This is Dr. Martin Bordenave, I am a staff optical integration engineer at Cruise.
I would like to use the PSX123 to position a cell phone with its screen pointing in the direction of gravity and at approximately 30 cm from the optical table. Do you think it is going to be enough to hold the phone, or it could drop?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Dr. Martin Diego Bordenave spolineni
 (posted 2024-02-26 09:45:53.0) Thank you for reaching out to us. The PSX123 is specifically designed to securely hold phones and tablets with screen sizes ranging from 5.5 to 8.7 inches. When the tablet or phone screen face horizontal in direction, the clamps provide a reliable grip preventing any toppling. However, if you plan to clamp your phone with the screen facing down (a scenario we haven’t specifically tested), a few factors come into play, including the phone’s weight and the clamping force. To ensure the safety of your device, we recommend conducting your own test using a dummy weight that matches your phone’s weight and size. Proceed with caution to avoid any potential damage to the screen. |
