What type of accessories can I attach?

Is the phone holder spring-loaded?

Troubleshooting
Phone does not fit securely in the holder.
Ensure your phone's width is within the 5cm-10cm range. Adjust the holder's grip tension if possible, and check for any obstructions.
Adapter is wobbly on the tripod.
Verify that the 3/8" screw thread is properly aligned and tightened onto the tripod mount. Ensure the tripod head itself is stable.
Cold shoe mounts feel loose.
