We are pleased to announce our new and improved Smartphone Mount 2! You spoke and we listened. This new smartphone bracket features a durable rubber backing and side grips - no more foam padding. Similar to the old bracket, simply press the buttons and the spring-loaded side arms pop open. Insert your cell phone and squeeze the arms together for a firm grip. The second improvement is how the smartphone mount is attached to our flexible gooseneck arms. No more screws and washers! We have introduced a new "B17" ball that simply screws into the gooseneck: The back of the Smartphone Mount 2 features a socket for accepting the 17mm ball. This arrangement allows you to tilt, swivel and rotate your phone to a portrait or landscape orientation. After placing your phone exactly where you want it simply tighten the locking collar: Our 18" Medium-Light Duty flexible gooseneck arm is ideal for supporting lightweight cell phones - it is both strong and very easy to bend - giving you full control of placing your device exactly where you want it. Zoom meetings, FaceTime, live streaming, vlogging - the iPhone & Smartphone SnakeClamp is the ideal solution. With our 8 mounting base options you attach it to anything. Here is a sample configuration shown with our new Smartphone Mount 2, 18" medium-light duty flexible gooseneck arm and 6" x 6" square steel base. You can always build your own custom iPhone & Smartphone SnakeClamp in our iPhone & Smartphone Collection. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. This professional quality iPhone and smartphone flexible arm stand will exceed your expectations!
