Bought the mobile tripod and it upgraded how i use my phone on a daily basis. I like taking videos and photos and most of the time I am by myself on trips so having a discreet and reliable tripod for mobile is a big plus for me.
I would also like to comment how accommodating their customer service is. Been using the tripod everyday and the screw got loose . Got in touch with the team and they replaced it under their great warranty policy.
Will be a loyal customer for as long as they keep innovating products for greatwr efficiency
I was a sceptic when I initially saw this tripod, especially since it is not cheap and so I skipped buying it when I bought my PD Mobile case and some other accessories. After a couple of months of using the PD Mobile ecosystem I decided I needed the tripod too and snapped it up. Oh my! When it arrived I was immediately taken back by how solid it feels. It's beautifully designed, lightweight and so easy to use, I love it!
I use this with my Pixel 7 Pro with a peak design case.
It only comes off if I need to lighten the load (e.g. tight pant pockets). While this is supposed to be a photography tool, I'd argue its real value is making content consumption on my phone a real joy. What sets it apart from other phone 'stands' is the nearly infinite angles you can place the display.
I've been an iPhone user since about 2009 and have a drawer full of various tripod-like gizmos to help me keep my phone steady when I'm doing photo or video work. The Peak Mobile Tripod is, hands-down, the best tripod I've yet to find.
Yes, it's the perfect on-the-go tripod for doing impromptu videos wherever I happen to be. Yes, it folds up sleekly and doesn't need to be removed from the camera when I put my phone in my pocket. And yes, the built-in key for adjusting the ball tension is a brilliant touch.
But where I find myself using this the most is when I'm sitting at my desk working. I can easily prop up my phone and use it for videos, for monitoring my email inbox, or for whatever else my phone might be useful for. If I have to take a Zoom call on my phone, I'm not scrambling to find a stand or something to prop my phone up with.
This is an infinitely useful accessory, and it has quickly become the iPhone attachment that I can't live without.
This tripod does everything, it made me a nice omelet this morning, not like a sloppy Denver omelet, but one of those light creamy french ones. It mates with my Peak phone case like an 80's undercover Miami PD crime drama television series duo. I feel strangers observing its supreme functionality and pondering why their life choices have led them to a phone void of the Tripodosaurus. The Tripodosaurus emerges out of the boiler room of your phone with the elegance of a spaceship landing on a planet that might offer the natural resources to save mankind, or might be an awful mistake because of the really mean spirited aliens that live there, but either way, the landing of the spaceship is flawless and structurally stable. Once on the mystery planet you can watch your programs in landscape or portrait and not worry about anything sliding around as the Tripodosaurus has little sticky, yet fashionable, booties on its feet. The T Rad has a tiny tool embedded in its gut that allows on the move tweaking of its rigidity ecosystem, however, I have not seen the need to do so as of yet, but geez I wanna take that thing outta there, it's magical looking, like the tiny sword of a tiny Conan the Barbarian. The T Rad will make your dreams come true. But if we all had one, then mine would be less cool, and that's not appealing to me, so live your life I guess is the the ultimate take away here, I'm just a guy that crushes life in every aspect, except soccer, I'm not good at soccer.
This tripod is exceptional. Works flawlessly with my MagSafe case while I’m waiting for my Nomad X Peak rugged case to arrive tomorrow. Insanely light and highest quality machines aluminum and nice finish. The adjustable tension is great and the rubber anti slip feet are a really nice touch. This is the quality Peak stands for. Worth every penny!
Bought this to shoot time lapse of boats passing by. Decided to get this as taking out my big tripod was a bit cumbersome. This little thing is well built. Though it does add some weight to the phone but it is very sturdy. It has a place on my jeans back pocket whenever I go out for times when I want to be in a group photo.
