Compare the BRAUN Duo 57–89mm and Duo CS 64–90mm phone holders. Decide which smartphone clamp fits your phone and vlogging setup.
Quick answer
For most phones, choose the BRAUN Smartphonehalter Duo CS 64–90 mm if you plan to vlog or add a light or mic; otherwise, the Duo 57–89 mm is a simpler, lower-cost tripod mount.
Why your phone width matters
Both BRAUN smartphone holders grip by width. The Duo holds phones from 57 to 89 mm; the Duo CS from 64 to 90 mm. If your phone is narrower than 64 mm, the Duo CS will not grip it securely. Most modern smartphones fall within both ranges, but check your phone’s width before buying.
Vlogging vs. simple tripod use
The Duo CS adds a cold shoe (Zubehörschuh) for attaching a videolight or microphone — a real advantage for vlogging. The standard Duo has no accessory shoe, so you would need a separate adapter. If you only need a stable holder for occasional photos or video, the Duo is lighter and cheaper.
The VLM1 is a different option
The BRAUN VLOG Halterung VLM1 is not a clamp but a versatile mounting plate with two 1/4-inch threads and a 1/4-inch screw. It suits rigs where you want to attach a camera or smartphone to a tripod or accessory arm. If you need a clamp, stick with the Duo or Duo CS.
Decision rules
- Measure your phone: Check your phone’s width in mm. If it is below 64 mm, choose the Duo 57–89 mm; if it is 64 mm or wider, both can work.
- Plan for extra gear: If you intend to attach a microphone or videolight, choose the Duo CS 64–90 mm for its built-in accessory shoe.
- Budget and simplicity: If you only need a basic tripod mount and want to save money, the Duo 57–89 mm is sufficient. Double-check that your phone’s width fits the clamp range before ordering.
