USER MANUAL SPCS-001 Robus

Thank you for choosing Robus

The Robus SPCS-001 is a versatile solution for mounting a smartphone on any accessory with a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 stud, such as a tripod, tripod head, or monopod. The smartphone clamp is compatible with smartphones up to 4 inches wide, and the clamp's upper and lower jaws are adjustable for a perfect fit. Mounting options include 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 sockets that are compatible with most tripods. The Arca-type base is compatible with most tripod heads with Arca-style quick release clamps. Several 1/4-20 accessory sockets are placed around the adapter for adding your favorite accessory, and there is an integrated cold shoe for camera-mount accessories. When it's not mounted on a tripod, the desktop stand converts the adapter into a stand-alone smartphone stand.
