I dithered about getting one of these (and an everyday case) for a while, because after all the market is littered with cheap plastic thingies that more-or-less hold a phone steady. But the difference is palpable: the pd tripod sticks to the phone like a limpet, and holds it rock steady. Fantastic for photos, and really good for watching videos on a plane too. A great design, built to last.
I am always trying to snag night shots with my iPhone and this has helped unlock the ability to do so. I am such a huge fan of this and the simplicity, yet sophistication of this sleek design.
With iPhones, evolving into rather serious cameras, I needed something that was sturdy, yet foldable for the times that I want to do a quick group shot or time lapse. This clever little Tripod has all the clever features and build quality that we expect from Peak Design. Nothing annoying about it at all. Worth well with other manufacturers mag cases.
Seriously, this is beautiful to just hold in your hand. It’s got heft, as much as you’d like for a lilliputian-esque contraption designed to hold your precious phone, but not more than that. It grips by magnet with enough force to instill confidence when used appropriately. The legs have rubber feet, and having the key to adjust the ball head swivel is not only functional, it’s cute too. But cute isn’t what the entire unit conveys as much as meticulous implementation — overkill for some, but frankly I like the fact that it overdelivers. Impressive little guy. Highly recommended!
I got this product because it looked novel and interesting but I didn’t think it would be too useful because I am not a photographer and have no intention of using it as a tripod. But I could not have been more wrong! I ended up loving this more than all of the other mobile accessories. It’s the perfect stand for my desk, nightstand, and kitchen and it really shines when using it horizontally with standby mode in iOS 17! Always having a flexible stand has proven so useful for watching videos and I really miss it when I forget it at home. Even if you’re not a photographer I think it’s worth giving it a shot!
