Product Overview

The SmallRig Universal SSD Holder (5196B) is a secure mounting solution for mobile SSDs used in professional video production.

Unlike traditional spring-loaded clamps, this holder features a controlled two-step opening mechanism that prevents finger pinching. It supports three versatile mounting methods: cold shoe, 1/4"-20 screw, and MagSafe magnetic attachment. The included adjustable USB-C cable clamp locks the data cable in place to prevent accidental disconnection during recording. Internal silicone pads protect the SSD from scratches while ensuring a non-slip grip.
