Pixel 7 Pro tripod mount

Anyone recommend a good phone mount to connect to a tripod for a Google Pixel 7 pro, as I would like to try some astrophotography.

I bought a similar one in the past, Vivitar also, for $3 and the quality is surprisingly good for the price. The phone mount comes with much more as you can see here. There are more expensive ones at that website if the low price worries you.

Thanks David.  I'm in the UK so will check a few sites over here.

RRS and the Kirk (ball and non-ball) mobile mounts work well, no issues with P7P fitment. 1/4-20 female. Have not tried the PMG (I do like the extended plate for potential use on a fluid head). Can also consider the two mobile phone cages from SmallRig, or perhaps the magnetic mount cage from Moment also.

Re: Pixel 7 Pro tripod mount

Truth be told, we have been using the SHAPE mount more than anything else if only because the mount allows for the use of MagSafe wireless chargers while leaving the USB-C port available for a microphone or additional exFAT storage. Added a Hejnar H007 (RRS B22 also works well). Can also use a section of 1/4-20 all-thread to either side of the mount for portrait in the absence of a ball head. Think RetiCAM, but with a built-in cold shoe up top, two additional 1/4-20 female blinds and alum vs Delrin (RetiCAM) standoffs.
