Abstract: A mount for photographic devices including smart phones, tablets, digital cameras has a mount frame and pivoting mount arm, powerful magnets on the mount frame for attachment of the mount to ferrous surfaces or structures, and an attachment device on the mount arm configured for attachment to a photographic device. The mount frame may be otherwise mechanically attached to any support structure, and a photographic device may be in a position or orientation relative to the mount arm. Compressible friction pads are provided on surfaces of the mount frame and mount arm.
