IPS55: How To Set Up & Use

Introduction

This guide will walk you through the simple process of setting up your Rockville IPS55 360° Swivel Smartphone Holder Mount. The mount is versatile, secure, and designed to fit most smartphones (up to 4.1 inches wide), even when in thick protective cases. With its rubber grips and 360° swivel design, it can be mounted on microphone stands, boom arms, light stands, bicycles, or any pole between 17–35mm in diameter.

No technical experience is required—just follow the steps below.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Get to Know the Parts

The IPS55 comes in two main parts:

• Smartphone holder (fits phones up to 4.1 inches wide with rubber grips to protect your device).
• 360° swivel mount (attaches securely to poles and stands).

2. Insert Your Smartphone

1. Loosen the side knob on the smartphone holder to expand it.
2. Place your phone inside the holder.
3. Tighten the knob until your phone is snug and secure.
   • The rubber grips will protect your device from scratches and slipping.

3. Choose Your Mounting Option

The smartphone holder has threaded attachment points on the side and back. You can connect it directly or with the swivel mount:

• Direct mount: If you have equipment with a standard ¼" threading (like a light stand), you can screw the smartphone holder on directly.
• Swivel mount: Use this for microphone stands, boom arms, or poles without threading.

4. Using the Swivel Mount

1. Loosen the long knob on the swivel mount to open it.
2. Adjust the back knob to fit the rubber casing around poles sized 17–35mm.
   • Turn counterclockwise (left) for thinner poles.
   • Turn clockwise (right) for thicker poles.
3. Place the mount around the stand or pole and tighten the knobs until secure.

5. Attach the Smartphone Holder to the Swivel Mount

1. Line up the swivel mount screw with either the side or back of the smartphone holder.
2. Screw it into place.
   • Side mount: Good for karaoke, live performances, or studio use.
   • Back mount: Useful for angled viewing setups with boom arms.

6. Adjust the Viewing Angle

1. Loosen the adjustment knob on the swivel joint.
2. Rotate the holder to your desired angle (full 360° range).
3. Tighten the knob to lock it into place.

7. Test Security

Shake the mount lightly—your phone should stay secure even under movement. This makes the IPS55 ideal for activities such as singing, live streaming, or even attaching to bicycles.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: My phone won’t fit in the holder. What should I do?

• Check that your phone is less than 4.1 inches wide. If it’s larger, it may not be compatible.

Q: The mount feels loose on my stand.

• Turn the back knob clockwise to widen the grip. Ensure the rubber casing is aligned properly before tightening.

Q: Can I use it without the swivel mount?

• Yes. If your equipment has a ¼" thread (like a light stand), you can screw the holder directly onto it.

Q: Is it safe for outdoor use, like on a bike?

• Yes, the rubber grips keep the phone secure during movement, making it safe for biking or other high-activity setups.

Conclusion

The Rockville IPS55 360° Swivel Smartphone Holder Mount provides a secure and flexible way to mount your phone on stands, poles, or even bicycles. Its rubber grips protect your phone, while the 360° swivel design allows for perfect positioning.
