Get A Grip with ShoulderPod S1
The Shouldered S1 is a smartphone handgrip, tripod mount and stand. The aluminum extension and wrist strap allow you hold your smartphone comfortably and steadily making it a perfect accessory for panning and accessing difficult viewing angles. It grips your device tightly and securely with an adjustable thumb-screw and wide rubber pads. Mount your smartphone onto any tripod thanks its universal threaded base. The S1 can also be used as stand that keeps your phone steady for viewing,editing and shooting. Build quality is great.
The S1 is adjustable, so you can use it with almost any smartphone model; I’ve had no problem using it with my iPhone 6 Plus. I took the shot below of Manchester’s Christmas Market in December 2014, from the top of the 280 ft high Town Hall clock tower, leaning out and over a parapet. I kept my iPhone steady and horizontal thanks to the S1.
The company, based in Barcelona, are extremely helpful and friendly too. They have produced an essential piece of equipment that is never too far from my reach when I’m out shooting.
