The support consists of a plastic frame with a foam base and a metal clip (with a protecting rubber to avoid damaging the phone) that slides and is maintained by a spring. It is quite effective and it secures the phone.
The foot is correct. The sliding members hold only by friction against the outer tube, there is no blockage. This is sufficient when 3 feet are apart.
Standard mounting system: you can put a small camera on the foot and use the support to position the clip on a ball / more tripod.
I am satisfied with this product that matches my expectations.
