Securely hold a SSD.

It does the job all of securing the SSD. I can’t use the flash if I use the SSD because I don’t have another cold shoe. I am disappointed that I can’t use it as much as I would like since writing to SSD is faster than even 300mbps SD cards.

My thought on the Smallrig mou

I bought this for my phone wanting to add more storage space with my Samsung t9 ssd. Like all of Smallrig's products it's well made. The problem was it was just to small (the underside needs to be longer) and interfered with the camera on both my S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 promax. I plan on just using it on my telescope mount for storage there. In all its not a great product for adding storage space to you phone if you plan on using the camera.
