FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the Elgato Mini Mount?
While not explicitly stated, the weighted base is best suited for devices up to approximately 1kg (2.2 lbs) to ensure optimal stability. Heavier items may cause instability.
Can I attach a microphone to this mount?

What size smartphones does the phone holder support?
The phone holder is designed to accommodate most standard smartphone sizes. Adjust the clamps to fit your specific device securely.
Does the mount come with a phone holder?
Yes, the Elgato Mini Mount includes a custom phone holder designed for livestreams and video calls.
What is the primary material of the mount?
The Elgato Mini Mount is primarily constructed from metal for durability.
Can I mount a DSLR camera on this?
It can support smaller mirrorless cameras or compact DSLRs with lighter lenses. For heavier camera setups, a more robust tripod or stand is recommended.
How do I adjust the angle of my mounted device?
Loosen the ball head adjustment knob, reposition your device to the desired angle, and then tighten the knob to secure it in place.
Troubleshooting
Device is unstable or wobbles
Ensure the weighted base is on a perfectly flat and stable surface. Do not exceed the recommended weight limit for mounted devices. Tighten the ball head adjustment knob firmly.
1/4" thread feels loose
Check if the accessory being attached has a properly seated 1/4" screw. If the mount's thread itself feels loose, contact customer support.
Phone holder won't grip securely
Ensure the phone is correctly positioned within the holder's adjustable clamps and that the clamps are tightened sufficiently. Check that the phone's case does not interfere with the grip.
Ball head won't lock into position
Make sure the adjustment knob is fully tightened. If the issue persists, there may be debris in the ball joint mechanism; gently clean with a dry cloth.
