Oben SPA-50 Reviews

Nicely made but doesn’t work with iPhone 17 Pro Max in an Otterbox

By Steven
Rated 3 out of 5

The mount is nicely made feels very solid and sturdy. The problem is that it is too narrow to fit an iPhone 17 Pro Max that’s in an OtterBox case. It would need to open up about another half an inch to fit. So unfortunately, I had to send it back. And I wish I had known this in advance, but there were no reviews or any question and answers that mentioned it. What’s weird though is that other phone mounts that I have by the same brand (Oben) do fit my phone. I don’t know why this one is so different. Perhaps it’s made by a different contracted manufacturing plant to a different specification or something. But at least B&H made the process painless to send it back.

ALL metal, sturdy axis and 2 shoe mounts!

The Oben SPA-50 is 100% made of aluminum. The axis is snug and precise, so it will hold any phone securely without tilting unexpectedly. I am using this product with an iPhone 16 ProMax. It has two cold shoe mounts: one on top for your microphone or similar accessories, even for using it as a teleprompter, and one on the bottom for attaching a mini audio receiver like a Rode or DJI. You can also flip it over, and the bottom shoe becomes the top, giving you flexibility to set it up however you need. Base: It is not limited to shoe mounts. It features a 1/4-20 thread, and if you remove the adapter, it becomes a full 3/8. This means you can mount it on a tripod with a 3/8 thread, on a light stand, or any other support using either 1/4 or 3/8 threads. The spring loaded smartphone clamp accommodates a variety of phones from 2.3 to 3.4 inches wide and is padded with silicone strips that improve grip without scratching your phone's finish or screen. The spring is very strong, so use two hands when placing your phone in the clamp. The entire design prioritizes tightness for phone safety, and the angles you set will stay in place no matter what you are shooting. The phone clamp rotates a full 360 degrees and has 90 degree stops for instantly switching your camera from portrait to landscape orientation. I included photos of it in use, visible only on the full desktop version of the B&H website, not the app. I am very happy with this item. [I received this product in exchange for my honest review.]
