FAQs

What is the maximum width of a smartphone this holder can accommodate?

The holder is designed to fit most smartphones. While exact maximum width isn't specified, its design accommodates typical smartphone dimensions, especially when accounting for its 108.5mm width measurement and the clamp's spring-loaded nature. It should fit most phones even with a case.

Can I attach this holder directly to a tripod?

Yes, the holder features a 1/4"-20 threaded hole at the bottom, allowing you to screw it directly onto any standard tripod, monopod, or other camera support with a matching thread.

How much weight can the holder support?

The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. However, given its metal construction and intended use with smartphones, it is designed to reliably hold typical smartphone weights.

Does the holder come with any screws or adapters?

The holder includes its integrated cold shoe mount and 1/4"-20 threaded hole. No additional screws or adapters are listed as included, as it is designed to interface with standard mounts.

Is the rotation and tilt adjustable or fixed?

The holder features both 180° tilt and 360° rotation, which are adjustable and lockable to hold your desired position securely.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The SmallRig 3559 holder comes with a 2-year warranty period.

Can I mount both a microphone and an LED light at the same time?

Yes, the holder features double cold shoe mounts on the sides, allowing you to mount both a microphone and an LED light simultaneously, which is ideal for vlogging and live streaming.

Troubleshooting

Smartphone feels loose in the clamp.

Ensure the clamp is fully opened before inserting the phone and that it has sprung back completely to grip the device. Check that the phone's dimensions are within the holder's capacity.

Holder won't attach securely to camera.

Verify that you are using the correct mounting point (cold shoe or 1/4"-20 thread). If using the cold shoe, ensure it is fully slid into place and tightened if your camera has a locking screw.

Difficulty rotating or tilting the holder.

Ensure no cables or accessories are obstructing the movement. Check that the locking mechanisms for tilt and rotation are slightly loosened if they feel too tight; avoid forcing them.

Accessories (mic, light) don't fit the cold shoe.

Confirm the accessories use standard cold shoe mounts. The holder's cold shoes are designed for standard accessories; ensure nothing is blocking the shoe slot on the accessory itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Mounting: Secure the holder to your desired equipment. Use the 1/4"-20 threaded hole to screw it onto tripods, monopods, or other gear with a compatible screw. Alternatively, slide the cold shoe mount onto any camera's hot shoe (ensure the locking pin is disengaged if present and not needed, or utilized for extra security on compatible cameras).
  2. Smartphone Installation: Gently pull open the spring-loaded clamp and place your smartphone inside. Release the clamp to secure the phone. Ensure it is held firmly but without excessive pressure.
  3. Accessory Attachment: Mount microphones, LED lights, or other cold shoe accessories onto the available cold shoe slots on the holder.

  • Mounting Points: Compatible with standard camera hot shoes and all equipment featuring a 1/4"-20 female thread.

Care:

  • Clean the metal body with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check the tightness of the tilt and rotation mechanisms. Do not overtighten.
  • Ensure the anti-slip silicon pads are free of debris to maintain grip.
