass, and that’s what matters. I prefer this sort of screw-adjustable phone holder to the spring-loaded ones which are always too weak or too strong. The screw-adjusted type are especially important if you have your phone in a leather or other “delicate” case; the spring-loaded type can damage your case. This holder is plenty big for most phones even in bulky cases. This device consists of two parts, the actual phone holder and then this sort of pivot thing which is, I suppose, necessary to hold your phone in portrait orientation or at some artistic angle. But for most use in landscape mode (especially for teleconferencing) you don’t actually need that. It detaches easily and the clamp has a 1/4x20 socket of its own doe landscape orientation. This cuts down the bulk and the weight. I specifically wanted this thing to use with a small flimsy tripod I have for teleconferencing on-the-go. Using a tripod frees up your hands, saves a lot of fatigue, and gives a more-professional image, so it’s good to carry a small tripod and one of these phone holders when on-the-road. The shutter remote is a nice bonus. It paired with my iPhone easily and works fine. It’s nice when taking pictures on a tripod as you can active the shutter without touching the phone and introducing vibrations. In conclusion, for eight bucks I think this is a dandy tripod adapter for a phone.

The mount: So, when I first purchased this tripod phone mount I was initially expecting the typical chinesium pos. But it is surprising well made. The plastic seems sturdy and the bolt for the two halves of the clamp is metal. The clamp has a slight curve on the inside so your device is securely held in place. It does open to a max of 4 inches, (any more and the bolt will fall out) I have the samsung S7 with otterbox defender case and it fit with no issue. It will compress the screen protector causing it to bow out, but I believe that's just because of the case I have. And it really wasnt an issue. The remote: the remote is exactly what I expected it to be. Cheap but does what I need it to. The batter came installed which worried me but it was still powered. It connected to bluetooth through a small switch on the side. The IOS and Android buttons do the same thing no matter the device. And in order to get it to play and stop video on the S7 I had to go into the settings and change what the volume buttons do. So it's just connected to volume. But other than that, it takes the picture. And that's what I needed.

Brilliant device! Despite no instructions, you just turn ON the bluetooth clicker, then check your iPhone bluetooth setting and there the REMOTE is, click to pair it, and you're off and shooting pics! Thanks for making this EASY!!! Good price, GREAT device! <3

Works as it should and appears durable.
