Mobile Tripod

This is perhaps one of the most underrated or at least lesser known Peak Design (PD) products and it is awesome. This product is about the thickness of 4 credit cards and secured firmly to the back of the PD mobile cases with a strong magnet. It will attach to an iPhone or other magsafe type connection or metal but PD case has stronger magnets than my iPhone 15 magsafe magnet. So if you wan to leave it on your phone I suggest using the PD case which are awesome too. The magnet will work on my wife’s phone without the PD case well enough to take pictures but not enough to leave it on while taking it in and out of my pocket or to trust carrying the phone by the tripod. The tripod stays nice and tight after frequent use but it’s nice there is a small easy to use tool included and hidden away and secured in place on the tripod. The tripod works well on a variety of surfaces and can be adjusted easily with the micro ball head. The tripod’s design has one limitation. With a large phone in portrait (vertical) orientation the bottom of the phone will come into contact with the tripod legs blocking the rear facing camera camera from shooting upwards. In landscape (horizontal) mode this is not an issue with either the front facing or rear caching cameras is not an issue. Shooting with the front facing camera in portrait orient it is usually fine, as it can from level to almost straight up which is generally fine for most selfies.

I have PeakDesign cases for both iOS and Android phones, and love the cases, but what really makes them shine is this "tripod-thingy". At first it seems quite overpriced (ok - it's not cheap!) but its thoughtful functionality beats absolutely everything I have used since smartphones were invented (I started with iPhone 2 and then Pixel 3!). The design is very adaptable: vertical or horizontal, flush with the table surface (for quick use) or raised above the surface (to allow room for a charging cable, although it works even better with an L-shaped adapter; better than regular Lightining or USB-C cable), strong, so it does not separate from the phone in a bag or backpack. I tried this also with available "universal sticky adapter square," when there was no PeakDesign case for my previous phone for a while, and in that setup, I would give it 4 stars for that use - it creates a small distance between the folded tripod and the phone (a larger, rectangular adapter would easily solve this problem - that's a hint, PeakDeasign design team!) which makes it easier to pop-off in a bag sometimes and slightly less stable in fully extended 3-leg vertical position. But even in that less-than-optimal setup it was still better than other "stand" solutions I had tried, and if you change phones, for $25 you can just get an adapter and you're set. But it is really designed to be PERFECT with PeakDesign cases, and then it is a 5+ star showstopper. Really. (I paid full price for both I own, and have no vested interest other than I love thoughtfully designed things that do the job perfectly). The tiny magnetic thingy to let you tighten the ballhead friction is genius and while I don't have to use it often, over time, it is useful for a small tightening/tweaks. This is my favorite phone "accessory" of all time - no question about that!

I picked up the Peak Design Mobile Tripod because I wanted something compact and stable for watching videos, taking calls, and filming when I’m traveling. As expected from Peak Design, the build quality is excellent. The tripod folds up incredibly thin, slips right into a pocket or small pouch, and opens into a surprisingly sturdy stand for a phone. For watching content on the go or setting up a quick hands-free shot, it’s honestly one of the best-designed mobile tripods I’ve used. Where it gets a bit tricky is compatibility. The mounting system feels almost proprietary, and it’s definitely finicky if you’re not using a Peak Design case or their approved magnetic setup. With their case, everything locks in perfectly and feels rock solid. Without it, the connection isn’t nearly as seamless, and the magnet can feel weaker or misaligned depending on the phone. For travel, though, this tripod is hard to beat. It’s lightweight, beautifully engineered, and incredibly convenient. Bottom line: A fantastic ultra-compact tripod for mobile use, but it works best—almost exclusively—with Peak Design’s own mounting ecosystem. If you’re already in that system, it’s an easy recommendation.

Everything is good about this product . High quality, durable, beautiful! Sticks to the phone, lightweight, fits in luxury designed car as it was made for it! On an expensive side, but worth money.

I had to do a review on this as I saw many reviewers were dissatisfied with the price point of this item. While the price is high, the quality is excellent and the item can last for years and should be compatible with future Iphones. This is the most compact tripod I could find. I did find some Iphone cases that had the tripod screw but it only went up to a 12 or so. If you have the room for it you can purchase a mini tripod with a phone adapter for like 10 on this site or others and it works just as well, but you need to have extra room. For me having a phone in my pocket with a tripod is worth the money so I can be in the pictures with the family.

This is so ridiculously overpriced. Offensively overpriced. And still, likely the coolest thing I’ve bought this year. Going to pretend I didn’t spend that.

solid product - love it and use it everyday.

great design , but useless on an iphone 17 pro max because of weak magnet. ive tried apple case, and two others - failure. it also does not hold well without a case, direct to magsafe. shoulda read the reviews before purchasing and wife threw out the box to return. if anyone with peak reads this, send me a Peak case to resolve as some suggest may work, but im skeptical.

Good product for taking photo and video

This seemed expensive but I'm convinced it's worth it. In the same way 'the best camera is the one you have with you' is a truism, I was keen to get a smartphone tripod that I'd always have with me. This is so small, you can easily leave it attached. It attaches via MagSafe and the friction is decent on my Apple silicone case. When deployed it feels like a proper tripod - solid and stable. There's an included tool for tightening the friction on the ball joint - works very well. I'm using it for FaceTime calls at work and will be doing long exposure photography when out in the hills. No more propping my iPhone on a wall.

Parfait pour tourner des vidéos pour mes réseaux sociaux. Très solide et super compact

値段はするが、デザイン、質感共、所有欲を満たしてくれる。素晴らしい。

Im travelling and i used once and after that doesn’t stick to back of my iphone 16 pro max and falls off
