G2 - The Bold One - Open Box

Shoulderpod G2 — turn your phone into a real video rig for travel content

The gist: A rugged smartphone grip that adds six cold shoes for mics, lights, and battery packs, built for travelers who shoot serious video content on just a phone.

• Six cold shoe mounts: Attach a shotgun mic, an LED light, and a battery pack simultaneously — useful for run-and-gun travel vlogging where you can't carry a full rig.
• Fits most phones, with or without a case: A spring-loaded Smart-Clamp accommodates devices 2.3 to 3.5 inches wide, so it works across iPhone and Android without swapping mounts.
• Tripod-ready in landscape or portrait: Two standard 1/4"-20 inserts let it go straight onto a travel tripod for either orientation, handy for switching between YouTube and vertical social formats.
• Built for rough handling: Fiberglass-reinforced composite construction with a rubberized grip and clamps, designed to survive the daily bumps of travel filming.

NoFilmSchool called it a tool that "transforms smartphones into professional video rigs," noting its extensive mounting capability comes in well under the price of rigs like the Beastgrip Pro, though that competitor does add lens-adapter support the G2 lacks.

Best for: nomads and creators shooting phone-first travel video who need mic and light mounts without a full camera setup. Skip it if: you need interchangeable lens mounts — this grip doesn't do that. Runs ~$60-70 — check the current price before buying.
