On the left you can see the size of the tripod and the phone clamp relative to the N95. A well known size for many of us. As you can see it is small enough to fit in a jacket breastpocket or even the innerpocket. The tripod's length width the standard  1/4" screw pointing up is about 164 mm, give or take a mm. With the legs unfolded and maximal extended it has a standing height of 254 mm without the screw.

In the right picture you can see the telescopic tripod legs in its three different lenghts. The middle length can't really lock into position as do the other two positions, but there is a notch that gives sufficient support to hold the N95 on the tripod. The clamp is visible in the following picture series. Clearly you can see how it unfolds. The screw is on the left:


Maximum inner clamp size is at least 54 mm with sufficient thread remaining to clamp with adequate force. Below you can see the N95 mounted in the DT-22. Since this is a asymmetric distribution there is the preference to tipover in the direction the phone is held. I measured the weight placed on the different leg tips  in this situation and got 70, 120 and 160 grams. Which is is a geeky way to say, don't bump the table where you put the tripod-N95 combo on, not even slighly.


It's capable of holding my SonyEricsson w800i phone too, but not my N800. The N800 form factor is inconvenient, which is a pity. It would be great to hold the N800 at a more pleasant viewing height when working with a bluetooth keyboard at a table.

Addenum: I forgot to mention something about the build quality. Well it is excellent and I really mean excellent. Durable  wearproof plastic and metal. The only comment I have is that the balljoint is a bit light. There is a slight tendency to sagg holding the N95 in landscape mode.
