Perfect for my uses!

I have had this for about two weeks and absolutely love it! I am doing a Time-lapse filming of me photographing spaces for my social media feed. It is also perfect for reading my phone either in landscape or portrait without me, holding it; like a mini desktop computer. Uneven surfaces, no problem. So much better than looking for a book or a wall or something to prop my phone up against so I can get photos or video that I need. The other advantage being the phone is vertical for more professional look.
Totally usable use it every day multiple times a day I really love it. I wish I could use my MagSafe charger through a pet that doesn’t work and I wish the magnet was a little bit stronger and it stuck to my peak Design iPhone case a little bit better. BUT… I still love it! I use it when I’m taking selfies. I used it to have better grip on the phone. I use it to watch videos. I use it to have a hands-free flashlight. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Since purchasing this mini-tripod it is in daily use and goes with me everywhere - like reverse cameras in cars, I'm not sure I could ever do without one in future. One small niggle - after just 3 months the legs became loose and I've not yet found a suitable tool to tighten them without risk of stripping the internal 'threads'. A simple solution for Peak Design - if the tool to tighten the ball joint could ALSO tighten the legs then problem solved (you need me on your design team ;-).
This is seriously life changing. I am a content creator so this tripod is SO great bc it's compact and always on me. I can just prop it open on any surface and hit record. This is also been super useful when I do video chats or want to read articles online without holding my phone. Finally my hands can rest a bit and I can just prop the phone on something MUCH better than a water bottle :)
Great product. I use this as a stand and tripod. Compatible with Apple MagSafe case if you have one of them on your phone. Doesn’t add too much bulk to the phone. Looking forward to taking this overseas soon.
