This phone holder was made specifically to fit the quick release plate mechanism on my Velbon T-3500 tripod, but I expect it will work on other similar models of tripod.

Assembly and Use

  2. Screw the PostLock part way onto the Post
  3. Screw the Post into the Plate, and then screw down the PostLock to lock it in place
  4. Place the two Grips onto the Post (see photos for correct orientation)

To use the holder, lock the holder assembly onto your tripod using the tripod quick release mechanism. Place your phone between the two Grips and screw down the Knob to hold the Grips in place.
