I'm all about not-missing-the-moment. This product helps me achieve that since I no longer need to rely on someone else, or struggle to find a way to set my phone up to take pictures & videos. The only downside is it's a little heavy, which might discourage me to not carry it everyday.
I picked this up mostly to hold my phone in a good position next to my sink so when I'm washing dishes or cooking I can watch programs. It really excels in those moments. Additionally I have used it on a couple occasions with photography and it works really well. After tightening down the ball joint a bit it holds my large Samsung S23 Ultra with zero problems, even when pushed beyond vertical.
The only reason I don't give it 5/5 is that when used with the S23 Ultra the super powerful magnets make the s-pen not work. This might not be possible to solve by Peak Design, though they did fix the issue in the S23 Ultra case, so I don't really know.
Just discovered these phone cases and accessories and picked up the pixel case and tripod. The tripod adds some considerable weight, but it feels extremely well made. The adjustment for the ball joint is awesome - at first the phone would fall at certain angles, but a quick tighten with the embedded tool and all is good!
