Short form: If you are looking for a nice phone mount for using your phone camera as a camera, this works well, is easy to use, and the price is very reasonable. It has a lot of good features and is made so whether you are planning to put your phone on a tripod or gimbal this should hold it securely.Longer:I've owned a number of SmallRig products over the years and I have never been disappointed. When I'm buying photo and video gear, I always check to see what SmallRig offers first because I know what they make will be useful and high quality. This phone holder is no exception. Good materials, good craftsmanship.It fits every arca swiss base I've tested, it holds the phone securely with spring tension only - no manual locks or tension adjustments. The phone holder has padding on the jaws so it is less likely to slip or damage the phone. There are 1/4-20 holes in sensible locations, a cold shoe on one side of the phone holder.The mount allows the phone to be oriented vertically or horizontally and includes detents to help the phone snap into the correct orientation. The hinges have enough friction that it doesn't seem to sag due to gravity in normal use, without having so much friction that it's impossible to adjust. It's also sized correctly to clip into a gimbal designed for a mirrorless camera, giving you extra versatility. I've tried it with a couple of gimbals and it worked for both with a bit of adjustment. I don't have a DJI RS Mini gimbal so I can't verify that specifically.The holder balances well enough that you can use it as a desktop phone holder as well, but the grip is a bit excessive for that application so you probably won't actually use it that way for long.

Works but has to be mounted direct to the RS4 mini, not the slide plate. and also has to be tilted upside down.

I really like my RS4 Mini but the proprietary plate it came with was not good and I hated having to swap my Falcam QR plate to the DJI plate just to use it. This SmallRig plate fits both the RS4 Mini and I was able to use it with my Falcam tripod-mount receiver plate so I don't have to swap the plates anymore and I can use my phone with them both now. Build quality is excellent, it's very well machined and feels sturdy and the phone clamp has padding in the right places and is, in general, very easy to use. It's priced very reasonably as well and really makes you wonder why DJI chose to use proprietary plate designs.

This SMALLRIG metal phone mount with baseplate for Arca-Swiss (Also has 1/4" thread on bottom) is a nice solid spring loaded phone mount. It will easily hold a phone that has a fat or bulky case. This mount is unique by having the Arca-Swiss baseplate which can attach directly to your tripod or gimbal providing it is Arca-Swiss compatible. It can also attach to any 1/4" thread as well. It is highly adjustable, looks good, and has a cold shoe. There are also 4 threaded 1/4" holes on the back, not sure what I would attach to them but they are there if you need them. For the price there is no reason not to add this to your gear.

This review is for the SmallRig Arca-Standard Phone Support (ID: 5338). While the product is designed to work with the DJI RS3 and RS4 Mini gimbals and Arca-compatible tripods, it also works with most tripods with a 1/4" mounting screw. A neat trick is that the stand is well-balanced so that it can moonlight as a desktop stand in a pinch without any tripod at all. There are also a few 1/4" holes milled into the frame, which might be useful for mounting an external SSD since iPhones can now record in ProRES RAW directly to USB-C storage. The price, at the time of review, was $26.99, placing it in the middle of the pack when compared to similar accessories. I have a few other metal phone tripod holders that are only capable of rotation, so the SmallRig's ability to tilt and rotate is much appreciated. One feature I miss is that my existing stand has knobs, allowing me to lock the clamp and rotation into a fixed position. A minor nitpick is that since the clamp width can't be locked, it would likely be better for the cold shoe mount to be positioned on the fixed side of the mechanism for maximum stability. Alternatively, they could have milled a cold shoe on both sides of the clamp, giving users a choice. Overall, I think this product is versatile and well-made.

Nice and sturdy build quality. Holds my phone with a tight grip. Fits on my RS4 Mini gimbal with no problems. I also like how the color of this mount matches my RS4 Mini. I'm loving how it turns from horizontal to vertical. I wish this were a magnetic mount however, for what it is, I can mount this anywhere I'm using an Arca-Swiss mount. Having a built-in cold shoe is also a plus.

It's simple and high quality like all of Smallrigs products, but I'm surprised there's no adjustment on the tightness for the pivot points. If the mount is going to experience any kind of motion, it's going to wear down over time and you'll have no way to keep it pointed where you want it to be.
