I purchased this primarily as a tripod for an iPhone. The articulated legs are stiff but functional. The mount that holds the camera is not particularly stable and only works in landscape mode. On the iPhone 17 there are 2 buttons on the right side of the phone and the mount attaches in such a way that makes it difficult to use these buttons.
I was initially skeptical when I saw this because it seemed too small to be able to hold my heavy phone. You can imagine how pleased and surprised I was to see that though little, this mini tripod held its position without bending under the weight of my phone, regardless of what position it was in! I was so pleased!! Definitely would recommend - it's perfect to keep on my desk or attach to weight bars at the gym, and even attach to strollers and such.
For the money, it’s a great mount. Could use a better grip for the phone but love that it is versatile and can grip around poles and other unstable places you would want to stage your phone. Also wanted to note that it is more suited for landscape mode, you can do portrait but it makes the legs uneven and kind of weird. Would buy again at the price point for a decent, cheap phone mount.
I purchased this a few weeks ago and it works so good for putting my fan or even my mini projector in different positions, the legs wrap around anything
