3 Legged Thing is proud to unveil Phil, a robust and feature-packed smartphone holder.
"One of our most requested products is a tripod mount for smartphones," said Alison Barclay, Head of Marketing at 3 Legged Thing. "As with all of our products, our designers incorporate plenty of extra features, and Phil is no different, with its easy rotation, accessory threads and cold-shoe mounts."
Made from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, Phil combines durability with sleek styling and innovative functionality. Its soft-touch, rubber-lined clamp not only provides a secure grip for smartphones but also protects their delicate edges, ensuring peace of mind whilst in use.
Phil's dual-function rear lock features a wing knob for extending and locking the clamp, whilst the knurled section locks and unlocks the clamp rotation. This makes switching between portrait and landscape orientations quick and simple, catering to both vertical and wide-screen content needs.
The holder takes versatility to new heights with cold-shoe slots on both ends of the clamp perfect for mounting microphones, monitors, or compact LED lights. The rear of the mount includes a 3/8"-16 thread with ¼â€-20 sleeve adapter for the attachment of accessory arms like 3 Legged Thing's Pivot Magic Arms. This combination of features allows creators to effortlessly customise their set-ups, ready to create incredible footage or stills.
Phil’s base is Arca-Swiss compatible, making it easy to pair with a wide range of tripods and clamps, including those from 3 Legged Thing. An additional 3/8”-16 thread with ¼”-20 sleeve adapter on the underside, adds versatility when attaching to desk mounts, long plates, tripods and gimbals.
3LT anodises the smartphone holder in four of their signature colours:
- Darkness (matte black)
- Lava (black with copper accents)
- Moss (a natural shade of green), and
- Ocean Blue.
Starting today, the Phil multifunction smartphone holder is available at a suggested retail price of £29.99 / US $39.99. You can purchase it directly from 3LeggedThing.com, and all good camera retailers. Find your nearest store at 3leggedthing.com/where-to-buy.
