The ERA-TAC iPhone 5/SE Adapter/Mount with QD Lever (MPN: T1370-0001) is a mechanical firearm accessory engineered by Recknagel to secure early-generation Apple smartphones directly to a rifle platform. Featuring a precision-machined quick-detach (QD) lever mechanism, the mount attaches directly to any standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny or Weaver rail interface, including secondary optic-ring rails equipped with the ERA-TAC UNIVERSAL-Interface. Designed to hold the phone securely in place, it allows shooters to run active ballistic calculators, use electronic cant-leveling tools, or capture video footage from the weapon's perspective without altering the rifle's zero.

Key Features

• Quick-Detach Rail Clamp: Employs a self-locking ERA-TAC QD lever mechanism for tool-free attachment and removal on MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and Weaver rails.
• Shock-Absorbing Articulation: Incorporates a rubberised ball-and-socket joint that dampens mechanical recoil impulse while offering multi-axis rotation between portrait and landscape orientations.
• Form-Fitted Device Retention: Utilises a dedicated molded cradle built specifically for 123.8 mm chassis devices, eliminating device slippage during live-fire strings.
• Centerfire Recoil-Proof Base: Manufactured with German-engineered hardware rated recoil-proof across standard and magnum centerfire rifle calibres.
• Zero Power Draw: Functions as a purely mechanical rail interface that requires no internal batteries, external charging, or electrical safety certifications.

Who is the ERA-TAC iPhone 5/SE Adapter/Mount with QD Lever for?

• Long-range precision rifle shooters — Attaches directly to a standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail to position a 123.8 mm phone chassis alongside the optic, providing eye-level visibility for real-time ballistic calculation and digital bubble-level applications.
• Hunters recording point-of-view footage — Uses a dedicated cradle molded to the 7.6 mm depth of early-generation Apple handsets to capture recoil-resistant weapon-mounted video and digital cant correction directly from a MIL-STD-1913 rail interface.

Less suitable for: Mobile devices measuring over 124 mm in length or modern generations (iPhone 6 and onward), which exceed the cradle's physical capacity and require a wider universal smartphone clamp or updated chassis bracket.
