I’ve had this tripod for a bit now and have found it more useful than I expected. Not only is it a great tripod for photos and videos, I’ve found it useful for working at my desk and propping up my phone. It’s slim and super easy to stash in a sling and take with me wherever I go.
Long time fan of Peak Design products, and as expected, this is a very well engineered (and compact) tripod. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do its job particularly well. The attachment to my iPhone 14 is good, but not great. The bigger problem is that it’s very very difficult to position this tripod such that the front camera can angle upwards - which is one of the main positions you’d want it to be in. There just isn’t enough room under the ball head (and this is without a phone case). If you angle it back far enough the magnetic attachment will come loose but the bottom of the phone will be held in place by the angle of the bottom of the stand - which works, but isn’t particularly stable. I feel like some slightly different design choices would have made this an absolutely killer tripod but as it is, I’d save the money and get something much cheaper.
Immediately after opening the box, I knew, this is great. I use it everyday. It’s a great stand, mini tripod and at night, it’s a click stand. It’s uses are up to your own imagination, It’s light, compact, sturdy and stable. So what more do you want? No really, what more?
You have an amazing feature in your slimlock tech. All of your mobile product should utilize this proprietary tech you have otherwise what’s your competitive advantage? I bought your iPhone case ONLY because of the proprietary tech yet you don’t offer enough accessories to utilize this amazing feature. You have such an advantage…..use your tech!!!
Have not had it long so hoping it holds up with a lot of use, but it really feels like a premium build and quality build. It works great with the case I bought from peak for my phone. The magnate is not as strong as I thought it should be but so far has kept the phone in place as needed. Very handy to have with my phone.
I love it I don't really need-need a tripod for my phone But when I do, it's so good to have it on me I doesn't take a lot of space, it's not that heavy and really just does what it should
What I'd use it for? When going out to a picnic, or any outdoor event Especially if I'm hiking But also on flights to watch movies
Thinking about it, it will be perfect for my next hike trip outside the country!
I brought this on a whim as I had the PD case. It is very, very good. I know three people who have seen it and have ordered one. It is a pretty compelling product. Well made. Solid and secure.
