The tripod is well thought out with equal quality construction. I have not had an opportunity to use it in the field. It does add a little more weight to the phone than I like, however that is not a showstopper.
Very well built, excellent functionality. BUT, two issues. First, the phone doesn't lay flat on a table with the tripod attached but closed. Second, WAY too heavy to leave on the case all day. Could you offer a new version machined/molded from a lightweight engineered plastic, like a liquid crystal polymer?
Usually, when I want a tripod I don't have one, but this solves that problem. It's simple to use and it makes taking long-exposure photos and selfies so much easier.
As a busy entrepreneur I need things to make my life easier and this mini tripod helps create amazing shots for social media and packs down to almost nothing.
I have had this tripod for about 8 months and it has been an absolute game changer. I literally use it every single day, not just for filming, but as a fantastic phone stand for when I watch videos while eating, or need to check a recipe. It's better than anything I have seen out there.
But where it really shines, is in the quality of the videos it puts out. We have two young kids and getting high quality videos of them has been key for us. Our home movies look professional and I've been thrilled with the kinds of shots I can get that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
I've had this for about 2 months and can't say I've used it much. It is very handy in situations where you need to stand up the phone, whether it's to take photos or watch a show, or even using FaceTime while you're doing something else. However, the primary reason why I don't use this often is because it is quite heavy and adds quite a bit of weight to carry around, therefore it's usually left at (or forgotten) at home so it's rarely with me when I have a need for it.
