Magnus BHSP-04 Reviews

Small But Works Well

By Gerald

This ball head is small and works well with a smartphone. But I sure wouldn’t use it with my NIkon Z8 or my Hasselblad. Limit your use to a smartphone.

Very Good Response from Magnus

My BHSP-04 broke apart when I tried to mount my iPhone 15 Pro Max (in its Apple Silicon case). I got a good response from Magnus when I explained the problem. Their spec for maximum width is just barely above the actual width of my phone in its case. They sent me a replacement BHSP-04.

Is this Magnus ball head compatible with Magnus ...

Is this Magnus ball head compatible with Magnus GP-100 Tripod, EITHER instead of, OR added on top of tripod's stock pan-tilt head with quick release?
Asked by: Charles
The Magnus BHSP-04 Ball Head with Built-In Smartphone Adapter can mount on the Quick Release Plate of the Magnus GP-100 Light-Duty Tripod. Though the Magnus GP-100 Light-Duty Tripod comes with it's own Smartphone mount, and this would not be absolutely necessary for that tripod. The Magnus GP-100 Light-Duty Tripod does not have a removable head.

my iPhone 11 with case measures in at just shy of 3 1/2" across. Would I be able to use this with my phone and case?
Asked by: Brian
The maximum width capacity of smartphones that may be used with the Magnus BHSP-04 Ball Head with Built-In Smartphone Adapter would be 3.15 inches wide. If your smartphone/case combination measures 3.5 inches wide, it would be too wide for use with the Magnus BHSP-04 Ball Head.

What guidance fo you have for a Good tripod for iPhone X to take interior design photos?
Asked by: Thomas
A suitable tripod for use with an iPhone X is the Manfrotto Compact Action Aluminum Tripod (Black), BH # MACATBKAS. You can add the Square Jellyfish Jelly Grip Tripod Mount for Smartphones, BH # SQJLYGRTM15 to hold the iPhone X to the tripod. https://bhpho.to/3n1hdZo https://bhpho.to/3lWnuEm
