"...First, I don't like that this is spring-loaded, though I knew that going in, so I'm not rating based on this...." Read more

The MCLAMP has are two 1/4" threaded screws to mount to a tripod or stand: the one in the back is, I'm guessing, used to make the tripod into a stand for viewing. If you don't have a tripod handy, you can also flip out the back panel to create a stand to, say watch movies on a plane. Really good value at $10, especially for a Manfrotto product.

I can put it on with a bit of effort (one attempt had me slingshotting the clamp and my handle across the counter). It's so tight that I worry it might put stress on my phone's frame. I have been leaving the clamp with something very wide clamped into it overnight, hoping it might exert some wear on the spring and perhaps loosen it up a bit during normal usage.
But it does hold the phone extremely well and its balance while using it is, nice, natural feeling. I'm using a small microphone shaped handle which came with a Zoom audio recorder but the clamp also works well on my Manfroto monopod and on the many and sundry tripods I have on hand.
I would not hesitate to buy this very secure clamp, but would warn anyone with phones which come close to its specified maximum width to be sure they know that it's very, very tight.
My big complaint is that the jaws and pads are tiny. If you're trying a phone without a case, a recent phone will be fine. I've tried with models of iPhones in the last 3 years with the Otterbox Defender and Commuter cases, which are fairly low-profile. The phones have been super unstable in these and want to jump out because there's almost no depth to the jaws of the clamp. I don't trust the clamp at all.
My final complaint is that the mount is plastic and just doesn't feel sturdy in general. If you have a really specific need, they'd probably do OK for some light use, but I wouldn't trust it very far. For about 3 bucks more, you can get an excellent phone mount.
I'd recommend the Ulanzi ST-03 phone mount if you're looking for one. It's awesome because it's solid metal, adjustable, and folds somewhat flat without the jaws sticking out. I bought one and ended up buying a second because I liked it so much. It has more features than the Manfrotto, including a built-in Arca Swiss mount so you don't have to use the tripod screw, and the build quality is MUCH better.
