A. Yes, it supports any smartphone up to 600g via a 1/4"-20 mount, pairing best with wide-angle lenses on iOS or Android. It attaches to most tripods or GorillaPods, but ensure a stable base for full extension.

Q. What warranty and shipping information applies to the Joby Swing?
A. It includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty for defects. The compact design (290g) allows for quick shipping, typically 2-5 business days from most retailers with tracking options.

Q. How does the Joby Swing compare to traditional camera sliders like Syrp or Moza?
A. The Swing offers similar linear motion in a pocket-sized form, unlike bulkier Syrp sliders. It focuses on smartphone use with app simplicity, while Moza models handle heavier payloads but lack the Swing's foldable portability.

Q. How do I maintain the Joby Swing for consistent performance?
A. Charge via USB-C before use and store folded to avoid stress on the arm. Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust; avoid water. Regularly check the bubble level and app connection for smooth operation.

Q. What distinguishes Joby from other motion control brands like Edelkrone or DJI?
A. Joby prioritizes lightweight, ecosystem-integrated tools for mobile creators, with easy app control. Unlike Edelkrone's pro rigs or DJI's gimbals, Joby emphasizes foldable design for on-the-go smartphone content.
