The best camera you have is the one you have with you, and I would add, the best tripod you have is the one you have with you as well. This slim add-on is comfortable in my pocket attached to my iPhone. It does add a little bit of heft though. The beveled edges and tapered profile mean that it doesn’t snag when taking my phone out and putting it away. So many ways to use and position it with my iPhone, and the ball head is silky smooth. This is going to sit on my phone 99% of the time. I can use it as a versatile tabletop tripod, or a convenient stand to prop up my phone for reading or watching a video. Great job Peak Design, this one’s a winner!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome little tripod!

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.

Tripodosaurus Rad
on September 1, 2023
Posted by: texascody

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.

Best accessory ever

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.

Great for everyday use

Yes, this will add some weight and bulk to your phone if you use it everyday, which I don't mind. It's very useful when you want to take photos if there are no one else around to take a photo for you, or if you're at your desk and want the phone to stand upright.
Only issue I have with this tripod is that the rubber tip of the stand will eventually break off after some wear and tear, and the black paint on the legs will come off as well.

Digital Nomad's go-to
on September 18, 2024

from Denver and San Sebastian
Recently purchased the mobile tripod to test out on with an Apple magsafe phone case. Attaches quickly and smoothly. For being so light it's quite hearty, and the quality of construction and chosen materials is apparent. Bought the universal adapter to use with an ipad mini as well, and so far, it's excellent for this purpose as well.

Overall Pretty good

This tripod works well, but doesn’t adhere to non-peak design cases as well as I’d hoped. If you have a PD case, it will be almost impossible to get off, but with another MagSafe case, it kind of slides and falls off. I understand why they did it, but it’s annoying
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the product, doesn't hold up with heavy phone
on April 14, 2026
Posted by: sholdzy

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.
