Magnet could be better
on December 10, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
I bought this mobile tripod along side the GNAR case when the iPhone 17 launched. I normally have the standard case with the stand wallet (which are brilliant together) but wanted to try something abit different this time around. My main issue with it is the magsafe magnet strength, the tripod only has one magnet at the top vs the stand wallet at the top and bottom so has a much stronger hold. Everytime i go to take the legs out or rotate to landscape the tripod falls off, it will often fall off in my pocket as well. I have the Pro Max + the GNAR case making the phone fairly heavy to be fair. Back to the old combo or me! The mobile tripod is a great idea in concept but hasn't really worked for me that well - an expensive experiment!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Clever. Handy. Lightweight.

Light enough to pack in your everyday carry.
Handy enough to justify the expense.
Clever enough that when you need to tighten it, you’ll see the genius of magnetically hiding the tool inside the tripod itself.

Don’t you wish Peak Design designed everything?

Include wrench is the wrong size for the leg bolts
on November 26, 2025

I’ve had this tripod for a year or two at this point and am overall very happy with it. It’s clever and useful. My complaint is that while PD went through the trouble of using a tiny Allen key to adjust the tension on the main ball joint, the Allen bolts on the legs are a different size, so the included tool doesn’t work to tighten the legs when they become loose, which mine have.

Long term issues, not worth it
on November 2, 2025

I love this tripod and I was so exited when I got it. But !!!! After a couple of months of use the rubber tips started to break until they fell off completely. This is terrible and it makes the tripos useless. I did get a warranty and they replace it, but even with the new one Im starting to see that I happens again. I don't recommend this product at all until they fix this issue or get spare parts of rubber in the package.

Overall Pretty good

This tripod works well, but doesn’t adhere to non-peak design cases as well as I’d hoped. If you have a PD case, it will be almost impossible to get off, but with another MagSafe case, it kind of slides and falls off. I understand why they did it, but it’s annoying

Beautifully designed and machined - Pure Magic!

This small, little piece of equipment travels with me everywhere. It doesn’t take up any space, and for its function, it’s lightweight. Face-timing is so much more convenient using this little tripod, and it’s always there if you want to shoot photos at night or time-lapses. The design is beautiful and functional; the legs have rubber feet, and I especially love the integrated little tuning tool for the ball head (not that I need it much). The mobile tripod is a must-have for everyone who has a pd phone case!

Great replacement for Joby gorillapod
on July 16, 2025

I carried a larger tripod to hikes with me for a long while but recently I picked up trail running and found carrying the other tripod bulky, especially if running with just a vest. I bought the mobile tripod as a replacement. I didn’t purchase the accompanying case bc I already have a Moment case on my phone. It’s true that the MagSafe by itself isn’t very strong, especially compared to the Moment MagSafe tripod mount that it replaced, but I haven’t had any major issues with keeping the phone on the mobile tripod. You just have to fiddle with the tripod more to find the sweet spot where the phone stays on. It does make your phone a bit more bulky (I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max), but I still prefer carrying the mobile tripod over any other tripod I have. In the three weeks I’ve had it, I’ve used it as much as I’ve used the Joby Gorillapod two months before, partly because I can carry it discreetly everywhere. If you don’t use it for photos, you can use it to prop up your phone to watch video too. I also find myself using it as a fidget toy. Will I stop using the Joby tripod? No. I might still use it for hikes or trail runs where I’m carrying a bigger pack, but for now the Peak design tripod is my go to choice for when I’m going outside, or just anywhere really. I love it!
