Excellent little piece of gear!

I love this little tripod. Perfect for traveling - or sitting in a bar or just about anywhere. Really simple but oh so practical. Had some problem with my first, the leg got loose, but thanks to excellent customer service I received a new one that works perfectly.
I bought this to record myself during aerial and dance classes. This product has a low profile and is so much better than bringing my Gorillapod. I am able to throw it in a small bag even. The magsafe makes attaching and detaching very quick and easy. During aerial I might be high in the air and have to film with a high vertical orientation, this compact device has enough rotation to do so.
I'm all about not-missing-the-moment. This product helps me achieve that since I no longer need to rely on someone else, or struggle to find a way to set my phone up to take pictures & videos. The only downside is it's a little heavy, which might discourage me to not carry it everyday.
I picked this up mostly to hold my phone in a good position next to my sink so when I'm washing dishes or cooking I can watch programs. It really excels in those moments. Additionally I have used it on a couple occasions with photography and it works really well. After tightening down the ball joint a bit it holds my large Samsung S23 Ultra with zero problems, even when pushed beyond vertical.
The only reason I don't give it 5/5 is that when used with the S23 Ultra the super powerful magnets make the s-pen not work. This might not be possible to solve by Peak Design, though they did fix the issue in the S23 Ultra case, so I don't really know.
