FirstLook: Shoulderpod S1

What I Found

A practical first look at the Shoulderpod S1 smartphone rig, including how it fits the iPhone 6 Plus, how secure it.

When I moved up to a larger iPhone, especially the iPhone 6 Plus, I ran into a problem I did not expect: my old phone mounts just did not feel right anymore.

The Shoulderpod S1 looks like a solid answer if you need a simple smartphone rig for a larger phone like the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. It clamps around the phone with rubber V-shaped pads, includes a threaded tripod mount, and can also work as a handheld grip or small stand.
