Shoulderpod S1 - Professional smartphone rig, tripod mount and filmmaker grip for shooting photo and video with any iPhone or Android phone

Well made, easy to use, sturdy. Holds the phone very well and the handle is just enough without being too big, although you can get an extension. Recommended

Works well. Straightforward to use. Only be aware that if it is too tight the top grip starts to bend slightly. Seems sturdily built but for me I’d prefer a slightly stronger version - maybe made of aluminium. Cannot fault it yet as I use it very little and so far it has worked well with my iOhone 6s Plus. Nice and lightweight.

Absolutely first rate piece of equipment that I cannot rate highly enough. A (demanding, not to say pernickety!) DSLR Photographer for many years, this tool makes for simplicity itself - transforming iPhone photography almost unimaginably. I have mine permanently attached to a Manfrotto tripod plate - so always ready for tripod use, but still more usefully, this allows for horizontal standing of the phone almost anywhere, easily. Coupled with an inexpensive Bluetooth shutter button and iOS ProCamera (which brilliantly allows the range of aspect ratio choices) I'm making stunning images. Use one of these once and you'll be hooked. Seriously great value for my money. Highly recommended.

It’s okay. The clamp itself feels very plastic and rather loose, the tolerances on the two halves are big and it tends to flap about as you turn the also very cheap feeling finger grip at the top. Lacks a thread on the side for portrait orientation and just feels rather light and un-sturdy. The best made part of it is the weight at the bottom which is actually made from something like brass and has a bit of heft to it. The strap is rather uncomfortable nylon or something similar and you’ll want to replace it with cloth or leather if you intend to use this much. I think it’ll hold your phone well enough, just don’t for a minute think that it’s a high quality bit of equipment.

I'm using this grip with my iPhone 6 Plus and the DXO One camera. It works like an absolute dream! Once you've clamped it at the centre of gravity, it completely transforms the handling of the iPhone 6 Plus and the remarkable DXO One into a beautiful, ergonomic camera. There is nothing I don't like about the S1 grip. It's well made, has a great weight to add a bit of extra stability; and the wrist strap gives peace of mind and a good grip. If attached at the centre of gravity, it also makes it very easy to simply and securely put the iPhone 6 Plus DXO One combination down - without faffing about - because it stands securely on the screw-side with the handle pointing up - ready to be picked up again quickly and securely. This is a great product which for me has truly sealed the iPhone 6 Plus DXO One combination.

So good, I've now got two of these - this is very useful product, especially when you're worried about you smartphone slipping out your hands when taking pictures or taking video shots.... I used my one set to the middle of the phone when taking videos.... the phone I'm using most is the iPhone 7 Plus with a stereo mic going into the lightning port.... this product allows me to keep my video footage very steady, and my fingers away from the stereo mic....and with nothing concerns about all of this slipping out of my hands....!!!! I also can use a tripod quick release plate screwed into the base of the handle.....so, I can go from hand held to panning shots in the tripod very quickly and easily.....and have the same quick release on my wheeled dolly and slider....... so, yes, a very versatile, well built and solid product and when used just for street stuff it's perfect....I can be ready to shoot in less then a minute, with this product in my pocket. A huge thumbs up.

This is a great gadget for attaching my iPhone to a tripod, and helps considerably at steadying the phone for video. But the screw on handle is too short. I reckon it needs to be twice as long as it is, and I've got small hands! I use a table top tripod folded up instead/as well as which works really well. Overall a great product which I would recomend, jut be aware you may need an extension.

This feels like a really solidly made item. It really makes quite a difference when shooting video. It adds stability, even on its own, and if you screw a small tripod or monopod to the bottom it acts almost like a steady cam. The fit is really good on an iPhone 8+, I don't feel that it is going to fall out. I particularly like the wrist strap which makes it feel really secure in my hand. Very easy to put in a pocket or loop the strap to a belt. I liked it so much I told my friend to get one for her iPhone X!

