I have two professional-grade vertical photographic copy stands and two professional tripods for copying with my SLR cameras. However, more recently I’m finding that my cell phone does an excellent job of document copying for many applications...and it requires far less effort than dragging out the big cameras and copy stands.However, to achieve good sharpness and framing one needs to support the phone on some sort of simple copy stand, and, ideally, one needs to trigger the phone with a remote shutter release to avoid shaking the camera during the exposure. The big advantage of the phone is its very light weight, which allows for a lightweight and compact stand. For my system I purchased the ChromLives Scissor Boom Arm Articulating Phone Stand and a remote shutter release that works with my Samsung S20 phone. I found that the Chromlives base-clamp works well on my workbench with its 1.75 inch grip range, and the articulating arms are able to hold the phone up to 25 inches above the bench surface for horizontal copying. For storage, the unit folds compactly into a 16” x 4” x 2” bundle.In operation, when taking photos of a subject below the phone (the normal copy orientation), the phone screen needs to face up so you can see it, and the phone’s camera needs to face down toward the subject being copied. Thus, to work properly, the phone clamp has to be located on the back of the camera (below the camera), be narrow enough to not block the camera’s field of view, and be positioned so that the clamp doesn’t push any phone buttons on the side of the phone. The clamp size and positioning capability worked out great with my Samsung Galaxy S20, but you might want to check the needs of your phone. Note that the manufacturer’s image does not show the correct manner to hold the phone.In terms of the boom operation, the scissor-boom’s joints hold tight, work smoothly, and hold the phone quite stably. However, I knocked off a star because the phone mount is spring loaded with a very strong spring that makes it very difficult to install and remove the phone without disturbing the photographic setup or pushing the phone’s side buttons. Also, the supplied ball joint is not very smooth to operate. This is important to me, as I pull the phone on and off the copy stand often during a shoot to view the images I’ve taken on my computer.For my setup, I replaced the phone mount with a screw-clamp style phone mount and substituted a better quality ball joint (see photo). With these items replaced, and using my remote shutter release, the ChromLives Phone Stand works like a champ. I use it all the time.For bigger items, like blue prints, I clamp the Chromlives base-clamp onto the ball head of one of my big camera tripods. This allows me to photograph very large prints with the cell phone.

I use this for cookie decorating. At first (for months!!), I was very disappointed because the clip where the projector pops into is flimsy & ive had my projector pop off mid-cookie! BUT then I saw someone using the same stand WITHOUT the top attachment - just screw the projector right onto the top, after unscrewing the flimsy attachment (rectangle holder part). NOW, it’s very sturdy & I love it! And it’s cheap!!

This would be great but it's very tricky to get it to hold my Pixel phone or Canon Sureshot horizontally to take pictures on table. If you can get the ball joint locked in securely at the right angle, don't breathe on it or you have to fiddle with the thing again. It's thumb screw is too tiny and hard to get tight. Also the spring-loaded holder feels cheap and flimsy. I believe it will break if stressed. Would have preferred being able to change out this head for a better one but you can't. The stand part of it is stable and quite satisfactory.

It is perfect for using with my pico+ projector.

Hopefully there is a way the seller can contact me, because I am extremely dissatisfied with this product.When I put my phone on the stand, it leans over and does not stay in the position I set it in even when I tighten all of the points. I use this as a document camera for online teaching, and it is extremely frustrating that the stand does not stay in the position I set it to and just leans over as soon as I set it. I spent $30 on this product and it honestly feels like a waste of money at this point because I will have to replace it after literally 1 week of use.I may have gotten a defective product, and I would greatly appreciate if the seller could contact me back to see if we can problem solve this.Update: support was able to send me a replacement and it arrived less than 24 hours later. I’ve added an additional star and will update after using to see how it holds up.Second Update: this did not hold up. The ball doesn't hold its position no matter how tight you make it. I just don't understand how I can go through several of these and they all and up breaking in a different location. I'm a teacher and all I use this for is showing my desk and swiveling to show my wall. It shouldn't be causing such problems.

It feels physical good and would do the job but won't clamp on an Ikea desk.Maybe my fault if there was an option for a bigger opening.

Me vino con una pinza bonus que es igual al sujetador que se muestra pero es de tuerca y es más fácil de poner y quitar, estoy muy contento de haberlo comprado, tardaron unos pocos días fuera de lo previsto pero en mi caso no hay problema, CONSIDERALO SI QUIERES COMPRARLO CÓMO REGALO para que no te pase eso, llegó uno 9 días de retraso aprox, pero estoy contento con mi compra

Jättebra, stabil och håller min lilla lödfläkt på plats, även mobil och annat.

Ich hatte vor dieser Halterung, Modelle mit den Schwanenhälsen. Ja diese sind vielleicht viel flexibler, jedoch hielten die Meisten nicht so lange, wo die Halterung das Handy (Iphone 12pro) nicht mehr halten konnte... dieses Produkt hier benutze ich seit 8 Monaten und es ist immer noch top und stabil. Kein wegkippen, kein wackeln. Man kann es trotzdem in allen Richtungen einstellen. bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Produkt und würde es weiterempfehlen
