SMALLRIG Magnetic Metal Phone Mount with Cold Shoe Mount, Adjustable Rotatable Phone Tripod Holder Adapter for for iPhone 17/16/15, Camera Monitoring, Tripods, Stabilizers - 5156

I have owned and reviewed many SMALLRIG camera and phone accessories over the years, and nearly always been impressed with the design and manufacturing standards, and reasonable pricing. I was able to get this magnetic mount at a special offer price of £15.49, but I would have happily paid the current price of £19.90 (at the time of review in late January 2026). I’ve been using this SMALLRIG magnetic phone mount as part of my Nikon Z6III and OM‑5 setups, pairing it with an iPhone 15 Pro for remote monitoring and geotagging. It has quickly become one of those small accessories that make a big difference in day‑to‑day shooting. Build quality is excellent. The metal construction feels solid and durable, and the magnetic attachment is strong enough to inspire confidence without being awkward to detach. Once the phone is on, it stays put, even when adjusting angles. The rotating mechanism is smooth, with enough resistance to hold the phone exactly where you want it. Where this mount really earns its keep is in camera monitoring and geotagging. Using Nikon’s SnapBridge app and OM System’s OI.Share app, I’ve been able to turn my iPhone into a larger, more convenient monitor for both cameras. It’s especially helpful for landscape and cityscape photography, where composition tweaks benefit from a bigger screen. The geotagging integration has also been more reliable and easier to manage with the phone mounted securely and visibly rather than dangling from a pocket. I’ve used plenty of phone clamps and mounts over the years, but this one stands out for its combination of speed to set up and use, stability, and thoughtful design. It’s compact, well‑made, and integrates seamlessly into a hybrid camera–smartphone workflow.

£15 at time of review I've been buying SmallRig gear for about a decade, so have several of their cages, adapters handles etc, I’ve always been impressed with how considered and well designed plus well built their products are. While this is quite simple, the attention to detail means it’s perfect, plus really flexible, as the MagSafe part can be removed and easily attached to a magic arm or cheese plate etc. The additional 1/4” threads on the arm are handy for attaching other bits of gear, making it very versatile… My only gripe is that I find the hinges way too stiff, hopefully they will get a bit easier to move with time, although there’s no way to adjust them Hope my review was helpful

super useful if you have a good mag case

Love it

Works pretty well

The magnetic attachment is surprisingly strong, holding my phone securely even when I have it angled quite a bit. I've used it with a few different tripods and it's been compatible without any issues. The cold shoe mount is a nice addition, allowing for easy attachment of extra accessories like a small microphone if needed. The adjustment features are smooth and easy to use, letting me quickly change the phone's orientation. I appreciate that it's designed for various phones it's not just for one specific model. The build quality feels solid, nothing flimsy. It's not overly bulky either which is a plus.

Very pleased, works very well, no more camera controls getting in the way

Solid mount, magnet is great and strong.

The SMALLRIG Magnetic Metal PhoneMount with Cold Shoe is a fantastic accessory for anyone who shoots video or takes photos with their phone. The build quality is outstanding—solid metal construction that feels durable and premium. The magnets are very strong, securely holding my phone in place even with a case on. The cold shoe mount on top is a great touch, letting me easily attach a microphone or small light for better video setups. It’s also super convenient to adjust and position, and the magnetic system makes mounting and removing the phone quick and effortless. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of functionality and quality. Whether you’re a content creator, vlogger, or just someone who wants a reliable phone mount, this SMALLRIG accessory is absolutely worth it!

Ich habe die SMALLRIG Magnetische Handyhalterung (5156) in den letzten Wochen intensiv mit meinem iPhone genutzt und bin wirklich begeistert! 📱 Top Magnetkraft & stabiler Halt Die magnetische Halterung aus Metall hält mein iPhone selbst bei Action-Blickwinkeln sicher und ohne zu verrutschen. Gerade beim Filmen oder beim Livestreaming merkt man, wie stark und zuverlässig der Magnet ist – da wackelt nichts. 🔄 Vielseitig & flexibel einstellbar Der verstellbare, drehbare Stativadapter macht die Halterung super flexibel. Ob Hoch- oder Querformat, schnelle Winkelanpassungen oder feines Justieren – alles geht kinderleicht und bleibt stabil in der Position. 🎥 Mit Blitzschuh für Zubehör Der integrierte Blitzschuh ist ein tolles Extra! Ich nutze ihn, um kompakte LED-Lichter oder Mikrofone direkt anzubringen – perfekt für bessere Licht- und Tonqualität bei Videos. Besonders praktisch, wenn man Content mit dem iPhone erstellt. 🧲 Kompatibel & vielseitig einsetzbar Ob mit MagSafe-Stativ-Adapter, klassischen Stativen, Monitor-Haltern oder Kamera-Rig – die Halterung lässt sich überall einsetzen. Für Foto- und Video-Setups im Home-Studio oder unterwegs super geeignet. 🔧 Gute Verarbeitung Das Metall fühlt sich hochwertig an und macht einen langlebigen Eindruck. Die Schraubverbindungen sind solide, lassen sich gut greifen und festziehen. Fazit: Eine extrem praktische, stabile und vielseitige Handyhalterung, die besonders für iPhone-Filmer, Content-Creator und alle, die unterwegs mit Zubehör arbeiten, absolut empfehlenswert ist. Der Preis ist mehr als fair für die Qualität und den Funktionsumfang.

Stark magnet och plats för mer extrautrustning

it's well built, sturdy and does it job. I lost my previous iPhone support for my Ulanzi MT-73 tripod and bought as a replacement. Since it was an universal one, it was a bit of a hustle to set it up. The magsafe feels strong and it definitely makes things easier.

Smallrig es conocido por su calidad y este holder para el cold shoe de cámara no es la excepción, se siente la calidad de construcción al solo tocarlo. El imán es muy potente, por lo que el móvil nunca se despegará, yo le he usado con un iPhone 17 Pro Max y no he tenido ningun problema
