While I do give 5 star ratings, I don't do it unless I believe the item is outstanding in form, fit, and function.This rating can apply to all kinds of things from water dispensers, to plastic bags, and even to adhesive tape.If I believe the manufacture has delivered a product that can meet my expectations, (as picky as I am), and that product actually makes me happy I purchased it, then it deserves a 5 star rating in my book.That said, this is an excellent phone mount!It's very easy to use, mounts quickly to the phone, appears sturdy in construction, feels exceptionally smooth in operation, and is just a dang pleasure to use!I have absolutely no fear that this phone mount will not hold on to my expensive S22 Ultra!This thing is solid!The clamping jaws are angled down/inward so when closed around the phone, (or case), the phone is held securely and won't slide out.The jaws have rubber pads that are (in my opinion) just the right hardness that the phone is well padded and held gently and securely with no slippage.All movements on the mount are very smooth and positive with no looseness or rattling anywhere.The knob and angle locking clamp are smooth and positive locking.Very nice!What I like most about it is that to lock the phone in you don't need to use excessive force.The spring tension of the device is enough to compress the rubber pads around the phone, and then you just lock the knob down and you're done.Very little force is also needed on the portrait/landscape angle locking lever.Basically, you push the lever back until it stops and the lock is sufficient.This is a good thing because the angle locking lever is quite small in stature... too much pressure on it and it seems you could possibly break it.I wrote a review on the Ulanzi ST-03 which I compared to this Armarkok.Without saying all the same things here, you can read what I thought about the Ulanzi in that review. Suffice to say the Armarkok win's hands down!Lastly, this review is written using a Samsung S22 Ultra with a Spigen Clear case on it.Phone fit is very good in this mount.I can't speak for other phones so you'll just have to try it..As for the Arca Swiss plate fit... I do believe the plate is on the small side as 1 reviewer has stated, however, I personally have no fit or locking issues using any of my tripods (3) or spare plates (2).5 stars!

This bracket is very solid, and grips the phone properly, with easily adjustable pressure and a lock to ensure it stays put.Very happy with this purchase, even if it was a bit pricey -- but they say "you get what you pay for."

Love that it's not plastic!A few reviews mentioned the spring loaded mechanism which holds the phone in place.It's really not hard to use.If your fingers aren't the strongest... and your phone has a cover, simply use the phone to gently pry the mechanism wide enough to fit the phone.Once you tighten the screw on the mechanism, you will never have to deal with it again. (Well until you get a bigger phone)I'm not using this holder with any extra attachments so can't speak about that, but for a basic but very well made phone holder for a tripod this is a good deal.
