Camera rig Ulanzi U-Rig Pro — smartphone stabilizer and filming cage, Black, compatible with iPhone XS Max/XR/8 Plus/X and most Samsung/Huawei phones

Ulanzi U-Rig Pro is a handheld smartphone camera rig and filming cage in a black finish designed to improve handheld shooting stability and expand accessory options. The frame accepts a wide range of phones, including iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X and most Samsung and Huawei models, with or without a protective case. The rig includes multiple mounting points for lights, microphones and other accessories, and a standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread on the bottom for attachment to tripods, sliders or stabilizers.

Advantages

The U-Rig Pro provides a secure phone clamp combining a spring-loaded holder with an additional screw for improved retention, reducing the risk of accidental slips during recording. Three cold shoe mounts and two 1/4"-20 threads allow simultaneous mounting of LED lights and external microphones to improve image and sound quality. The open-frame cage design increases ergonomics for longer handheld shoots while keeping access to phone buttons and ports.

Suitable for

• Vlogging and YouTube content creation

• Event coverage and run-and-gun shooting
• Product demos, tutorials and social media clips

How to use

Place your smartphone into the spring-loaded clamp and tighten the securing screw to ensure the device is firmly held. Attach any required accessories — such as an LED light or external microphone — to the cold shoe mounts or 1/4"-20 threaded holes. When needed, mount the rig to a tripod, slider or stabilizer using the bottom 1/4"-20 thread. Keep cables and connectors routed so they do not obstruct the camera view or phone controls.

Usage recommendations

Use the spring clamp and screw together for the safest hold, especially with heavier phones or when using a case. Balance accessories to avoid uneven weight distribution and test stability on a tripod or gimbal before recording extended takes.
