Product Information
Full details
The Joby GripTight Smart is a versatile and pocketable phone clamp designed for mobile content creators, photographers, and streamers. Its key benefit is securely holding smartphones in both portrait and landscape orientations, with an added cold shoe mount for accessories. A potential caveat is its reliance on a separate 1/4" mount for stability, meaning it's not a standalone tripod.

Troubleshooting
Phone clamp feels too tight or too loose
Ensure your phone's width is within the 59mm - 103mm range. Adjust the clamping force by carefully expanding or contracting the sides. Check for any obstructions in the clamp mechanism.
Accessory does not fit securely in the cold shoe
Verify that the accessory has a standard cold shoe foot. Some accessories may have slightly different tolerances; ensure the accessory's mounting screw is properly tightened if applicable.
