Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Mounting Clamp 5397 is a versatile rigging solution designed for videographers and content creators who need to securely attach portable SSDs to camera cages or MagSafe-compatible iPhones. Its primary benefit is the combination of a secure, controlled-opening clamping mechanism and dual mounting options, providing a reliable workflow for high-bitrate recording; however, users should note that while it is highly adjustable, it is limited to SSDs within the specified width and thickness dimensions.

FAQs

Does this work with Samsung T7 Shield?

Yes, the Samsung T7 and T7 Shield series fall within the supported dimensions of the clamp.

Can I use this on a non-MagSafe iPhone case?

No, a MagSafe-compatible case or the bare phone is required for the magnetic mounting function to be secure.

Is the cable clamp compatible with all USB-C cables?

The clamp is adjustable, but it is optimized for standard, slim profile USB-C data cables. Extremely thick or custom-molded cables may not fit.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a standard hex key or flathead screwdriver to secure the 1/4"-20 screws to your camera cage.

Does the clamp block the ports on my SSD?

The clamp is designed to hold the body of the SSD while leaving the connection port accessible for your USB-C cable.

Troubleshooting

SSD feels loose in the clamp

Ensure the clamping mechanism is tightened completely; verify that the SSD dimensions are within the 8-17mm thickness range.

MagSafe connection feels weak

Remove any thick or non-MagSafe compatible cases, as these block the magnetic connection between the clamp and the phone.

Cable keeps pulling out of the SSD port

Adjust the integrated USB-C cable clamp to provide a tighter hold on the cable, preventing tension from reaching the port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Secure two-step locking mechanism
Dual compatibility with camera cages and MagSafe iPhones
Effective cable management with integrated strain relief
Protective padding prevents cosmetic damage to drives

Cons

Does not support SSDs thinner than 8mm or wider than 60mm
Requires manual adjustment of the cable clamp for different cables
MagSafe attachment may not hold securely with thick phone cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the clamp for camera cages, align the 1/4"-20 mounting holes with your rig and secure them using the appropriate screws. For mobile use, ensure the back of your iPhone or phone case is MagSafe-compatible.

Compatibility check: Always verify your SSD dimensions fall within the 40-60mm width and 8-17mm thickness range before mounting.

Care instructions: Periodically check the silicone pads for dust accumulation, which can be wiped clean with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the silicone or plastic components over time.
