Overview
A dual-handle phone cage and stabilizer rig with an adjustable phone clamp from 2.2 to 4 inches, cold shoe mounts for a microphone and light, and multiple 1/4 inch threads for tripods and accessory arms. It is built from black anodized aluminum alloy and compatible with SmallRig accessories.
This is a passive handheld rig rather than a motorized gimbal, so stability comes from the dual-handle grip and balanced design rather than motors correcting for shake. It functions as a base for building out a vlogging setup with a mic and light rather than a complete kit on its own.
- Dual-handle aluminum alloy phone rig
- Cage adjusts 2.2 to 4 inches wide
- Two cold shoe mounts plus wireless mic slot
- Multiple 1/4 inch threads for tripods and arms
Who it's for
Suits vloggers and content creators who want two-handed grip stability and mounting points for a mic and light on their phone. Not for anyone wanting automated stabilization, since that requires a motorized gimbal instead.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dual handles for steadier two-handed grip
- Phone cage fits 2.2 to 4 inch wide phones
- Two cold shoe mounts for a mic and light
- Compatible with SmallRig accessories
- Passive stabilization only, no motorized correction

Performance notes
The trapezoidal dual-handle interface and foam coating are meant to keep grip steady during handheld shooting, while the phone cage adjusts from 2.2 to 4 inches to fit most current phones. Two cold shoe mounts plus a wireless mic transmitter slot let a microphone and light attach directly to the rig instead of the phone.
