Mira's cut. Measure your phone's width to ensure the clamp jaws close fully. Check the rod's extended length to match your desired shooting distance.
I keep seeing returns for gimbal extension rods that simply do not hold the phone steady. The issue is rarely the rod itself; it is a mismatch between the clamp size and the phone's physical dimensions.
Before you add to cart, look at the Amazon listing for the clamp's maximum opening width. Match that number to your phone's width, and verify the rod's total extended length fits your shooting style.

Before you buy the wrong generation
What dimension should I measure on my phone first?
Measure the width of your phone from edge to edge to ensure the clamp can close around it securely.
How do I know if the rod length is right for me?
Check the listing for the maximum extended length and compare it to the distance you need for your shots.
What if the clamp is too tight or too loose?
If the fit is wrong, the phone will slip or the clamp will damage the device, so you must choose a different size.
