How to adjust your phone on Sony Smartphone Tripod SPA-MK20M ?

First of all assemble all the products at a place. It has a tripod stand and universal camera holder which has a standard 1/4-20 UNC internal camera thread that can be attached to a full-size tripod or any other mount.

Open the legs of Sony Smartphone Tripod SPA-MK20M stand and place it gently on a plane surface.

Now screw the camera holder on the tripod stand.

Now after adjusting the camera holder on top of tripod stand, just help of some other person and ask them to hold the phone and stretch the slider on universal camera holder from both sides ( top sliders are stretched to opposite directions and bottom slider is stretched upwards ) and in the mean time place your phone inside it gently.

Be cautious when you are putting your phone inside camera holder, don’t end chipping your phone’s part. While putting Xperia Z1 make sure power button side is at the location where two sliders are present in camera holder.

Pros

• Very Light Weight.
• Easy to use, durable.
• 100% Compatible with wide range of Xperia smartphones.
• Universal camera holder can be used on wide varieties of mount.

Cons

• Length of tripod legs is very small but still we are not considering it as a disadvantage.
