Easy to use. just pull the clamps and insert phone. Holds well so far. Nice rubber grips. Bonus is the ability to lengthen the clamps to fit different devices easily.

I've had a number of K&F Concept products and found them to be pretty good so far, and this one isn't bad but it's got an obvious flaw that surprised me.
What you're getting is an expandable grip that can hold your phone or your tablet in landscape or portrait mode. There's a screw thread on one end, and another on one side, allowing you to have the clamp on the vertical or horizontal axis meaning you can take landscape photos or portrait depending on your needs and pretty much regardless of your tripod. The thread obviously fits standard tripod screws.
The good thing about their design is that there's a button on either side, and when you depress it, you can pull the clamp out and lock it in a number of position against a ratchet. Meaning you can open it wide. Whether or not you extend it like that, you can then pull the clamps wider against their spring loaded mechanism which is what provides your grip. That means I can fit my phone in its case end to end and it's one of the largest flagships out there.
That mechanism works pretty well and is better than similar clamps I've had, which I'll now be disposing of.
The whole thing is very light since it's plastic. The opposite end to the screw thread (the end one not the side mounted one) is a cold shoe clamp for attaching camera accessories which would probably be a microphone in this case.
What's the downside? They forgot that phones and tablets belong in cases, and all assumptions about them should be done from that perspective. I don't want to take my device out of the case to mount it. Unfortunately, having forgotten that, they didn't account for it in the design of the rubberised clamps which don't account for the perfectly normal added thickness. There was room to do that, they just didn't. Which is silly. It'll hold my phone in it's case but when it's landscape, I don't think it's gripping it well enough for long term use. The central section is also too thick, so it can conflict with the extended camera bump the flagships insist on having for no reason. If it were less thick, and the clamp ends were able to cope with a bigger radius that would be vastly superior.
You can probably ignore that if you don't use a case, or use something incredibly thin. Even without my case though, my current phone has flat ends instead of rounded ones, so in landscape it doesn't fit well. Which is a pity since it's just not up to their usual design standard and it's a super predictable problem.

Los soportes para tablet suelen ser mucho más aparatosos. Este modelo, sirve tanto para móviles como para tablets, quedando en un tamaño muy compacto cuando está plegado. Inicialmente el resorte se adapta sólo a móviles, pero al pulsar una pestañita, se alarga cada extremo, permitiendo colocar tablets. La fijación se hace con un resorte, personalmente prefiero los de otro tipo, aunque en este caso, la sujeción es firme incluso para una tablet. Tiene un hueco que permite tener conectado el dispositivo mientras se usa. No lleva rótula, en el anuncio no se ve del todo claro, pero confirmo que no la lleva.
