SMALLRIG Magnetic Metal Phone Mount with Cold Shoe Mount - 5156

Picked this up to mount my phone on top of my camera for behind-the-scenes shots and it works exactly as advertised. The magnet is strong — locks my iPhone in place with a solid snap, no wobble even when I’m moving around. MagSafe alignment is perfect. Build quality is what you’d expect from SmallRig. All metal, feels heavy-duty, no plastic anywhere. The cold shoe mount slides into my camera’s hot shoe cleanly and tightens down with no play. Also has a 1/4-20 thread on the bottom so I can stick it on a tripod or cage too. Setup took literally 10 seconds. No tools, no fuss. Phone goes on and off in a second which is great when I need to switch between filming and texting. Only thing to note — if your phone doesn’t have MagSafe or a MagSafe case, this won’t work. I’d recommend grabbing a magnetic ring sticker if you’re on Android. For the price, it’s a no-brainer for anyone doing dual-camera content or BTS work

This SmallRig magnetic phone mount works extremely well and feels very high quality. The metal construction is solid and durable, which is exactly what you want when mounting a phone to camera gear or rigs. The magnet is strong and holds the phone securely without any wobble. I use it with my camera setup and it makes it very easy to attach my phone for monitoring or quick shots. The cold shoe connection is also very stable and locks in tightly. Setup takes only a few seconds and everything stays firmly in place while filming. Overall this is a very well built accessory that works perfectly for creators who want a reliable way to mount their phone to a camera or rig. I highly recommend it.

Material high quality, durable. Perfect for on the go photography. Functional, and reliable hold of your mag case. Easy to use.

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!

Overall, I’m pretty happy with this SmallRig magnetic phone mount, especially for camera rig setups and mobile content creation. The build quality is honestly excellent — very solid, premium-feeling metal construction, smooth adjustment points, and exactly the kind of quality I’ve come to expect from SmallRig products. It definitely feels durable and professional right out of the box. What I liked most was how versatile it is. The cold shoe mount and rotating adjustment system make it really convenient for mounting a phone to a camera rig, tripod, stabilizer, or even for simple desktop setups. Being able to quickly switch between portrait and landscape orientation is a nice touch, and the dual rotating hinges make positioning surprisingly flexible. The overall design is compact without feeling flimsy, and it integrates nicely into existing camera gear setups without adding too much bulk. I also appreciated the extra threaded mounting points since they give you more options for accessories and rig customization. That said, the main reason I’m knocking the rating down slightly is the magnetic strength. It’s not terrible by any means, and for normal use it holds fine, but compared to some other MagSafe-style mounts I’ve used, this one definitely feels a little weaker than expected. If you’re stationary or using it carefully indoors, it’s perfectly usable. But for more active shooting situations, moving rigs, quick repositioning, or anything involving bumps/vibration, I found myself wishing the magnet had a bit more holding power for extra confidence. Especially with heavier phones or thicker cases, the grip doesn’t feel quite as locked-in as some competing mounts. A few pros and cons from my experience: Pros: Excellent metal construction Compact and professional-looking Very adjustable and flexible Great for camera rigs and monitoring setups Easy to mount and reposition Typical high SmallRig quality overall Cons: Magnet could definitely be stronger Less confidence-inspiring with heavier phones Not ideal for rough movement or aggressive repositioning Even with that complaint, I still think it’s a good product overall because the design and build quality are genuinely excellent. If SmallRig improves the magnetic strength in a future revision, this would easily be a perfect 5-star accessory. For now, I’d give it a solid 4 stars. Very useful piece of gear — just not quite as secure magnetically as I hoped.

Super comfortable and super convenient, only wished it was a bit longer and was able to swivel since I have the pro max version having it vertical is a bit uncomfortable and you can’t pivot it to the side to have more space. But it is stable, solid and easy to use, also the magnet is strong. On the image you can’t see much but on the right side there’s a small part that showed how it looks on the camera.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought this to use with my DJI RS4 Pro. The phone mount that came with the Combo package was not big enough to hold my S24 Ultra in a case. I have the i-Blason Armorbo case. I previously bought the SmallRig Phone Support for DJI Stabilizers, Adjustment Phone Mount Adapter with 1/4"-20 Threaded Hole, Cold Shoe for DJI RS 4 Mini/RS 4 Pro/RS 3 /RS 3 Pro/RS 3 Mini/RS 2 / RS C2 / R S/R SC - 4301 but it also wasn't big enough to hold my phone. The build quality is very sturdy and the price is great for what you get. Magnet strength: This mount works really well. I have no issue with mounting my phone onto there and the magnet holds really good. The only thing is that you have to be weary about storage and making sure it doesn't get close to your SD cards or Hard drive! Value for money: The price is excellent for the quality that you get.

This is perfect for iPhones when using them as a monitor on my Sony cameras. I have SmallRig cages as well. Fit is perfect and these are sturdy and adjustable but they do not swivel left and right. Just up and down and cant up and down.

Support de très bonne qualité tout en alu. Aimant puissant. Je l'utilise sur un trépied photo grâce à la vis standard, avec mon telephone au dos aimanté.

semplice, ma efficace. Lo uso su cavalletti con vite filettata per sostenere l'iphone. Il magnete tiene molto bene il peso e l'attacco è sia a vite filettata, sia cold shoe, quindi molto versatile. Oggetto di ottima costruzione e materiali.

I think this is one of the best phone mounts for iPhone, the magnet is super strong and hold the phone tight, never felt like it was going to fall off or anything. The mounting options for tripods or hotshoe of cameras is endless. Built quality is world class, worth the money

La calidad de construcción es indiscutible. Muy buena como nos tiene acostumbrados la marca. El imán del Magsafe es mas que suficiente, ¿que me hubiera gustado un poco más fuerte? Si, pero cumple bien las expectativas. El enganche en zapata fría es perfecta. Recomiendo el producto sobretodo si usas tu iPhone como monitor.
