Leofoto PS-5 Magnetic Smartphone Holder (Arca compatible) Black

Leofoto PS-5 magnetic smartphone mount, compact, strong and Arca-compatible

Let’s be honest: how often do you balance your smartphone half-wobbling on a coffee cup, on a stack of books or somehow on a windowsill, just to quickly get a video, a reel or a call set up properly. With the Leofoto PS-5 magnetic smartphone mount you no longer have to build these improvised constructions, because it was developed precisely for these moments: small, stable, and surprisingly versatile.

Compact lightweight for on the go

The Leofoto PS-5 can be folded down to a size of about 60 x 102 millimeters and then almost disappears unobtrusively in your pocket. Weighing only around 78 grams, it feels more like an “always with you” item than additional photo gear. We’d say: this is the kind of piece you pack once and then never want to leave at home again.

Despite its compact dimensions, the mount doesn’t feel delicate or fragile, but pleasantly solid. It is clearly designed for mobile use, whether you’re quickly filming in a café, taking a meeting on the train, or recording a time-lapse on the balcony in the evening.

Versatile mounting options for everyday use and content creation

The PS-5 is not just a simple phone holder, but more like a small multi-tool for your smartphone. Basically, you have three typical usage scenarios that constantly alternate in practice:

• 1. Stand-alone solution as a table tripod
  You can simply place the Leofoto PS-5 on the table and use it as a compact table tripod. Perfect for video conferences, online meetings, cooking videos in the kitchen or whenever you want to have both hands free while streaming. No fiddling, no opening and closing clamps, just attach your smartphone and you’re done.
• 2. Mounting on a tripod with Arca-compatible quick-release clamp
  The mount is designed to be Arca-compatible, so you can attach it to compatible quick-release clamps. If you already use a tripod with an Arca-style system, the PS-5 integrates seamlessly into your setup. For photo and video shooters who work with Arca anyway, it’s almost a no-brainer, because you can switch between camera and smartphone without detours.
• 3. Use as a selfie-stick solution
  In combination with a suitable handle or monopod, you can use the mount as a kind of selfie stick. Ideal for vlogs, reels, stories or group photos where you don’t want to keep asking someone to “quickly hold the phone”. This way you get more distance, better framing and overall more relaxed shots.

Magnetic smartphone attachment without clamps

Instead of squeezing your smartphone into a spring clamp, the Leofoto PS-5 relies on a strong magnetic mount. This means you don’t have to adjust anything, pull anything open or tighten anything. You simply bring your smartphone close to the mount and the magnet does the rest. It almost seems a bit unspectacular until you realize how pleasantly fast it is in everyday use.

The prerequisite, of course, is that your smartphone or its case is magnetic. Many current models already offer this feature. If that’s not the case for you, it’s not a problem, because a suitable metal ring is included.

High-quality aluminum housing for stability and durability

The Leofoto PS-5 is made of robust, precisely machined aluminum. This material not only provides a premium feel, but also high stability with low weight at the same time. The mount therefore feels pleasantly trustworthy when you attach your smartphone to it; nothing creaks, nothing wobbles excessively.

Thanks to its compact and robust design, the PS-5 is clearly tailored to mobile use. It fits into camera bags, backpacks, messenger bags or simply into your jacket pocket. Whether you’re out and about in an urban environment, shooting while traveling, or just want a flexible setup at home: the mount is quickly at hand and just as quickly stowed away again.

Also compatible with non-magnetic smartphones

If your smartphone or case is not magnetic by default, you don’t have to buy a new device. The scope of delivery includes an especially thin metal ring that allows you to make your smartphone compatible with magnets. This ring is designed so that it can either be stuck directly onto the back of your smartphone or placed into a suitable case.

The ring only adds minimal thickness, so your smartphone still feels comfortable in your hand and usually still fits easily into mounts, bags or pockets. This means you can use practically any common smartphone with the Leofoto PS-5, even if it was not originally intended for magnetic mounts.

Arca-compatible for seamless integration into your photo setup

An important point for anyone already working with professional equipment: the Leofoto PS-5 is Arca-compatible. This means you can place it directly into corresponding quick-release clamps without additional adapters. So if you own a tripod with an Arca-style system, you can mount your smartphone just as comfortably as your camera.

This is extremely practical, especially for content creators who work with both camera and smartphone in parallel. You simply change the device, not the system. This saves you time, reduces fiddling on set and lets you react more spontaneously, whether you’re filming, shooting stills or streaming.

Ideal for travel, everyday life and professional applications

Thanks to the combination of low weight, foldable design, magnetic mount and Arca compatibility, the Leofoto PS-5 covers an astonishingly wide range of applications. It is suitable for travel, city tours, home office setups, social media productions, product videos, tutorials or simply for stable video calls with a sensible perspective.

We’d say: it’s one of those small tools that you underestimate at first, but that keeps getting pulled out of your pocket in everyday life. Because it’s quick to use, holds reliably and doesn’t get in the way. And that’s exactly what makes the Leofoto PS-5 magnetic smartphone mount a very interesting solution if you want to use your smartphone a bit more professionally, but without a lot of effort.
