Cold Shoe Mount - for MagSafe®
Our Review
Moment Cold Shoe Mount for MagSafe — a light rig that fits in your jacket pocket
The gist: If you shoot travel video on your phone, this magnetic cold shoe is the fastest way to add a mic or light without carrying a cage.
- Magnetic snap-on: Moment's (M)Force magnet array locks onto any MagSafe iPhone, magnetic Android, or Moment Case — no screws or clamps to fiddle with on the move.
- Compact: 2.28 x 3.23 x 0.59 in (5.8 x 8.2 x 1.5 cm) per Pack Hacker's measured spec sheet — small enough to stash in a jacket pocket between setups.
- Adjustable arm: The cold shoe arm extends to clear thicker phone cases, so you don't have to shoot caseless just to mount a mic.
- Padded contact points: Keeps the phone's finish protected during repeated snap-on/snap-off, useful if you're mounting and unmounting gear daily on a trip.
Fstoppers' hands-on review of Moment's MagSafe mounts found the magnetic hold reassuringly strong once it clicks into place, though it noted the connection is tuned for accessories, not for hanging heavier weight off the phone.
Best for: nomads who film phone-only vlogs or interviews and want a quick mic/light mount without extra bulk in the bag. Skip it if: you plan to mount anything heavier than a compact light or mic capsule — Moment's own tripod mount is the sturdier pick for load-bearing use. Runs ~$30 — check the current price before buying.
