The iPhone is a
wonderful machine for photographing and filming. The possibilities offered by
whether with the application integrated into iOS or thanks to third-party apps are
countless and allow everyone to create and distribute original content
and/or family. We were thus able to discover
in this folder creative photo apps, but alsoof the
accessories specifically designed to allow photos and videos
successful.

Today it is a portable complete set intended for shooting
with a smartphone that has passed through our hands: foot and fixation of the
Aukey brand.

Premier contact

The presentation is as usual at Aukey, very economical (and
ecological) with a perfectly fitted cardboard, made from recycled materials.
It encloses the foot with a cap topped with a cord:

But also the sliding fixing part which is used to maintain the
smartphone :

The whole thing is plastic, it's not necessarily pretty with the cutouts
and other reinforcements, but this has the advantage of being economical and light to
transporter.

On the upper part, a metal ball intended to ensure the
rotation and tiltof the iPhone is integrated into the support,
a locking handle is used to hold the assembly in a fixed position once
set:

When removing the cap, a standard screw suitable for devices
photos appear. It allows you to attach a camera or camera without
require adapter.

But for smartphones, a specifically adapted clamp is provided. He
It is a spring-loaded jaw which holds the machine.

Under each foot, a rubber pad is provided to ensure good
held on any support:

Utilisation

Setting up the support is simple: once the jaw is screwed
on the tripod, simply insert the iPhone into it.

We tested with an iPhone 7 Plus and it fits, but it's very tight, so
avoid joint use with a shell that is too thick, this will not work
not.

Conversely, once in place, the machine is very well held, this does not
move more.

With an iPhone 6, the same, the machine is clamped and held, it does not
don't move a bit

With iPhone 6/6s/7 the performance is good while if the iPhone 5/5s works well
heard without problem, without shell, it is less tight than the other models,
this is the lower limit in terms of size.

We note that the manufacturer has provided rubber feet where the iPhone is
in contact with the support, no risk of scratches expected:

The feet are not extendable and unfold suddenly, so we have with
this support only one height and one position. It is a support intended for
use primarily on a table or support. We note that the feet
not unfolded can serve as a handle to hold the assembly to the
main.

But the most important thing about this type of equipment concerns the possibilities
tilt, its adjustment and maintenance.

Here, the mechanism consists of a ball allowing rotation and
tilt in all directions. To do this, a small tab opens and
closes to lock the ball in the chosen position. It turns out
efficient and very flexible.

The permitted angle, without being infinite, is relatively vast:

Finally, we note a small specificity on this support, namelythe
presence of a (small) spirit level. Very simple but practical, it
allows you to check the precise tilt of the iPhone:

Last possibility to mention, the support has two screw threads, it
can thus be placed in a horizontal position:

Conclusion

With this support and at this price, there is no doubtservice sought is
perfectly rendered! The machine is well maintained, the whole is
stable and very well finished. We appreciate the small details like the level at
bubble or jaw finish holding. This makes it a partner of
voyagelight, simple but effective for taking photos and videos
original. For those looking for the most high-end, it exists but
It’s much more expensive!
