I am a repeated customer of Peak Design and once again I am served well by their product. this tripod has a very strong hold to the universal phone mount that I use on my Oneplus 11. It allows me to angle the phone in almost whatever angle I want instead of fixed angles like how some phone stand works. It also allow me to quickly and easily transit from portrait to landscape with a quick twist. I also extend it to use as a holder in my hands when my hands are tired from gripping the phone in its flat form. This allow me to vary my grip and minimise soreness
I simply can't overstate how this sleek and discrete tool can completely transform your phone into a little mobile workstation. It's built very well, the magnet is strong when paired with the Peak Design case, and the tension on the tripod is perfect at any angle, portrait or landscape. I work from home and my phone is basically open and unlocked all day. It sounds silly, but having it propped up on a solid but adjustable surface so I can see the screen easily and navigate around with one hand is a game-changer instead of having to pick it up every 10 seconds. The included set screw is useful, it has a nice weight to it, and is great for facetime calls, or watching media.
Only critique would be that if there was someway to incorporate the tripod function into the case itself so I could just leave it on all the time even when charging, that would be the ultimate.
Indeed great design and finish. Everything works and feels as it should as long as you have the PD case on. Other magsafe cases used with this tripod may not be 100%, because it will feel weak at attaching point in the back. Not to attached to your phone case at all times because of the weight. Maybe lose some weight and this will be 5stars exceptionally.
Got this a couple weeks ago and it's been on my phone every since. From using it as a tripod to take photos that I would not normally be able to take, to taking videos, to using it during Zoom calls at work. One surprising feature that I didn't know about was that the tripod itself is magnetic so I didn't not have to take it off when using it with my car mount. It also does not take much space so having it on the phone doesn't take much space or bulk.
Used this allot and I am very pleased with it. It really feels like a premium product, no plastic and junk. Fine materials and feels like a product that is made to last!
