Small and fast print for exactly ONE use case (right, just one) - for anyone with a PowerVision S1 smartphone gimbal and a Magsafe phone. 

There are some ways to attach a PowerVision to a phone - either you buy (have bought, rather) a fitting case, or you have bought a magnetic base plate (which then needs to be glue stuck to the phone rendering the phone's magsafe capabilities void in the process) or you use the phone clamp that comes (came) with the gimbal (which unfortunately during the process of attaching either constantly starts "shuttering" because it is depressing a volume button, or, worse, keeps shutting your phone off because, properly aligned, the clamp happens to depress the on/off switch).

Three options that are none - and there is NO solution to attach this otherwise fantastic little gimbal to a magsafe phone. 

But, hey, there's other companies that sell magsafe compliant base plates, like for the Osmo series! Yes, but … these are not compatible with the Powervision.

So, if you're not ready to discard the gimbal and buy a new one, grab an Osmo base plate, get this little model and mount one of the universal magnetic pucks that came with your Powervision right smack in the center of the Osmo plate (which happens to be nicely situated right above the center of gravity of your iPhone). The puck can either be used with its pre-attached adhesive or, if you have used it before and it no longer sticks, with a drop of super glue or, as I choose to, with a M3 from the back (disassembly of base plate needed for that). And, yes, it is a good idea to attach the adpter ring with a drop of super glue, too.

The ring makes sure that gimbal and phone are aligned precisely and correct and the gimbal can be used hassle-free with the phone whenever you feel like it.

Update: Added Version 2 that works without taking the center magnets out from the Osmo-Plate first

Print in PLA or PETG, some support needed under the tiny bridge (underside needs to be flat)
