Oben ASPTA-20 Overview

The ASPTA-20 Smartphone Tripod Adapter from Oben lets you securely mount your smartphone onto a wide variety of platforms like a tripod, monopod, and tripod head. And to ensure compatibility, the ASPTA-20 can mount to these platforms via the Arca-type base or either of the standard 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 threaded holes in the mounting plate.

Mounting your smartphone is quick and easy. The clamp-style holder is adjustable and spring-loaded, accommodating smartphones from 2.4 to 3.7" wide - in or out of a case. When inside the holder, your smartphone gets additional protection from the curved edges that work to keep the phone from slipping out. The interior is also foam-lined, safeguarding the finish of your phone while providing extra grip.

Safely fastening a smartphone to your platform of choice is not where the capabilities of this adapter end. Additional features, such as an integrated ball joint, lets you pivot the phone in a variety of positions. A locking knob on the clamp secures it into place so you can get the precise shot you want. You can further enhance your work with the integrated cold shoe, so you can attach optional accessories such as an LED light or microphone to your setup. More than a simple tripod adapter, the ASPTA-20 can integrate into your workflow help you capture a wide range of mobile content.

Constructed from solid aluminum, this adapter can handle the rigors of outdoor shoots in rough terrain, and all kinds of weather.

Oben ASPTA-20 Reviews

High-quality Adaptor

By Keith
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-25

The Oben ASPTA-20 is a high-quality metal tripod adaptor for Smartphones. The construction and finish is excellent and will outlast its plastic rivals. It screws snuggly via the 1/4" threaded mount to an existing tripod that I have. The ball-mount for the adaptor pivots smoothly when needed and remains firmly in position when secured. The spring in the sliding phone clasp is strong and securely holds the phone when the entire unit is tilted in any direction.

Awesome IPhone holders

These iPhone holders work great for filming concerts live with two iPhones. One behind the band filming audience and one facing the band. They help capture all of the magic.

With the iPhone camera lenses facing the ball joint, will the ball joint get in the shot when using the widest lens?
Asked by: Edwin
It's a good question, particularly since the confusing photo shows the phone being mounted that way (backwards). Assume the grip works equally well in either mounting direction (?) Maybe the follow-up question is whether the touch-screen camera controls are blocked by the ball joint to some degree, when the touch screen is facing that direction.