Ich benutze den Shoulderpod S1 für mein iPhone 5S hauptsächlich um Videos zu drehen. Mich hat vorher immer genervt, dass das horizontale Filmen sehr umständlich war, da man das iPhone in dieser Position einfach nicht so gut greifen konnte und man das Gefühl hatte, dass es einem jede Sekunde aus der Hand fallen könnte. Mit dem S1 wollte ich diesem Problem vorbeugen. Und glücklicherweise habe ich die richtige Wahl getroffen, auch dank der guten Rezensionen hier, auf YouTube und auch auf Amazon.com. Die Halterung besteht aus Plastik und Aluminium. Letzteres verursacht doch ein für diese Größe beachtliches Gewicht, was aber letztendlich beim Filmen überhaupt nicht stört. Trotzdem war ich vom Gewicht ein wenig überrascht als ich die Halterung ausgepackt habe, vor allem positiv, da ein ordentliches Gewicht einem das Gefühl von robuster Qualität gibt. Laut dem Hersteller ist die Handgelenkschlaufe aus Echtleder, ebenfalls ein Pluspunkt zur Verarbeitung. Das Einsetzen des iPhones ist wirklich einfach und schnell gemacht. Man sollte ein wenig aufpassen, dass man nicht zu viel Druck auf die Klemme ausübt, da sonst das Gerät beschädigt werden kann (s. dazu auch die Nutzungsempfehlungen des Herstellers, die der Lieferung beiliegen). Die Klemme ist höhenverstellbar, sodass so gut wie jedes Smartphone eingebaut werden kann. Die Gummimulden halten das Gerät sicher an Ort und Stelle ohne es irgendwie zu zerkratzen. Mit einer Schraube auf der Oberseite der Halterung befestigt man sein Gerät und dann kann es auch schon losgehen mit dem Filmen/Fotos machen. Durch den Handgriff und der Handgelenkschlaufe liegt die Halterung mit dem eingebauten Smartphone wirklich gut in der Hand und man hat so viel mehr Bewegungs- und Handlungsfreiraum. Man muss sich nun keine Sorgen mehr machen, dass einem das Telefon aus der Hand fallen könnte. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist dass durch den festeren Griff die Bilder und Videos allgemein viel ruhiger, stabiler und ruckelfreier werden. Man hat automatisch mehr Kontrolle, jetzt wo man sich nicht mehr ums ordentliche Halten kümmern muss. Fazit: Für Hobby-Filmer wie mich ist diese Halterung eine optimale Anschaffung. Es ist robust verarbeitet und tut genau das, was es soll: das Smartphone sicher an Ort und Stelle halten, sodass man sich als Filmer aufs Wesentliche konzentrieren kann.

Ce n'est pas le seul grip du marché et certainement pas le moins cher, pourtant, avoir essayé deux précédents grips, c'est clairement celui que je préfère. La finition des accessoires est exemplaire (jusqu'à la boîte, vraiment soignée) ; tout inspire confiance, solidité et qualité. Le grip peut être utilisé aussi bien sur des barres à selfie que sur des trépieds et n'abîme pas le smartphone. Le réglage se fait en dévissant une molette, agréable au toucher et assez précise. La petite poignée est très utile pour faire des plans à la main, sans trop s'encombrer, tout en offrant une nette amélioration en terme de stabilité (le gros problème des smartphones en règle générale). Vraiment très satisfait par ce produit, utilisé par bon nombre de journalistes et amateurs de vidéo sur smartphone, et que je recommande sans hésitation à mon tour.

This is a must have accessory for those who shoot video or professionally using an iPhone or other smartphone. It's an obvious accessory for use on a tripod or suction cup mount, that becomes more obvious when you start using it handheld. It is made of a lightweight, strong plastic body, that doesn't expose internal parts. The knob to adjust the mount is easily turned with one hand, and feels well made as well. The weighted handle and leather wrist strap are great additions to this device. I never leave home without mine. When used with a light weight phone, it adds enough stability and grip to take you to the next level. Pros • Lightweight, simple, compact design • Weighted for more stability • Threads into a standard camera plate • Matte black to cut down on glare • Quality made • Rubber pads are designed to hold a variety of devices • Simple rounded design cuts down on wind noise for fast moving action shots Cons (really stretching for one here) • Doesn't seem to be a gasket inside the tube to keep out dust or dirt Spend the extra $10 and get the mount that won't fail on you in the field.

Lovely packaging, new product and delivery on time. Thanks!

Excellent! Good grip and works well with iPhone 5 and 6. Finally a better grip for filming and the right tool to take good photo even selfie with a larger angle!
