FAQs
Can I use this with non-MagSafe phones?
Only if you attach a dedicated MagSafe-compatible magnetic ring or adapter to the back of your non-MagSafe device.

What is the maximum weight capacity?
The mount supports devices up to 0.5 kg.
Can I mount a heavy microphone?
Yes, provided the total weight of your accessories does not exceed the structural limits of the mount and the stability of your base support.
Is the cold shoe removable?
The cold shoe is integrated into the base, but the top magnetic plate can be detached for custom configurations.
What material is it made of?
It is constructed from a durable mix of aluminum, silicone, and stainless steel.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic grip feels weak
Ensure the phone back is clean and that you are using a genuine MagSafe-compatible case or the naked phone without a non-magnetic cover.
Rotation shafts become loose
Use a compatible hex tool to gently tighten the screws located on the rotating shafts to restore proper resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your iPhone has a MagSafe-compatible back or a certified MagSafe case. Simply align your phone with the magnetic plate for an instant, secure lock. When mounting to a tripod or stabilizer, screw the base into the 1/4"-20 thread until hand-tight. To use the cold shoe, slide your microphone or lighting accessory into the slot until the locking pin clicks.
Care instructions involve keeping the silicone surfaces clean to maintain grip and checking the screws on the rotating shafts periodically to ensure they remain tensioned to your preference. Do not exceed the 0.5 kg weight limit to avoid damaging the joints.
