K&F Phone Clamp with Cold Shoe for Phone on Camera Mounting | KF31.084

Mount your phone, add your gear, frame your shot

The K&F Concept Phone Clamp with Cold Shoe for Phone on Camera Mounting, is designed for content creators who need to mount their smartphone alongside professional audio and lighting without carrying a full camera cage. The spring-loaded clamp holds phones between 5.5cm and 9cm width securely, with rubberised pads that protect the finish. Two cold shoe mounts on top let you stack a microphone and fill light on the same rig, eliminating the need for separate brackets or adapters. The clamp rotates 360° through indexed positions for repeatable portrait and landscape framing, with a locking knob that secures 180° of tilt adjustment so the phone stays put during handheld movement or tripod panning. The base mounts to tripods, selfie sticks, or camera hot shoes via a standard 1/4-inch thread and cold shoe interface, so the phone can ride alongside your main camera as a secondary monitor or operate independently. At 54g, the aluminium-alloy frame folds flat for pocket carry, making it a practical tool for creators who need accessory mounting without the bulk of heavier metal cages.

Spring-loaded clamp for multi-device compatibility
The 5.5 to 9cm clamp range accommodates most current smartphones with cases on, so you don't need to swap mounts when upgrading handsets. The spring mechanism holds the phone securely without point-loading that could crack a screen protector or dent a soft metal frame. Rubberised grip pads distribute pressure evenly across the left and right edges, leaving volume buttons, power buttons, charging ports, and speaker grilles completely accessible. This design works with slim cases, rugged cases, and even wallet cases as long as the total width stays under 9cm, though pop sockets and ring holders that protrude from the back surface prevent the phone from sitting flush.

Dual cold shoe mounts for stacked accessories
The two cold shoe rails on top accept microphones, LED fill lights, and any other cold shoe accessories without brand restrictions. This lets you run clean audio and face lighting simultaneously from a single phone mount, critical for talking-head videos or product demos where phone audio and ambient light aren't enough. The cold shoe mounts themselves have no load limit; the constraint is balance. Mounting two lightweight accessories like a shotgun mic around 80g and a small LED panel around 60g keeps the centre of gravity stable, but stacking heavier gear requires tripod mounting rather than handheld use.

Indexed rotation and tilt for repeatable framing
The 360° rotation locks into fixed intervals with tactile feedback, so you can snap between portrait and landscape orientations without guessing the angle. This matters for creators who switch between Instagram stories in portrait and YouTube intros in landscape multiple times per shoot; indexed positions mean repeatable framing without eyeballing the rotation. The 180° tilt adjustment secures via a threaded locking knob that holds the angle under load, essential for overhead product shots where the phone needs to point straight down without drifting. Both adjustments lock firmly enough to handle handheld movement or tripod panning without creep.

Dual mounting system for tripods and cameras
The 1/4-inch thread on the base fits any tripod, monopod, or selfie stick, while the cold shoe interface slides directly into DSLR and mirrorless camera hot shoes without adapters. This turns the phone into a secondary monitor or teleprompter mounted on top of your main camera body, useful for running a monitoring app while shooting with a mirrorless camera that lacks a flip screen. The dual mounting system also works with gimbals that accept standard camera mounting plates, though adding a phone clamp plus accessories changes the weight distribution and requires rebalancing. For handheld gimbals designed specifically for phones, this clamp may be overkill; it's better suited to tripod, monopod, or camera-mounted use.

Compact folding design for pocket carry
The clamp and mounts fold flat for storage with no protruding parts, so it drops into a jacket pocket or camera bag side pouch without snagging on other gear. At 54g, the aluminium-alloy frame with carbon fibre pattern finish delivers rigidity without bulk, reducing the weight penalty of adding accessories to your phone rig. This makes it practical to carry as a backup mount on travel shoots where you might need to rig a phone for a second angle, rather than leaving it at home because it's too heavy or awkward to pack. The compact form factor also means you can leave it attached to your tripod head permanently without it taking up significant space in your bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will this clamp damage my phone's buttons or ports?
A: The spring-loaded jaws grip the left and right edges of your phone only, leaving the top, bottom, and all four corners completely clear. Volume buttons, power buttons, charging ports, and speaker grilles remain accessible and unobstructed during use. The rubberised pads distribute pressure evenly across the contact area, so there's no point-loading that could crack a screen protector or dent a soft metal frame.

Q: Can I use this with a phone case on, or does it only fit bare phones?
A: The 5.5 to 9cm width range is measured with a case on. Most slim cases, rugged cases, and even wallet cases will fit as long as the total width stays under 9cm. If you run a particularly thick case like an Otterbox Defender, measure the width with the case on before ordering. The clamp won't accommodate pop sockets or ring holders that protrude from the back surface, as they prevent the phone from sitting flush against the grip pads.

Q: Does the cold shoe base on the bottom require an adapter to mount on a camera hot shoe?
A: No adapter needed. The cold shoe interface on the base slides directly into any standard camera hot shoe, the metal bracket on top of your DSLR or mirrorless body. If your camera has a plastic cold shoe instead of a metal hot shoe, the mount still fits. Cold shoes and hot shoes share the same physical dimensions; the only difference is whether electrical contacts are present.

Q: How much weight can the dual cold shoe mounts on top support before the clamp tips forward?
A: The clamp itself weighs 54g, so mounting two lightweight accessories like a shotgun mic around 80g and a small LED panel around 60g keeps the centre of gravity stable. If you're stacking heavier gear, say a full-sized on-camera light, the setup becomes front-heavy and you'll need to mount the clamp on a tripod rather than handheld. The cold shoe mounts themselves have no load limit; the constraint is balance, not strength.

Q: Can I leave the clamp attached to my tripod permanently, or does it need to be removed between shoots?
A: The 1/4-inch thread on the base screws into your tripod head just like a camera body, so you can leave it attached as long as you want. The clamp folds flat when not in use, so it won't snag on other gear in your bag. If you're switching between a phone and a camera on the same tripod head during a shoot, you'll need to unscrew the clamp and swap it out; there's no quick-release plate system built in.

Q: Does this work with gimbals, or is it tripod-only?
A: The 1/4-inch thread fits any gimbal that accepts a standard camera mounting plate. That said, adding a phone clamp plus accessories to a gimbal changes the weight distribution, so you'll need to rebalance the gimbal after mounting. If your gimbal has a payload limit, factor in the 54g clamp weight plus your phone and any accessories. For handheld gimbals designed specifically for phones, this clamp may be overkill; it's better suited to tripod, monopod, or camera-mounted use.
