What the Kenro Smart Lite Holder Does
The Kenro Smart Lite Tablet and Smartphone Holder is a two-sided clamp that holds a smartphone on one side or a tablet on the other. A 1/4" screw thread at the bottom lets you attach it to a mini ball head, tripod, or other accessory that uses that standard thread size. This guide walks through the setup steps, device size limits, and what to check before you mount it.
Step-by-Step Tripod Setup
This process assumes you have a tripod or mount with a 1/4"-20 male screw or a compatible ball head. The holder does not include a tripod.
- 1. Check your device size: The holder fits tablets 110–180 mm wide and smartphones 58–90 mm wide. Measure your device across the width (not diagonal) before proceeding. If it falls outside these ranges, the clamp will not hold securely.
- 2. Attach the holder to the tripod: Screw the 1/4" thread at the bottom of the holder onto your tripod’s mounting screw or mini ball head. Turn clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten; hand-tight is sufficient.
- 3. Select the correct side: One side of the clamp is designed for a smartphone, the other for a tablet. Place your device in the appropriate side. The holder does not have a universal middle position.
- 4. Secure the device: Close the clamp until it holds the device firmly. Test by gently nudging the device – it should not slide or tilt. If it moves, adjust the clamp tension.
- 5. Position and lock the tripod: Extend the tripod legs and adjust the angle. Use the ball head (if present) to level the holder. Lock all tripod knobs before releasing your hands.

What the Holder Does Not Cover
The supplied information does not specify a maximum weight limit for the holder, nor does it include instructions for balancing a heavy tablet on a lightweight tripod. If you use a large tablet, make sure your tripod is sturdy enough to prevent tipping. The holder also does not include a quick-release plate or a built-in bubble level – you will need to level it manually using your tripod’s head.
