The Peak Design iPhone Tripod is a sturdy, well-designed aluminum frame that folds into a credit card-sized shape. A small hex wrench is also built into the tripod legs to tighten them if necessary, meaning you’re paying a premium for construction design and quality.
It uses a sturdy micro-ball head that allows you to adjust the angle of your iPhone when in tripod mode. Even better, it magnetically attaches securely to your phone both vertically and horizontally. This makes it a great stand for your phone even when you’re not trying to take videos or photos.
And while you don’t have to shell out for a Peak Design case to see it work, it will make you feel more connected. MagSafe iPhone locks onto your peripheral and holds this mobile tripod securely, whether in use or folded.
There are plenty of more affordable MagSafe phone stands available, including Moft’s Snap-On Stand and Wallet, which lets you prop up your iPhone while holding a few credit cards, Anker’s MagGo phone grip, and the now ubiquitous PopSockets. there is. While these MagSafe accessories are useful, they aren’t as sturdy as ones that attach securely to your smartphone or smartphone case. All the MagSafe stands, wallets, chargers, and other accessories I’ve tried eventually came off if I applied enough force. However, with Peak Design’s tripod, there is no sticky residue or the need to use a specific case. — Matt Smith, UK Bureau Chief
