Great but not perfect

This mobile tripod works very well and I’m very pleased with it except for its weight. It’s quite a bit heavier than I expected. Moreover I had to use the peak design case which is inferior to my previous case.
It ain’t cheap but it’s slender, well made and works seamlessly with the Peak phone cases. I carry it with me for virtual meetings while I’m on the go and for the occasional photo that needs some stabilizing.
Love the product, doesn't hold up with heavy phone

This is close to being a perfect product. It's slim and well built, and great when brand new. After some time, the ball joint loosens and starts to lose its holding power. I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro - one of those surprisingly heavy ones. On any other non-pro iPhone I bet this would be perfect, but unfortunately not usable for me anymore.
Delighted with the slim form factor. Fits nicely in my pocket for easy carrying and being readily available. It is well made of metal making it substantial and able to hold a large phone without falling over. The magnetic attachment is excellent for iPhones (I'm not familiar with Android phones) and especially if you have a Peak Design case.
I've had this little gizmo three years and now detect that the legs are not as stuff as they were. I tried using built-in allen wrench to tighten, but I can't get a grip. It's still not a total loss a--nd it does splay out and let me use on a table--it just splats to widest extension. Just wondering if anyone else knows the trick to tighten the little screw. It's a tiny, tiny hole and I can't see there's a hex -- more of a circle. So hard to grip.
I have been using this almost everyday for a couple of weeks. It is a nice design and operates without any issues. I have used it in taking pictures, and reading emails (or scrolling). A light touch is enough to reposition it, but hasn’t been an issue with screen use while positioned upright. It does seem to need tightening a little more than I am comfortable with tightening it.
