    Hello! I'm using a Galaxy S23 with this, and Im having trouble with using a wirless microphone with this gimbal and the S23 Ultra. Due to how big the phone is, the adapter that connecting to the phone forces me to pull the phone farther out from the base of the clamp and I'm afraid the stability is not great with this set up. What tip would you advise to make all three work seamlessly? I appreciate your help! :D

However it did NOT come with a USB-C to iPhone cable, it only came with a USB-C to USB-C cable (gimbal to mobile phone connection) and a USB-A to USB-C cable (gimbal charging cable). The Hohem M6 Kit manual confirms this is correct, no Iphone cable provided.
